How To Get Cake Pops Out Of Mold

Cakes are a delicious idea for any party, event, or dinner, but sometimes they can be difficult to pass out to everyone. Cupcakes are an easy way to get a single serving, yet they can also be a bit messy. Thanks to the new market for molds made of silicone, it is now a breeze to put cake in the cute, single-serving form of a cake pop!

Unlike making them by hand, cake pops with mold units are simple to make and turn out great – so long as you know some tricks for making these beautiful treats. Let’s get started on how to make cake pops with a mold!

NOTE: This recipe uses about 1/3 of a box of cake mix in order to make a smaller batch of cake pops. If you would like to use the entire box, prepare the batter as instructed on the box, proceed with filling the mold and baking, and you will end up with about 60 cake pops or more.

Lightly oil the inside of the cake pop mold (top and bottom piece). This will make removing them easier later on. Place the bottom mold on a cookie sheet.

Fill each of the cavities of the mold with cake batter – leaving about 1 mm between the surface of the batter and the top of the mold (this is important so the cake pops don’t overflow when baking, and also so that they don’t end up flat). Cover with the top mold, making sure to press all parts of the molds together securely.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Stick a toothpick through a hole in the mold to determine if the cake pops are done. There is no need to open the mold to check. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Open the silicone mold and let cool another 5 to 10 minutes before removing the cake balls.

Melt a little bit of chocolate. Dip one end of each cake pop stick into the melted chocolate. Then insert it into the cake pop. Repeat with the rest. Place in a stand and refrigerate for 30 minutes to seal them together.

Melt the chocolate for the coating (you can use the microwave, mixing every 30 seconds so that it doesn’t over-cook. Or you can place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water – double boiler style).

Coat the cake pops with the melted chocolate by swirling them in the chocolate and decorate with the sprinkles while they are still wet. Let the cake pops sit in a stand (we poked holes in an egg carton to use as a stand) to harden the coating at room temperature.

As you can see, while they might seem intimidating at first, it is not too difficult learning how to make cake pops with a mold. On the contrary, trying time and time again to mold your own shapes by hand is a much harder task.

Mastering these molds makes baking so much more enjoyable. The trick to perfection each time is simply to make sure those silicone molds are lightly oiled properly before the batter is added to them and securely fitted together when baking.

If they are not overfilled, then your little dollops of cake will bake into perfect spheres, ready to be dipped in whatever topping you choose. Try not to be hard on yourself if there is some cake baked in between the mold cavities; this is still a success and very easy to remove with a small knife once the cake pops have cooled.

Some popular flavor suggestions include a butter pecan cake with a smooth vanilla icing. Try a decadent rich chocolate with a dark chocolate dip or mix that chocolate concoction with coconut to create a German chocolate cake combination. Strawberry, vanilla, and lemon are all delicious choices, as are utilizing red velvet or yellow cakes with a variety of icings and sprinkles.

Unlike making them by hand, cake pops with mold units are simple to make and turn out great – so long as you know some tricks for making these beautiful treats.

Cake pops are very simple to make because they only require only a few ingredients like baked boxed cake mix, vanilla frosting, and of course they are dipped in melted candy melts (the kind you can pour into molds).

For cake balls– When making cake balls all you really need is a baked cake made with cake mix, frosting, and candy melts to coat the outside of the balls. You can shape the cake balls with your hands or use a meatballer to get the perfect shape and size each time.

How

For cake pops– you will need the same ingredients here but you need to add cake pop sticks and a styrofoam block to keep the pops upright until they harden.

Here is a quick rundown on how to make these addictive and delicious treats. You can find the full detailed recipe in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Overheat– When melting candy melts, be careful and make sure you do NOT overheat the candy coating. If this happens it will harden up too much.

Thin it out– In order to get a smooth candy coating that will ensure that your cake balls have a gorgeous outer shell you need to thin it out. You can mix in Crisco shortening, coconut oil, or EZ-thin dipping aid for a runnier consistency.

The best way to prevent the cake balls from falling off the stick is by making sure you added enough frosting to the cake balls and thinning out the candy coating. If the chocolate coating is too thick it will be heavy and way down on the cake balls.

TIP: If you want to avoid using the stick, just make cake balls instead! I have an easy recipe for red velvet cake balls and no-bake oreo cake balls right here in my blog.

How

If you’re looking into a super fast and easy version of my original vanilla cake pops, you have to try my no-bake oreo cake pops (VIDEO). All you need is Oreos, cream cheese, and candy melts. That’s it!

The only substitute for candy melts would be chocolate. If you set out to make cake balls without candy melts, you will need to mix 1 tbsp vegetable oil for every 1 cup of chocolate chips.

There are usually two reasons why they can crack. Before dipping the balls you want to set the stick by placing the cake pops in the freezer for 15 minutes. If you dip them and the candy melts are too hot, they will crack because of the sudden temperature change. Or the cake balls were too cold if you kept them in the freezer for over 15 minutes. Again, the drastic temperature change can cause the cracking effect here as well.
