Make sure you use a cooking spray that contains flour. This is very important to help the cake come out of the pan fully.

Don’t make the cake balls too big! You want them to be exactly 1 T. Too big and they’ll be too top heavy on the sticks and they’ll fall off.

You don’t want the cake pops to be in the fridge for too long after poking them with the sticks and before dipping in the chocolate. If the cake balls are too cold and the melted chocolate is still pretty hot, you can get cracking in the cake pops.

I dipped some of my cake pops in chocolate candy melts, and some in dark chocolate. Be careful when melting the chocolate, you don’t want to scorch it!

If using pure chocolate, make sure you add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it out before melting it. This will make the coating smoother and all around better for coating the cake pops.

No cake pop stand or styrofoam? No worries! If you have a box from a recent Amazon delivery, you can place that on the counter and poke the sticks through that!

How To Make 4 Ingredient Cake Pops

To make things easier, you can make the chocolate cake and frosting one day (store the cake covered at room temperature and the frosting in an airtight container in the fridge) and then assemble and dip the next day!

Store cake pops at room temperature for 5 days or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

If you’re wanting to freeze chocolate covered cake pops, the best way to avoid the chocolate from cracking is to prevent drastic temperature changes. So let the chocolate set, then place in the fridge and then the freezer. You might experience slight condensation when you remove them from the freezer. They will last for 2 months in the freezer.

This happens when the chocolate is too hot and the cake balls are too cold. The stark difference of temperature can cause the chocolate coating on the outside to crack. You want the balls to be slightly chilled so the melted chocolate will firm up quickly (and not be dripping off the ball), but you don’t want them to be frozen are super cold. And you won’t need to reheat your chocolate prior to dipping the balls. Let the chocolate temperature come down so it isn’t so hot, but is still melted. 

When crumbling the cake, you didn’t crumble it into small enough pieces. You want the cake to be very crumbled so that it will fully combine into the frosting and become a uniform texture. That should roll into cake balls very easily and stay together really well. You shouldn’t have any issues with crumbling. 

While writing this blog post it occurred to me that I had no idea who invented cake pops. I mean, it’s definitely more of a recent “invention.” Well, apparently Angie Dudley invented cake pops. She obviously had a lot of time on her hands! 😂

Easy Brownie Cake Pops Recipe From Barbara Bakes

Easy to make and fun to decorate, cake pops make great edible gifts or party favors. They’re a cinch to customize with your favorite flavors and colors and are perfect for those moments when you just need a little taste of something sweet!

You can make cake pops with your favorite homemade cake recipe; however, there’s no shame in using a boxed cake mix here. Boxed cake mixtures produce a moist cake crumb that’s perfect for cake pops. You can also add in your favorite mix-ins to make it feel a little more “homemade” (we suggest mini chocolate chips or sprinkles for a confetti look).

The easiest way to make consistent, uniform cake balls is to use a measuring spoon. Depending on the size, you can get anywhere from 16 to 48 pops with one batch!

Chocolate Cake Pops (2 Ways!)

If your candy shell is cracking, it’s mostly due to an extreme change in temperature (cold cake balls being dipped into hot candy). This can also happen with hot candy or chocolate being put into a cold refrigerator or freezer.

How

To avoid cracking, let your cake balls warm up to room temperature a bit before dipping in warm candy or chocolate. Once dipped, let your cake pops sit at room temperature for 5 to 7 minutes before placing in the fridge or freezer so the candy has time to cool. 

To get that nice, smooth finish, try rolling your cake ball again to smooth out the sides before inserting the stick. We also suggest using EZ Thin to thin out your candy, making it the perfect consistency for dipping and dunking.

If your cake balls are falling off your treat stick, they could be too heavy due to size or adding too much frosting.

To help ensure your cake balls stay, be sure to dip the stick in melted candy before inserting it into the cake ball. This hardened candy coating acts as a glue to hold the stick in place.

When it comes to adding frosting to your cake, you want just enough to moisten it. This is especially important to keep in mind if you’re using a boxed cake mix, which is already pretty moist. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
