How To Make Cake Pops With A Mould

How to Make Cake Pops or Cake Balls Three Ways: Traditionally cake pops are made with crumbled cake. I’ll show you how to make the traditional homemade cake pop along with using a silicone mold and donut holes. Cake pops are the perfect little party treat. They can either be placed on a stick or sitting on a tray as cake balls. These easy to make party treats and can be made in advance. Scroll down for all the details with a lot of helpful tips.

You can make a homemade cake, but there is no shame in using a boxed cake mix. For added flavor and to create a more dense cake pop try adding a small package (3.4 ounce) of pudding mix to the cake batter.

I have two favorite ways of protecting the cake pops while the candy is drying. 1. STYROFOAM: Using the same size lollipop stick as the cake pops, make holes a few inches apart in the styrofoam. This will make placing the wet cake pops easier then having to make holes while the cake pops are wet. 2. RICE: Pouring rice into a container that is as deep as the cake pops (with the sticks) and wide enough to hold several will keep cake pops from falling over while drying.

Melting pots from Wilton make candy making so easy. You can keep 1 or two colors warm at the same time. The insert comes out so you can also keep piping bags with melted candy warm.

CAKE BALLS (NO COATING): The cake mixture can be prepared a couple days in advance and kept in the refrigerator until ready to use. You can even form the cake balls a day ahead and let them chill in the refrigerator for easier dipping. If you want to prep your cake balls and freeze them, store them in a large freezer bag. They can be kept frozen up to 6 weeks. Let your cake balls come to room temperature before dipping. ***SEE BELOW WHY CAKE POPS CRACK***

COATED CAKE POPS OR CAKE BALLS: Dipped cake pops decorated with Candy Melts can be stored at room temperature for a week. If you use white or dark chocolate, store them in the refrigerator so the chocolate doesn’t melt.

FREEZING CAKE POPS: Once the cake pops are dry, place the decorated cake pops in a freezer safe zip top bag. They will stay fresh up to 6 weeks. When ready to use let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Making cake pops or cake balls just got even easier! Instead of baking a cake, adding frosting to the crumbs, molding the mixture into balls….use a silicone cake pop mold! MAKES 72 1½ INCH CAKE POPS

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. 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 refrigerator or freezer so the candy has time to cool.

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. If you think you’ve added too much frosting, add a little more cake to help even out the texture.

Melt candy as directed in the Cake Pop instructions, dip stick into the melted candy and insert into the donut hole. Let the candy harden.

Dip the donut hole in melted candy, add toppings and place in a styrofoam board to harden or on a flat surface lined with parchment paper if laying them top side down.

Think outside of the box and be creative….anything that has an end that can be inserted will work. You could use a fork, appetizer pick, sucker stick, popsicle stick, pencil with a special cake pop insert or decorative sticks for each holiday.

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.

While cake balls are setting, melt Candy Melts candy according to package instructions. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted candy, then into set cake balls. Repeat with all cake balls, then let chill again until set, about 10 minutes. Reserve remaining melted candy. Dip cake pops, one at a time, into remaining melted candy. Tap lightly to remove excess. If needed, you can reheat the candy with some EZ Thin Dipping Aid or vegetable shortening to thin it out for easier dipping. Immediately cover with sprinkles or topping of choice, then transfer to craft foam. Repeat with remaining cake pops. Chill until set, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Hello, I'm Sheryl and welcome to Lady Behind the Curtain. Here you will find a mixture of easy everyday recipes, party ideas and party treats. Along with lots of tips and tricks for easy entertaining.Cakesicles are a fun twist on a traditional cake pop. Crafted in popsicle molds, cakesicles are an easy-to-make version of the ever-popular treat with a chocolate shell surrounding a blend of cake and frosting.

If you have ever struggled to dip a cake pop or had them crack or fall off the stick, you are going to be so happy to discover the cakesicle.

How To Make Cake Pops The Easy Way

Unlike a cake pop, which is made by rolling a cake and frosting combo into a ball (or another shape) and then dipping it in chocolate or candy melts, a cakesicle is created by painting the chocolate into a popsicle mold, then filling the hardened candy shell with the cake/frosting mixture.

The candy shell is thick enough that it won't crack but thin enough to bite into. It's also smooth and shiny and perfectly shaped.

Be sure to watch the How to make Cakesicles Video. If it's not shown below it will be either at the top of the post or in the sidebar.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make cakesicles using white chocolate or white candy melts. You can use the technique to create dark or milk chocolate cakesicles too.

You can simply add a drizzle of chocolate or colored candy melts to add a festive touch. Christmas cakesicles drizzled with red and green candy melts or birthday cakesicles topped with rainbow sprinkles make fun desserts, party favors, or gifts.

You'll notice in the recipe and video that I didn't add oil to the cake mix. I wanted to experiment with this, as so many people complain about having oily cake pops.

How To Make Cake Pops Or Cake Balls Three Ways

The cake baked without oil baked up beautifully and was only slightly dryer than a cake baked with oil. Once the frosting was mixed in you couldn't even tell the difference in flavor, but the filling was not greasy at all.

You don't have to dip these so it won't matter if the cake ball filling is soft. That's one of the benefits of this method of making cake balls.

You'll notice in the video below that I only crumbled one cake and added a few tablespoons of frosting. This recipe will make about 48 cakesicles with ½ ounce of filling in each. I didn't need that many, so I used one of my 8-inch round cakes for another purpose. The picture above shows the full amount of frosting and a whole cake.

You can use melted and tempered pure chocolate or melted compound chocolate (confectionery coating). I've shared detailed information regarding the differences between the two on my Chocolate Making Tips page but here's a short recap.

You need to heat your confectionery coating so that it registers between 100° and 120° Fahrenheit. If you get it too hot, it will thicken and may burn.

You will need some silicone popsicle molds to make your cakesicles. You can find molds that have popsicle cavities that are 1 ½ - 2 inches wide, 2 ½ - 3 ½ inches long, and ½ - 1 inch deep.

*If using confectionery coating and painting into a larger, 10-cavity silicone popsicle moldjust paint 5 of the cavities, then chill, then repeat with the remaining cavities. If your candy dries at room temperature it may streak.

NOTE: You may see some of the darker chocolate cake through the white chocolate on top, but as long as the candy is at least 1/16 of an inch thick over the top of the filling, the cake filling won't come
