Frequently asked questions about cake pops.
A cake pop is intended to be like a cake and a lollipop.
That is, cake+lollipop= cake pop.
Cake pops look like a golf ball sized ball on a stick. That ball is made with cake, or cake-like batter, and then covered with chocolate and other toppings.
1️⃣ Set the center or ball ingredients well, refrigerating or freezing helps.
2️⃣ When sticking the stick into the ball, do not stick in too far.
3️⃣ Allow the cake balls to fully set before serving them.
Tips for making great cake pops.
The easiest way to crush the cookies is to use a food processor. However, you can also place the cookies in a sealed zip top bag and roll a rolling pin over the bag to crush the cookies too.
More tips for you
- If the dough gets sticky when you are rolling out the cake pop balls you can refrigerate them for a few minutes to harden up a bit. Another option is to spray a bit of nonstick on the scoop or your hands
- Make your cake pops into truffles. Simply omit the pop stick and serve them
- These cake pops can actually be frozen and enjoyed later. I like to freeze cake pops without the coating and then coat them before serving them. This helps to prevent the pops from cracking or getting messed up.
- Crumbled cake is used to make these cake pops. Since the cake does not have pretty, look for a discounted cake that can work instead.
