I got the idea from Bakerella, who is a genius with cake pops. I have made cake pops several times, and there is some trial and error. This book is full of great tips and advice for making the perfect cake pops. I almost always end up referring to it, or calling my friend who makes them regularly to figure out what I am doing wrong.
My tips:
- Do not let your chocolate over heat. If you overheat, add some shortening to get back to the desired consistency.
- Refrigerate your cake balls or freeze them before dipping them, that way they will stay on the stick, and coat more evenly. It will also help keep the chocolates from melting when you redip them.
- Be patient. This takes time, but they turn out very cute.
