How do you get the cake pop to stay on the stick?
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.
How long should cake pops chill before dipping?
Place balls on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour. Re-roll the chilled balls to smooth out, if needed. Place back into the fridge as you’ll only work with a couple at a time.
Why does my cake pop fall off the stick?
Going overboard can cause your cake balls to fall of the sticks. The best rule of thumb is to start out with a small amount of icing and slowly add more until your mix reaches the consistency of clay. In my basic cake pop recipes, I use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of frosting.
Why are my cake pops not rising?
Typically, this is caused by the difference in temperature of the coating and the cake ball itself – the coating is hot and the cake balls are too cold, the cake ball expands, and now you have cracks.
Can cake pops sit out overnight?
Storing Cake Pops at Room Temperature After you have made your cake pops completely, dipping and decorating them to perfection, you can simply leave them at room temperature for 1-2 days. Cake pops will actually look the best (with no chance of condensation forming on the chocolate) when they are kept at room temp.
Why are my cake pops not drying?
If your cake pops are not round enough, you either used not enough frosting (cake ball won’t stick together) or way too much!

What is the best chocolate to melt for cake pops?
Chocolate: You can use candy coating/candy melts, almond bark, or pure semi-sweet chocolate. If using almond bark or pure chocolate, chop it up before melting. Melt it down with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil to thin out so it’s easier to use as a coating. Bittersweet, white chocolate, or milk chocolate work as well.
