By Popular Demand: Cake Pops & Cake Truffles! I hope that you enjoy this video on making these adorable, sweet treats!
In this video, I'm using plain (undoctored) cake from a cake mix. As mentioned in the video, the proportions of cake to frosting that I used were: 1 8" cake layer (½ of a cake mix) to 4 T frosting. This may vary depending on the kind of cake you are using.
For the chocolate coating: 4 T shortening combined with 14 oz. candy melts. Adjust to your liking!
Hi how can you keep your cake pops from sliding off the stick . I made some for a party and as they sat they started sliding down the stick
Hi, I have to make 250 cake pops and I'd like to ask is how long in between making the and eating or serving them. My retreat is Sept. 23 and I'd like them to be fresh when the ladies receive them.
This is the first time I've make them and would like to know if they need to be refrigerated after being made.
Thank you so much
Hi Cari, We don't make them often but we do refrigerate after they are made. The longest we have kept them is 3 days before eating. They possibly could be fine the 4 day, but we have not tested that. If this is your first time making them a test run would be good. Here are 2 links to other sites that give good suggestions for making cake pops. I hope you will find them helpful.

I want to make this cake pops in may and the temperature will be at around 100 degrees, will they be ok outdoors?
Hi I have taught candy classes we used veg oil for thinning our choc before. It worked good but not sure on candy melts, but think it would work great also..I love all your classes watch them many times for learning. They have taught me so much and your teaching is so easy to follow. Thk you both very much Melissa you are a wonderful teacher.
Hi thx for the recipe . Our cake pops turned out great.
Hi Ambreen, Your cake pops look wonderful, thanks for posting your picture!!
How can I prevent them from cracking? Can the candy melts be kept and re used?
Thank you
Hi Analia, You can have a problem with cracking when the cake pops are too cold when dipped. Below is a link that I think you will find helpful
