Can I use royal icing to decorate cake pops?

You can add sprinkles at this point, if you want your cake pop to be covered in sprinkles. Keep a Styrofoam block ready to keep the cake pop upright. It will set in about 5 minutes. After it sets, you can use royal icing to make decorations on the cake pop.

What do I do if my cake pops are too moist?

Refrigerating your cake balls/pops can cause condensation on the coating and this moisture will cause the coating to become sticky. Store them in a cool, dry place and they should be fine!

Why do my cake pops keep cracking?

The most common reason why cake pops crack is because the temperature of the cake ball and the frosting you applied to it was too great. More often than not, the coating will have been too hot and the cake ball will have been too cold, although vice versa can happen.

Can you freeze cake pops before dipping?

Place the pre-made cake pop shapes in an airtight container and place them in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month. When you are ready to finish the cake pops, adding the lollipop stick and dipping them in the melted chocolate, simply take them out of the container and start dipping!

Should I Melt chocolate with butter?

Melt Chocolate with Liquids Method: Chocolate can be safely melted with a small amount of liquid, such as milk, cream, butter, or alcohol if they are placed in the pan or bowl together (the same time). Cold liquids should never be added to melted chocolate, as they can cause the chocolate to seize.
