How do you keep cake pops from falling off the stick?

Hardened candy coating acts as glue so it can be very helpful in preventing your cake pops from falling off the sticks. Before inserting your sticks into your chilled cake balls, dip the end of each stick into candy coating. I suggest inserting the stick about half way into the cake ball.

Why are my cake pops dripping oil?

My Cake Pops are LEAKING CAKE/OIL! This happens when the cake is pushing it's way out of the coating through a weak spot, a tiny hole, or a bubble that resulted in a hole. ... If this happens, remember, you can always substitute apple sauce or greek yogurt for oil in your cake recipe! Using less frosting = less oil.

Why are my cake pops cracking when I roll them?

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.
