How do you make cake pops not fall off when dipping?
If your cake balls are falling off your treat stick, they could be too heavy due to size or adding too much frosting. To help ensure your cake balls stay, be sure to dip the stick in melted candy before inserting it into the cake ball. This hardened candy coating acts as a glue to hold the stick in place.
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! Remember to keep the consistency like play dough, so definitely not too dry, or too thin. What a bummer, your cake pops fall apart because it seems that you are not using enough frosting.
Why are my cake pops breaking when I dip 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.
Why are my cake pops oozing?
My cake pops are leaking oil/ cake. This can happen when there is too much oil in your cake ball mixture or if there are air bubbles in the chocolate. Just wipe the residue off & seal up any holes with a bit of melted chocolate.

What happens if you add too much frosting to cake pops?
Solution: Too much icing makes cake pops mushy and gives the truffles a grainy texture. I don’t like them, so I substitute the frosting with a creamy smooth ganache to bind the cake crumble. The end result is luxurious without the grainy texture.
Can I use paper straws for cake pops?
Sticks And Straws I also love to use paper straws to spruce up my cake pops.
