My daughter was home visiting and insisted we make the viral dot cake-Meh.
So I used leftover cake for the cake pops!
Cake pops were infinitely better than the dot cake!
I appreciate the detailed step by step instructions! Really was a breeze.
I brought the cake pops to a pickleball party and everyone was so impressed! Definitely a keeper!

In reply to Jill. Thank you, Jill! This means a lot to me as I've spent a lot of time making this tutorial super informative. As far as thinning the candy melts, I'd probably just opt for vegetable shortening or vegetable oil. Or you can switch to melted chocolate (bar, not chips) as that seems to be thinner in general. And a QUICK dip in the coating, no matter what you use.

There are so many cake pop recipes out there and I think this is the most “scientific” and accurate one I’ve seen yet. The notes are extremely helpful but personally, I would love to see a note on thinning the candy melts. I really don’t like a thick layer on the cake pop. Otherwise, this page is a one-stop-shop for making cake pops.

Do you have a link to the frosting you make for cake pops? Newby. Thanks! This is helpful.

How much frosting would you use for a box of cake? I saw that you said a box of cake can approximately make 60 and your recipe is for 20. So instead of 3 tablespoons you would do 9 tablespoons?

I followed the steps to make these cake pops but did chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and pink candy coating for Valentine’s Day and these came out ADORABLE. I made them for one daughters preschool class and one daughters daycare. My daughters daycare provider didn’t believe I made them and said she would pay me to make her some for the holidays! So if you want some professional looking cake pops look no further!!
