CAKE POPS SUPPLIES
Lollipop sticks
Styrofoam form to stand pops
1. To prepare cake pops: Dip sticks into the melted candy or chips before
inserting them into the cake pop. This will help to hold pops into place.
2. Stand the cake pops in a styrofoam form to keep them from touching.
Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before decorating.
3. When you are ready to dip, take pops out of the refrigerator no more
than 5 at a time.
4. Frost cake pops or donut holes with your favorite frosting or
combination of frostings. Then roll into toppings of your choice or press
candies or nuts into coating.
5. If you are using liqueed candy melts or chips as the rst covering:
• Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 cup candy melts or any
chocolate or avored baking chips for 1 minute. Stir well. Microwave for
an additional 15 seconds, if necessary.
NOTE: A double-boiler or a pan over boiling water can also be used.
• If needed, add a splash of milk to chips before heating to thin dipping
mixture.
• Dip pops or donut holes into the bowl, swirl cakes in the dipping mixture
until it is covered. Use a teaspoon to help drip candy over the cake. Work
quickly as the chocolate will begin to get lumpy as it hardens.
• Roll cake into toppings of your choice or press candies or nuts into wet
coating.
HINT: When using melted white chocolate as the rst coating, put
some aside to use as a colored drizzle. Melt chocolate and add GEL
food coloring until the desired color is achieved. Decorate using colored
chocolate in a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped.
IMPORTANT: Never use liquid food coloring as it will harden
immediately and ruin the chocolate.
6. If you are using jam, jelly, preserves or honey:
• Place in microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH power for 10 seconds.
• Brush pops or donut holes with melted fruit.
• Roll or dip cakes into toppings of your choice.
