Angie Dudley, aka Bakerella, invented cake pops, which she popularized through her blog in 2011. Since then, they’ve become a worldwide phenomenon, and it’s not hard to see why. They’re portable; you can make a ton of them using the smallest amount of cake mix, and you don’t have to worry about baking a perfect cake because they’re made up of crumbs squished together. Plus, they’re adorable to look at. They’re an excellent party favor if you’re throwing a baby shower or a child’s birthday party.
Decorating cake pops is really all a matter of getting the dip to work with you and not against you. If you stick your pop straight into the bowl to immerse it in glaze, the sticky candy or frosting can latch onto the cake ball and pull it off the stick. This is because your entire cake pop is immersed in the glaze, making it harder to remove from the bowl. However, if you tip the bowl to the side, roll your pop through the glaze at an angle, and then shake off the excess, it won’t ever be totally submerged, and you’ll get an even coating all the way around.
@mainstreetsweets_frisco if you struggle with your cake pops falling off your stick, this may be a good “dipping†method to try out! #cakepops #cakepopdipping #fyp #foryou
