Why Are My Cake Pops Sweating?

Cake pops are a popular dessert that many home bakers enjoy making. However, you may wonder, why are my cake pops sweating?

When making cake pops, cake is crumbled up and mixed together with frosting. The cake and frosting mixture is then rolled up into bite-sized balls and set into the refrigerator to firm up.

TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR OWN CAKE POPS

When making your cake pops, don’t make them too big. Though it can be tempting to make jumbo cake pops, this isn’t a good idea. The lollipop stick won’t be able to support cake pops that are too big and they can break or fall off.

AVOID MAKING THEM TOO BIG

Before adding your stick to your cake pop, dip the tip of the stick in your candy melts or melted chocolate. Dipping will help the cake pop stay on the lollipop stick better.

DIP YOUR LOLLIPOP STICK

Before dipping your cake pops in candy melts or melted chocolate, you will want to let them firm up in the fridge first. Refrigerating the cake pops for two hours will help them hold their shape.

REFRIGERATE THE CAKE POPS

Before dipping, let the candy melts or melted chocolate cool before dipping. If the candy melts are too hot when you go to dip your cake pops, it can cause cracking.

LET THE CANDY MELTS COOL BEFORE DIPPING

Cake pops can be a great dessert to bake, no matter your baking experience. You can make them all sorts of flavors and decorate them in many different ways. Find out more tips and tricks in the link below.
