You can prevent cracking by NOT freezing the cake pops. This can also happen if you’re refrigerating them and your refrigerator is too cold. If your cake pops are cracking and you haven’t done either of these things, most likely you’re rolling your cake too tightly/densely. Try easing up on the pressure when you roll them.

@AsiaCoffee 4 ай бұрын
You’re sitting the cake balls on a flat surface (plate, sheet pan or cake board) before placing them in the fridge to set, so you’ll automatically have a flatter side. I recommend inserting the pop stick into this flatter side. The bottom of the cake pops (where the stick goes) will be slightly flatter, but it should not be extreme. I hope this helps! 💕

@AsiaCoffee 3 жыл бұрын
When this happens, all you can really do is wipe off the oil. Excessive oil/butter in your cake and/or adding too much icing to your cake during the "doughing" process *plus* not coating the cake pop completely (especially leaving any kind of hole around the stick) could be the issue. Try modifying these things next time and let us know how that works out for you. Thanks for watching!

@AsiaCoffee 2 жыл бұрын
Oh no, so sorry to hear this… 😞If the cake is too moist, you can try NOT adding any icing to the crumbs. You can also lay the unrolled crumbs out on a cookie sheet to dry out a bit; maybe about 45 minutes or so. If you’ve already rolled them and they’re still really moist, you may (unfortunately) need to start over. If you’re running low on time and just can’t start again at this point, consider ditching the stick and make them into cake balls/truffles instead. Best of luck to you! Sending positive vibes 🤗

@AsiaCoffee 3 жыл бұрын
No, not after dipping them completely. You may place them in the refrigerator after inserting the sticks dipped in coating to better secure the sticks before the “final dip”. Refrigerating them immediately after dipping in an effort to harden the chocolate faster may cause the coating/chocolate to develop a grayish film (referred to as bloom). It’s best to allow your cake pops to harden at room temp. Placing them in a cool refrigerator is fine after they’ve hardened at room temperature. Thanks for watching!

@AsiaCoffee 3 жыл бұрын
I'm so sorry to hear that your cake pops didn't work out.... The best way to prevent those issues is to dip your pop stick into the coating and insert it into the cake ball while twisting slight. Humidity plays a role as well. If the humidity is too high (too much moisture in the air), it will take longer for the candy coating to dry. Perhaps the coating had not fully dried to create a bond between the cake ball and stick before you dipped them? If it seems that it's taking too long to dry, I would recommend placing them in the refrigerator for about 8-10 minutes. Do this only at the "stick placement" stage. To prevent "bloom" (especially if you're using a darker color), I recommend that you let your cake pops air dry after they've been dipped. Also, your cake balls may have had too much or too little icing; preventing them from holding their shape. They should not be soggy or so dry that they crumble in your hand. Best of luck on your next cake pop project!

@@AsiaCoffee I dipped my sticks in the chocolate 1st, but when I inserted it, the cake balls crumbled! Does that mean I need more icing in it???

Yes, it sounds like they are too dry and require a bit more icing. Re-watch the part of the video where I compare “crumbled cake only” with “crumbled cake with the proper amount of icing”. Make sure that the mixture clumps easily when you squeeze it in your hands. I show this in the video as well. Also try applying a little more pressure as you roll to form the cake balls.

You never said why the cakepop breaks? 🤔
@AsiaCoffee 2 жыл бұрын
It’s usually a result of thermal shock from freezing the cake pop. It can also happen when you roll the cake ball too tight and immediately dip it. The coating will crack after it’s dried/set and the cake inside expands. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

I’ve had terrible luck making cake pops. I’ve seen tutorials where they’re put them in the fridge for 10 min after inserting the stick then dipping.
@AsiaCoffee 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can do that to secure the stick to the cake ball faster. You just have to be careful that the cake pop is not *cold* when you go to dip it. *Make sure that your refrigerator isn't too cold during that 10 minutes. Otherwise the coating will cease up as you're shaking the excess coating from the cake pop.* Best of luck on your next cake pop project! Thanks for watching!

@8:15 way too much candy coating ending up on a paper towel
@AsiaCoffee Жыл бұрын
That wasn’t much coating in my opinion, but I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! If waste is a concern, one can drizzle 1) Over a bowl or 2) Over parchment paper to save the coating (especially if dozens of cake pops are being made). Thanks for watching!

I am deeply frustrated by creators who withhold crucial information in their tutorials on cake pops. They often omit key ingredients or steps, leaving viewers lost and unable to complete the recipe successfully. Incomplete or poorly explained instructions hinder my ability to achieve the desired result and waste precious time and resources.

@@AsiaCoffee When the pops come out of the refrigerator cold do I begin putting into the chocolate or wait until they become room temp?
@AsiaCoffee Ай бұрын
@@Scorpio.Iamher. No, you should NOT dip them cold straight from the refrigerator. This will cause the coating to seize up as you’re dipping and tapping off the excess coating. The cake pops may be cool, but not completely room temperature OR cold, when dipped. The only time I recommend a cake pop to be cold during this process is AFTER the cake ball has been formed and RIGHT BEFORE a partially coated stick is inserted. The coldness of the cake ball will help solidify the coating and hold it in place. I hope this makes sense and helps!

@@Scorpio.Iamher. I want to say a couple of things regarding your original comment. First, this video is NOT a full tutorial. The intention of this video was to offer some troubleshooting tips for those who are struggling with specific parts of the cake pop making progress; not to take anyone through the process of making cake pops from start to finish. Second, as a fellow Creator, I would have expected a little more grace. I actively respond to the comments on my videos. You could have simply posed the question and waited for a response rather than trying to slam this video with your original comment. I would have responded the same. How would you feel/respond if someone posted that comment to one of your videos? Do unto others…

Why did my cake pop ooze or leak? To much frosting?

Most likely a combination of too much icing and not coating the cake pop completely; leaving a hole at the bottom by the stick. Thanks for watching!

@@megmaran5194 I would start with 1/2 teaspoon. It’s not an exact science, so you make need to add another 1/2 teaspoon. The point I want to emphasize is that you don’t need to put 1/2 a canister of frosting into your cake crumbs. That’s way too much and would make your dough too soggy to hold its shape. 😉
