Hey , do you wanna learn how to make some cake pops ?
I'm gonna give you all the tips and tricks on how to make the perfect cake pops .
Let's get started .
Hey there .
Welcome to my channel .
My name is Britney .
I'm gonna be the one showing you guys how to make these cake pops .
So I'm going to use fun feti cake and I just follow the instructions on the box , but I also add milk instead of water .
I also like to add an extra egg than what it requires on the box and that helps it taste even better .
Ok ?
So now I'm going to line the pan with parchment paper and this was a really cool hack because I was able to use all of the cake instead of cutting out the edges like I did in the last video .
And this way , I was able to get about three more cake pops than usual .
So I really recommend that trick .
Ok .
So I baked the cake for the recommended time and now I'm going to remove the cake from the cake pan and then we're going to crumble it up into little pieces .
Ok ?
So now that the cake is evenly crumbled , we're going to add in about 3/4 of the container of frosting and start with that .
And we just wanna make sure this is a good consistency to form a cake ball .
If it's kind of falling apart , you're gonna wanna add a little bit more frosting .
OK .
So this is a perfect example of how it should look to know when you're ready to start forming the cake balls .
So I like to use this tool to form the cake balls .
I like it because it helps me keep the balls the same size .
And so I add extra cake mix and then take out the excess .
So once that step is completed , I like to take the ball out and then reroll it .
This helps it not fall apart .
Um When I use it the way I'm supposed to use it , the ball would just fall apart when I'm dipping it .
So this helps it stay nice and firm .
OK ?
So now it's time to add the sticks to the cake pops .
And I just went ahead and added some candy melts to a bowl and microwave it for about 30 seconds to a minute .
So now you're going to dip your stick in the candy melts and then go ahead and place it in the cake pop and I like to wipe off the excess candy melt .
So it doesn't change the shape of the cake pop .
OK .
So here , I have candy melts and I'm going to mix these two colors together to make a pretty pink color .
So I like to add a pot of water on the stove and then add a cake pan inside the pot to melt the candy melts .
I like to do it this way rather than in the microwave because it's more consistent .
And I feel like when I put them in the microwave , it can overheat the candy melts .
And then once you overheat the candy melts , you can't use them anymore .
So this uh technique has been the most successful way to melt down the candy melts .
OK .
So now I need to thin out the candy melts because it's super thick .
And if I were to dip the cake pop in here , it would just fall off .
So I like to use vegetable oil .
I've heard you can use like coconut oil or whatever kind of oil you want to use .
I like to use the vegetable oil .
It still tastes really good .
So I like to pour a little bit in there and just start to thin out the candy melts um to get the perfect consistency .
This is a perfect example of how the candy melt consistency should look .
OK .
So I had the cake pops inside the fridge and I took them out about 10 minutes before I was going to dip them .
And that is because if they're too cold , um and you place them inside hot candy melts , they will start to crack .
And so you don't want the cake pops to be too cold .
And you also don't want the candy melts to be too hot .
So let the candy melts cool down a little bit and let the cake pops get a little bit room temperature .
Not too much because then they'll start falling off , but just the right amount and then that will avoid a lot of cracking with your cake pops .
So now I'm going to dip the cake pops and then I just wanted to add some sprinkles on top .
Ok .
So now I'm going to make the flowers with premade Fonda .
I bought it at a cake decorating supply store and I'm also using powdered sugar down so it doesn't stick .
And then I'm going to use this cutout that I found at that store as well .
Um I bought two different options because I just wanted to make sure I put the cutest flower on the cake pop .
And this one was ok .
It was , it was cute .
But this one here I found at Hobby Lobby and it also has another tool where it gives you the textured look .
And so this was super easy , super cute .
I couldn't believe how cute these flowers came out and they looked really good .
So I went with that option .
I just wanted to add that .
This was my first time ever working with Fonda and this was super , super easy .
So if you think , oh my God Fonda , like that's scary .
That's what I thought at first .
But when I started to use this , I'm like , whoa , why is it so easy ?
And I think it also was because I bought the premade Fonda .
So I had this cake pot holder here at the house .
So I just thought , why not use it ?
So I went ahead and added the flowers inside and then that helps keep its shape .
But if you don't have one of these , it's ok , you can just turn your flower over facing down and then it still kept it shaped that way as well .
Ok .
So now I'm going to spray some flowers with some edible gold and I'm going to place these on the white cake pops .
Yeah .
Now I'm going to dip the white cake pops and add on the gold flour .
I recommend dipping about three cake pops at a time and then going back and adding the gold flour just so they dry a little bit and they're not sliding off .
So , since I have the pink cake pops ready , I'm going to go ahead and add on the flour .
So I'm just using some candy melts in a piping bag and attaching the flour .
Ok .
So I felt like these cake pops needed a little something more .
So I bought this edible gold glitter and this pump and I'm just gonna go ahead and spray a little bit of glitter on top , on the flower and the top of the cake pop .
And then I also bought edible gold beads and I'm gonna add that in the middle of the flower and this came out so cute .
So I just wanted to mention that I found the glitter , the beads and the spray pump at a local cake supply store in my area and just look how pretty that turned out like the glitter and the gold and it just looks really , really good .
Perfect for a wedding bridal shower or any event .
And this is how the cake pops turned out .
They matched the bridal shower perfectly and everyone loved them .
Ok , so now I'm gonna show you guys how I package the cake pops .
I put them in the three inch bag and then I'm going to tie them with the bow with some twine .
So here are all the cake pops I made um each box gave me about 30 cake pops .
So I had about 60 .
I had some that didn't make the cut and that always happens .
So it's always good to have extra and I ended up with 52 cake pops .
So I gave all of those to her and yeah , everyone loved them .
They came out good .
They looked perfect at the dessert table .
