Making cake pops is all fun and games until you find yourself facing the biggest challenge: stopping them from falling off their sticks. This is the trickiest part of making this trendy dessert, and there are a couple of steps you can make to help your cake pops stick properly.
Right Size
The “go big or go home” approach simply doesn’t work with cake pops. The smaller they are, the easier it is for them to stay on the sticks, which is why you should keep them at around 1.25 inches wide.
Stick Dip
Before putting your sticks inside the pops, you should consider dipping them into the candy coating. This hack will help them stick better to ice pops because candy coating acts like glue.
Stirring Mistake
A lot of people tend to coat their cake pops by stirring them, but this is completely unnecessary. This movement puts too much pressure on the sticks, and it’s much better to simply tilt your pops in both directions.
Extra Coating
After dipping your cake pops into candy coating, you’ll have to be extremely gentle when removing the excess coating because your pops may fall off if you make quick movements.
