Frequently Asked Questions – Cake Pops

Why did my candy coating crack?

If you leave your cake balls in the freezer too long and don’t let them warm up a bit, the drastic change in temperature can cause the candy to crack as it melts.

Why are my cake balls crumbly?

If you find that your cake ball is too crumbly, you can always frost your cake mix. Add about 1 tbsp of frosting at a time until desired. Best to mix your cake mix when hot so you won’t need frosting!
