BAKING ESSENTIALS:
I never knew you shouldn’t use store bought frosting. I also seemed to never get them cool enough because they’d constantly fall off the stick when trying to coat them. Thank you for making this video, this was really helpful!

My Betty Crocker Vanilla Cake Box Mix is 375g, which is smaller than your than 540g. My Cake Box also calls for 1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil instead of butter, so do I STILL add the additional 1/4 Cup of Vegetable Oil?

I don't bake. As in, I baked my first cake when I attempted this recipe. We did this for my daughter's cake sale, and the pops came out amazing! Minor cracks here and there, but we decided they were just smiling back.

Love your recipes. But for pop cakes, I would like to use my cake mixture. Personally, don't use a cake box mix. But I do like not to use buttercream as a binder. What else can I do instead? Plus, is there any way to use one batch but divide it into four and flavour each batch differently? Last question: can I favour and use natural colours for the chocolate coating? Thanks 😊

I NEVER made cakepops before. Watched this Video and made them. They came out great. Mine ended up a little bit on the bigger side (instead of 40 I got 26) but they stayed on the stick like Champs. Thank you. You explained it wonderfully 🎉
@berrinpettinger3782I thought they would crack if pops were cold and choc warm?
@JuliankhaBut if oil or butter are used in cake mix, it seeps from your cake pops. Using applesauce is better than oil or butter.
@anitalusk3165Why cake pop so mushy
@RainorShine1You did such a great job explaining! Thanks for the recipe.
@doreenfingerle6966are you Muslim or Jewish?, i'm not judging just curious
@CheyennePerez-m2lI done everything you said, weighed everything. My frosting wasn't thick like yours after the 4 minutes so kept mixing for like another 4 mins and was still slightly watery??? Also mine didn't stay on the sticks???

My cakepops always fall off as I'm dipping them. Now I know to freeze them. Also I can never get the chocolate melts smooth consistency.

@Jewel-jewjewStuck mine in the freezer for 10 mins and tried to roll them a second time and they were cracking? Why would they do this?
@MiriamThompson-v1dI want to try it but my mom sed when we go to the mall if we see cake pops we will by it
@gleszgirlHey MK thanks so much for this tip. I’m a small business baker and though I’ve been baking for a long time cake pops have always freaked me out but a good friend asked me to make some for her moms birthday so I said yes and I fell much better after having watched your video😊🎉. Thanks for always breaking the myths that have been created by the baking industry. I’ve learned a lot from you🙏🏻
@timstanlake2811I like your tricks to get them round and similar in size. Thank you for this tutorial.
