Please share pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1160875 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 14:31:14 +0000 LovelyPlum 1160875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, trying a version of this today...I think I may end up doing something closer to a truffle than a cake pop, but I'm still excited to do it. I'll post pics when I'm done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146519 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 07:56:16 +0000 Cole 1146519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have made them, it was fun but I definitely recommend a trial run, they have a bit of learning curve. Another option is doing Oreo cake balls, I think it is a pound of Oreo's minus eight cookies and a block of cream cheese thrown in the food processor together. They were easier for me to get to the right consistency and they taste amazing.</p> <p>Oh, and I found a small amount of coconut oil in my dipping chocolate made it much easier to keep at a good consistency! </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146416 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:22:02 +0000 lemondrop 1146416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nowhere near that talented- just wishing you good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146413 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:16:39 +0000 lepamplemousse 1146413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made them a couple of times before. I think Bakerella's recipe with a full cup of frosting is too sweet and the dough always turns out too sticky for me. My tip to make a less sweet version is to use a super moist cake mix and use just a couple of spoonfuls of a light (whipped) frosting from the can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146388 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:36:31 +0000 MaisyMay 1146388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made them with a box mix and they turned out really well. If you don't want to use homemade frosting, use the Wilton candy melts. When I used those for the outside, they had a great look and taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146344 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:30:15 +0000 shinymama 1146344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once with Bakerella's and they tasted great, but I made them too big, so they were heavy and had to be displayed upside down {like candied apples}. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146296 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:29:11 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1146296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done them a few times and I really recommend staying with a boxed cake mix and canned frosting because the consistency is usually the same. Unless you've done the a few times, it can be tricky using homemade cake or frosting. I started with Bakerella's recipe and they turned out great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146289 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:21:57 +0000 pui 1146289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't ever made them myself, but I second Bakerella!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146243 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 20:28:21 +0000 junebugmama 1146243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I make them all the time actually. I make them look like lego heads, so they get requested a lot from J1. I melt the frosting for about 10 sec in the microwave, and mix it into the cake when it's cooling. (sheet cake broken up by hand and probably a cup of frosting) Then I roll them, stick the sticks in and put them in the freezer for a little bit so when you dip them in the chocolate it hardens faster and doesn't rip the cake off of the stick </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146234 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 20:18:43 +0000 LovelyPlum 1146234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Thank you! I'd appreciate it. I'm not making them for a few weeks, so I have time :)</p> <p>@lioneyes: I'm nervous-thanks for the tips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146233 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 20:18:29 +0000 DigAPony 1146233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made them once and used a recipe from Bakerella. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bakerella.com/pops-bites/cake-pops/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bakerella.com/pops-bites/cake-pops/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146232 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 20:15:31 +0000 swedishfish 1146232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah, my sister makes them all the time but she just went on vacation! I'll ask her when she gets back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1146224 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 20:08:08 +0000 lioneyes 1146224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i tried- it did not work out. for next time i try it, a few tips i learned:<br /> -only put a little frosting in with the cake, too much messes it up<br /> - you can always put the cake in the freezer to harden it up<br /> -don't swirl the pop in the melted chocolate, just dip it<br /> good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-cake-pops#post-1144992 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 09:27:53 +0000 LovelyPlum 1144992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, do you have a good recipe to share? I need to make some for a wedding in a few weeks. I'm thinking red velvet, but I'm open to suggestions.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
