About the Cake:
Bake the cake the day before, and let it cool overnight. Then form balls the following day; refrigerating them over night
Make pops following day
Other Tips
Use toothpick to encourage coating to cover exposed areas
Make sure cake balls are chilled and firm when dipping; if at room temperature, they will fall off sticks into candy coating
The thinner the consistency of your coating, the easier it will be to coat cake pops; add some vegetable oil or paramount crystals to thin it
Poke holes in Styrofoam block 2 inches apart before dipping
Skin Colour
For 24 pops, 200 white melts, 3-5 pink melts and 2-3 orange melts will be perfect and do them all; I added brown which was definitely a mistake
Wilton Hair Flowers
These can be found in all colours here and in white, as used in these cake pops, here.
