Cake Pops and Cake Truffles- Video Tutorial
By Popular Demand: Cake Pops & Cake Truffles! I hope that you enjoy this video on making these adorable, sweet treats!
In this video, I'm using plain (undoctored) cake from a cake mix. As mentioned in the video, the proportions of cake to frosting that I used were: 1 8" cake layer (½ of a cake mix) to 4 T frosting. This may vary depending on the kind of cake you are using.
For the chocolate coating: 4 T shortening combined with 14 oz. candy melts. Adjust to your liking!
OK! Thank you :) I used store bought for both on the pops I just made...mainly because I wasn't sure (I posted a picture in the members gallery). I will definitely use homemade butter cream from now on....it's so much better!
Dera Melissa,
I'm a new member of my cake sachola, and I'm really enjoying your tutorials!
I live IN Brazil, and we don't know some of your ingredientes... : (
On your pop cake You put at The crumbled cake, something that you called frosting. What's it? Can I substitut for other thing? We don't have "frosting" in our country...
And what about The shortering that you put in The candy melt? What's it?
My new oven will be installed tomorrow and I can't wait to make something different for my family...
Best regards
Alba Miele
Hi Alba,
Frosting is "glace" you to cover cakes.
Shortening is "gordura vegetal"
Candy melts is just chocolate that you usually use to cover strawberries, "bombons" or "docinhos".
you can use google translation for ingredients.
Hope it helped.
Hi Melissa, would a frosting with some cream cheese in it be ok to use to bind the cake crumbs? and how would you store the cake pops after covering them? thank you for this video :)
Hello, how long did you leave them in the freezer for?
Hi Elena, they are not in the freezer very long........just until they firm up. If you dip them in the chocolate when they are frozen the chocolate coating will develop cracks
Thank thank thank you I have almost given up on cake pops I work so hard today on pumpkin shaped ones and went to dip used Wilton and also tried bark all too thick I gave up an just dipped in the candy
coating and add ed sprinkles and put in small cupcake wrapper
Has anyone wrapped and frozen dipped cake balls to use later? Easy to follow tutorial ! Thank-you
Hi,
Just wondering if I can pour the left over chocolate on some baking paper and let it go hard and store it, then re-heat another time?
Excellent, excellent tutorials!
