- Bake the cake in the silicone cake pop mold the day before, and let it cool overnight. Then just dip and decorate the following day.
- Use a toothpick to encourage the coating to cover any small exposed areas or to make sure it surrounds the cake pop stick.
- Make sure the cake balls are chilled and firm when you dip them. If they are room temperature, they are likely to fall off the cake pop sticks into the melted candy coating. You can always place them back in the freezer for a few minutes to quickly firm them up again.
- Poke holes in a Styrofoam block before you start dipping. Just use one of the cake pop sticks to make holes about 2 inches apart.
- For fun, experiment with different colors of candy coating and drizzle pops with a second color to decorate.
