Dipping cake pops can be tricky, but don’t fret! Here’s some tips for coating cake pops like a pro.
Hold the cake pop upside down and dunk, in one motion, into the coating until you see the coating cover the entire ball and meet the stick. Then lift up to remove from the coating.
Let the excess coating drip back into the bowl using an up and down motion with your arm. Turn it right side up. Using your fingers on the stick, rotate the cake pop at an angle. This helps the coating even itself out.
Use a toothpick to help guide any excess coating off the cake pop near the stick if needed. You can also use a toothpick to puncture any noticeable air bubbles in the coating.
Stick in a stand or Styrofoam block. Now, let it dry and harden completely.
