Handy Tips
Tips for decorating your
cake pops
There are many, many ways to
decorate your Little Chefs cake pops
and we encourage you to be creative.
Below are a few handy hints to make
your cake pop decorating easier.
• It is easier to decorate your cake
pops if they have a good base
covering. It also is needed for
ingredients such as ‘hundreds
and thousands’ or crushed nuts
to adhere to the cake pops.
• As a yummy base, we
recommend using chocolate
melts which you can find in your
local supermarket in the baking
section. Place the chocolate
melts in the microwave and follow
the instructions listed on the pack.
• Adding a little vegetable oil to
the melted chocolate will help to
keep the chocolate fluid for easier
decorating of your cake pops. It
will also give the cake pop a nice,
glossy finish when they are dry.
• If the chocolate seems too thin
on the cake pop, this could mean
that the melted chocolate is too
hot and needs to cool down a
bit. Too-thin chocolate will take
longer to dry, may allow the base
cake to show through and cause
the decorations to slide off. Please
also be aware that if the melted
chocolate is too thin, it may drip
off the cake pop and could scald.
• For a nice finish to your cake
pop, once your cake pops have
cooled somewhat and the cake
pop stick has been inserted, hold
the cake pop by the stick over
the melted chocolate bowl and
drizzle melted chocolate over the
cake pop with a spoon until it is
fully covered. Dipping your cake
pop into the chocolate may give
you a uneven finish and may be
too heavy causing the cake pop
to break apart.
• To decorate you cake pop with
sugar (or cinnamon sugar), we
recommend using a base of
melted butter. Use a pastry brush
to brush melted butter on to the
cake pop, then roll in the sugar.
NOTE:
Cake pops are becoming
very popular around the world
and there are a lot of great cake
pop decorating ideas available
on the World Wide Web.
