How Do You Make Cake Pops Stand Up

One of the easiest ways to prop up your cake pops is to simply slide the sticks through the holes of an upside-down colander. This is a great option if you’re using a nicer stand to display your cake pops, but you’re worried that the pops will drip as they’re cooling. Just rinse the colander when you’re finished!

How do you make cake pops stay up?

Hardened candy coating acts as glue so it can be very helpful in preventing your cake pops from falling off the sticks. Before inserting your sticks into your chilled cake balls, dip the end of each stick into candy coating. I suggest inserting the stick about half way into the cake ball.

Should you freeze cake pops before dipping?

Before dipping the balls you want to set the stick by placing the cake pops in the freezer for 15 minutes. If you dip them and the candy melts are too hot, they will crack because of the sudden temperature change. Or the cake balls were too cold if you kept them in the freezer for over 15 minutes.
