Cake Pops and Cake balls

[Marinusik]

Marinusik, I will try again. Liked
Nikitosik, I tried to paint AmeriColor gel, but not fat-soluble, and dry Ukrasa (Ukrainian manufacturer) painted normally. Maybe the glaze was poorly heated from these dyes?
And the idea of ​​how to dry is great😊

The first time I used a special. glaze. Before that, chocolate. Also capricious to temperature and dyes) she messed up a little, without this she did not overheat-curled up. Only fat-soluble dyes are suitable, the glaze is rolled up from the gel, like chocolate ... The first time I encountered cracks, I carefully smeared them with chocolate, this was not. BUT! making the last batch, and without putting it in the refrigerator before coating with glaze, I noticed that there are no cracks on this batch !!! How. So the matter is in the temperature difference
here's a photo

Marinusik, pretty and how did you make stripes and spirals, from a cornet?

thanks aha.

Suggest delicious toppings for cake pops.
Made a potato from a chocolate sponge cake (boiled vanilla + cocoa) + cream with boiled condensed milk. Delicious, but common enough. I would like a more fantastic taste. Can add nuts or another cream or some other ideas.

[glili]

glili, we really like chocolate biscuit, fried peanuts + condensed milk var)

Maybe some kind of fruit additives?

[glili]

glili, try it, I haven't tried it yet) I think dried fruits will go ... but I don't know about fresh ones. Do-tell

Hello everyone! I looked at them for a long time and decided to try. Accept and do not judge too harshly, as I did the first time

[Kristusya]

Kristusya, pink is very beautiful And for the first time, in my opinion, wonderful. I didn't even dare to exhibit my first ones
And what was painted in pink or the glaze was originally pink?

Ol, which dark covered with melted chocolate with a brush, and white and pink covered with glaze, in this temka on the 2nd page I took the recipe. The glaze is beautifully painted, but it does not lie flat, although it was not very thick. Here I have a question for the girls who have done them many times. How to achieve a perfectly even coverage ???

[Kristusya]

Kristusya, I will also wait and listen to how to make even ones when I dipped the covers into a cup with glaze, but all the same, they are far from perfectly equal. Then she scraped with a knife so that it was even.

Christina, didn’t this glaze creak on your teeth? Does it look like icing?

Ol, even if you drove me to a dead end: wow: For the life of me I can’t remember whether it creaked or not, it’s evident from the fact that after my children I didn’t get much))) I couldn’t dip them, I tried a couple of times and pulled out empty tubes. Then I decided not to risk it anymore and smeared it with a brush. The recipe says that it dries before our eyes, but it didn't work out for me, although I seem to have done everything right. In short, they dried up only in the morning. And according to all my calculations, they should have been equal, but it was not there

Kristusya, I will also wait and listen to how to make even ones when I dipped the covers into a cup with glaze, but still it is far from perfectly even ones. Then she scraped with a knife so that it was even.

to be even, you need to roll them perfectly evenly) for this I grind the crumbs in the combine. She blinded it, put it in the cold, pulled it out, put the sticks in the glaze soaked (freeze immediately) - then dip NOT COLD pops and NOT IN THE WARM GLAZE (this is how flakes and "hills" appear) everything should be about the same temperature, i.e.e room --- further, dipping, shaking, tapping on the hand in which we hold the pops, or on the edge of the glass with glaze, when the excess drains, you can put it to dry, well, or sprinkle it first, and then put it to dry). HERE actually is the whole secret !!! The girls experimented for a long time, both with temperature and with dyes! Not very, very perfectly smooth, but beautiful. If I am happy with my result, it means something, more often I am not happy with my work))) And then I liked everything) They will be smooth and without cracks if the temperature is the same)

[Marinusik]

Marinusik, thanks for the advice
I tried to do it again. This time is better, but far from ideal. Faced with the fact that I can't hit the middle with a stick, I need to train.
Kristusya, since you've eaten everything, it means it's delicious

Here are my cake pops, confectionery icing on top, painted with AmeriColor (colors well). This design is the request of the customer. They actually shine (covered with silver kandurin on top), but it's hard to see in the photo

Yes, not for that everything turned out great, I do not paint with an American color, everything is collapsed. Can you have an American for chocolate ??? I pierce everything right on a silver platter with one stick, without picking it up, so that it is smoother, and then I dip each stick in icing and pops) the sticks are even)

AmeriColor is usual, but can the glaze be different?
Next time I'll try to make holes like this

AmeriColor is usual, but can the glaze be different?

and I don’t paint icing and chocolate with it ... how do you paint it like that? what technology is there? it's essentially water with a dye, and water rolls up chocolate ...

The chocolate is not dyed, and the glaze is excellent. I have this 🔗
At the very beginning, before heating (drowning in a water bath) I add and everything worked out great. It turned out to be important for me not to overheat, otherwise it definitely starts to crumble or to take a lump.

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I carefully re-read all the messages of the forum and, inspired by ideas and advice, went to create! I did it 3-4 times so far, sometimes there were problems with attempts, and with icing, and with chocolate ... Thanks for the advice, it seemed to work out.

Hello dear forum participants! Let me show you how I make cake pop sticks.

"Cut sheets of white office paper into halves. Wrap on a wooden stick (a skewer, it acts as a template, then removed) and glue with starch paste.
How to make a paste: Put a couple of teaspoons of starch in a mug, add a little water, mix thoroughly. Pour boiling water over the mixture, stirring quickly, continue stirring for a while.
The sticks can be dyed with food coloring solution if desired. "

And perhaps I'll show you the results of my experiments.
This is done in a Tescoma mold, they were mentioned here on the forum. They're actually for hornets' nest cookies, which are very close to cake pops.



And this is my favorite taste. Dark chocolate icing with butter in coconut flakes. It may look strange, but very tasty.

[Nika]

Nika, very neat and delicious!
and the photos are winning! good fellow!

[Nikapo]

Nikapo, a good idea! But I'm a summer guy, so I definitely won't twist this! I do it easier - I stick ice cream sticks (which are narrow) into cocktail tubes (which are thicker), cut them to size - and you're done!

And what does it give? cocktail tubes stop bending?

And what does it give? cocktail tubes stop bending?

Yes sir!
Lenchik, they complement each other - without a stick, the tube bends, and the stick without a tube is fragile

[ElenaSta]

ElenaSta, Lena please tell me where you bought the pop maker. In our wilderness (I live in Bratsk) I cannot find it anywhere. And what other glaze do you use and what do you tint with? I will be very grateful for the answer. I want my grandson to make a "CANDY BAR" on DR.

[Nikapo]

Nikapo, wonderful pops !!!! And how do you make a stand for them and what do you fill it with, what keeps pops?

On olx / Ukraine / there is a maker for pops 700 watts 250 UAH. Suddenly who needs it.
Billed as * cupcake machine *, with one * n *

girls probably asked this question a hundred times, but I can't find something (or I'm looking in the wrong place)
I bought chocolate capsules for cake pops .. but they freeze sooo quickly .. here's how to make sure that chocolate does not freeze on the cake so quickly ??? otherwise even it is impossible to align and make sprinkles (((

AngelD, when melting, you need to add a piece of cocoa butter to the chocolate (girls add vegetable oil, but I have not tried it)

Elena that I do not find a miracle device. The price is small, you should know the quality

Teskoma has released molds for cake pops (Tvořítka na cake pops TESCOMA DELÍCIA, 6 tvarů)

and more molds from Teskoma will do (video)

girls, tell me, please, how much does a ball weigh you - a blank (biscuit + cream or filling)? Today I rolled them for the first time.
I looked on the Internet and saw that the ball should weigh 45-50 grams. Did 45. They turned out huge.
I sit and cannot understand how much to do them. I want to make them for sale.

I'll show you mine. Unpretentious, with condensed milk

[auto3012]

auto3012, cool! you are well done! did you roll it with your hands ?? .. so even ... now I want to try to cook too .... and how much is the weight of one?

Hello girls.
I honor you sometimes. Didn't write to write. And she decided to try to bake these miracle pops herself ...
I figured out a little about the chocolate icing. For some reason, I have it very thick, I added butter and great. The first time there were no problems with white glaze, but then my husband bought some new ... it is also thick, added butter, biliberda turned out, added cream, it does not freeze. What to do? I tried the colored one, it also doesn’t freeze well ... I’m standing and shaking it for half an hour. Can you please tell me if you can add something?

Girls, I read the whole topic and made my first cake pops) Thank you all for sharing secrets and different suggestions)
Made from pruning rainbow biscuit based on VNK + a little condensed milk + a little plum. oils. She added chocolate drops to some, roasted peanuts to others. Here's what happened))

[Nikapo]

Nikapo, your pops are wonderful! But at the expense of paper sticks, for some reason I have doubts .. they can withstand heavy pops, still their weight is about 50 grams, and sometimes even more .. Or do you use some special, thicker paper?)) And I have the question is when to decorate with sprinkles and other beauty, because the glaze quickly hardens on chilled pops ... Or sprinkle them immediately after dipping into the glaze ???
As far as I understand, you can use ready-made glaze right away, the one in tablets and tiles (which is cheaper, not chocolate) .. melt in a water bath and dip pops .. right? No more shenanigans with her (glaze) need to be done ..?
And yet - is it possible to stick the sticks directly into the rolled balls, and then into the cold / freezer for solidification, or should this be done after solidification? what is the difference?
Well, the last question) is it possible to use wooden skewers instead of sticks? from their subtlety the balls will not fall off them ??

kirpochka, Nataliya, wonderful pops! but for the first time it's super! what sticks did you use?)

Added Saturday 03 Sep 2016 4:52 pm

okay, I'll show you my first-borns) don't judge strictly ..what was advised here is to put a little butter in the glaze so that it is thinner and does not freeze right away - this did not save my glaze ((only two tablespoons of cream diluted it .. but it still hardened very quickly .. the sprinkling had to be "glued" by hand. ..))) and .. these wooden skewers are not at all suitable for pops, those that are inserted deeper - they pierced through under the weight of the ball and my pops ended up on the "floor" (stand) Can you do them without skewers ??? Just put in mini capsules, it will also be beautiful))
oh yes, here they are ...)) the balls were even, but it was not possible to distribute the glaze evenly over the entire surface .. so, I smeared it with a silicone spatula from below, and dipped it into the glaze from above ..)

[Yasmina]

Yasmina, Thank you!!! I bought special sticks for cake pops)

Just put in mini capsules, it will also be beautiful))

Of course it will be beautiful.
Popsiki turned out good)))

[Nataliya]

Nataliya, and the glaze on them should be solid in the end (when solidified)?

[Yasmina]

Yasmina, I did it with chocolate, it froze) And I had the icing in the bag, I didn't like it)

A friend of mine did with glaze. So she stood with a stake. A friend added cream to it.

So I also want the thin chocolate crust to be hard and break when biting off, this time I added cream to the icing and it turned out not hard .. Tomorrow I will try without cream and butter, maybe it will work ..

[chocolate with nuts) creamy glaze, melted coffee with milk and milk chocolate ..]

I made the last time with melted chocolate, it does not go so thin, so it comes out too chocolatey, but with a crispy crust) today I decided to minimize the chocolate icing, but keep the "crispness" - I just poured my pops in a thin stream) I really liked the result )) .. the frozen chocolate "powdered" a little with gold ..) these are unlikely to fit on a children's sweet table, but as an "adult" option - very good, I think .. chocolate with nuts) creamy glaze, melted coffee with milk and milk chocolate ..

She also brought cake pops ... They almost always go to the candy bar as an addition ... so there was almost no photo) I forgot)) ...
These baked goods in a silicone mold, covered with glaze and sprinkles)

Super! Thank you! My daughter also loves chup-chups, I will definitely do it!

Good day everyone! I confess I haven't read the whole topic, you need to decide on the main thing, to be or not to be) Tell me pops can you make in a day? we have jam day on monday. If I put them on on Sunday, is it okay ?? I'm afraid I won't have time for everything in one day, but it would be just super. Will the taste suffer badly?

[Olivkka]

Olivkka, even after two or three days the taste will not suffer!)) Store in the cold!
