How do you keep cake pops moist?
The best way to keep your cake pops fresh is by vacuum sealing them before placing them in the freezer. This will help them retain their moist texture without becoming soggy. But if you don’t have a vacuum sealer like this at home, no worries. You can wrap each cake pop in plastic wrap, then again in aluminum foil.

Do you Chill cake pops before dipping?
The cake balls need to be extremely cold before dipping. Make sure you have enough room in your refrigerator or freezer for them. I always chill them on a large lined baking sheet.

What happens if you put too much frosting in cake pops?
Solution: Too much icing makes cake pops mushy and gives the truffles a grainy texture. I don’t like them, so I substitute the frosting with a creamy smooth ganache to bind the cake crumble. The end result is luxurious without the grainy texture.
Why are my cake pops not drying?
If your cake pops are not round enough, you either used not enough frosting (cake ball won’t stick together) or way too much! Remember to keep the consistency like play dough, so definitely not too dry, or too thin. What a bummer, your cake pops fall apart because it seems that you are not using enough frosting.
How do you use Aldi cake pop Moulds?
Cover your bottom mould with your top mould, and make sure everything is locked or fitted into place. Place the baking tray and the mould into the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes. When the 20 minutes are up, insert a toothpick into the hole at the top of the mould to check that your cake pops are done.
How much do you fill cake pop molds?
Fill each of the cavities of the mold with cake batter – leaving about 1 mm between the surface of the batter and the top of the mold (this is important so the cake pops don’t overflow when baking, and also so that they don’t end up flat).
Should I add an extra egg to cake mix?
Add an Extra Egg: Boxed cake mixes tend to be lighter in consistency, but if you’re craving that thicker, moister cake, then all you have to do is add an extra egg to your mix. Prepare to be shocked and amazed at the difference one egg will make when you bite into that rich cake.
