Cake pops are one of the most fun desserts to prepare, but the making process has its challenges. One of the most difficult parts of making this picture-perfect treat is figuring out how to make cake pops really stick, and these tips will help you get it done.

Go Small

It’s almost certain your cake pops will fall off the stick if they’re too big. Try sticking to cake pops that are around 1.25 inches wide because it’s better to keep them small.

No Stirring

If you’re one of those people who enjoy coating the cake pops by stirring them, it’s time to stop. Simply dipping your cake pops in the coating and tilting them in both directions is a much better idea because it doesn’t put unnecessary pressure on the sticks.

Dipping Sticks

It’s also a good idea to dip your sticks into candy coating before placing them inside pops because the coating acts like glue and it will help your ice pops stick.

Excess Coating

Even if you took the previous three steps, you can still ruin your ice pops while removing the extra coating. It’s important to do this slowly and gently without any quick movements, so you wouldn’t ruin all your hard work.
