In reply to posidon. What do you mean by "it didn't bake"? Did you make any substitutions to the recipe? Was the cake dry, too wet? Did you use a different pan? Was your oven preheated? What was the texture of the cake?

In reply to Marie Moore. If you are using the frosting here you would just want to increase the recipe by 50% to accommodate 3 layers. :)

In reply to Marie. Hi Marie! I would probably just increase the frosting by 50%. :)

Hi Sam, I made 3-9″ round cakes and they didn’t turn out like I like, so I put them in the freezer to make cake pops at a later date. Would I need to double or triple the frosting recipe to make the cake pops? Thanks

Hey Sam. I made the recipe for the cake part of your triple chocolate cake and want to use it to make the cake pops. What your recommendation be for the frosting and dip be? Double each? Thanks

Delicious. I have tried her White Cake, Chocolate Cake, vanilla cake pops, chocolate cake pops, Funfetti cake and meringue cookies. All are 5 stars. Next I will be trying her Angel Food cake!

In reply to Mickey. Hi Mickey! I haven't tried putting it together in a larger shape, but I think it could work. It's pretty mold-able. You can see the consistency in the video if that helps. :)

Do you think I could use this for a bigger form? My grandson wants a chocolate cake with a baseball and bat on top. I was thinking about using the cake pop recipes to form the baseball and bat then covering in the melting wafer chocolate.

In reply to Yuliya. That is what I would do to thaw them. :)

In reply to Sam. Awesome! Thank you, these came out great. Party is for Saturday and it’s only Tuesday so gonna give them a freeze in individual baggies! Than just thaw it out the night before in the fridge, is that the best way so they don’t taste like they been frozen before?

In reply to Yuliya. You could put them in a box or wrap each one individually and store in a freezer bag. :)

How would I go about freezing these? Put them in a box ? It’s ok if they are touching each other once frozenv

In reply to Katie. I'm so bummed to hear that, Katie. I'd agree they can be a bit finicky but I'm disappointed to hear they didn't turn out perfectly for you. I'm not sure if it will be helpful but I do include a step-by-step video in the recipe card that may help if you'd like to give them another try!

These were a fail for me. Frosting and cake turned out yummy, but the cake pop shape did not hold up at all. I think I’ll try gradually adding frosting to the mix instead of all of it to see if that would help, since it did come out a bit wet. I’ll probably need to let the chocolate cool a bit longer than I did, too, to help keep its shape. Still a 5-star rating even though the structure didn’t turn out for me. It seems cake pops are a trial and error process.
