hi this is karen from the pint-sized baker and today i'm going to show you how i make my cake pop batter and cakepop balls this is 1/4 of a 13 by 9 inch cake it's just a box cake mix nothing special a hand crumbled it to a nice consistency it is easier to crumble when the cakes are cold it relieves it takes care of a lot of the moisture that you get from room-temperature cake to that I'm going to add chocolate frosting this is just cantock ilat frosting just a scoop not a whole lot out of the can I'm going to add that to the batter and mix it up it wait till it all combines and you may have to scrape it a few times there goes you may have to add a little more frosting to it just watch it make sure that it does combine well you don't want it too thick or else your balls will be mushy this is looking really good right here it's sticking to my paddle and it's just a really nice consistency here once your pops are once your batter is made scraping down the inside here he just warms up a nice thick oh you could go a little bit more I still see some cake in it but this will work now I have two scoops that I like I have this chip clip cookie scoop it's one and a half tablespoons the second one I like to use is Mynor Pro just one tablespoon measuring spoons just a cookie scoop so you're gonna take our scoop measure it out add it to our train a little bit larger scoop again measure it push the bottom come out once my tray is full of all of my evenly made balls I'm just gonna hand roll it very gently just getting a general shape a little bit of fine tuning just roll it you really want to just roll them once without a lot of compression it's nice hand roll form it up as it goes just at making nice circles once all your pops are rolled cover it with your wax paper put it in the fridge sometimes the bottoms will compress a little just by the weight and this is what I usually use for the bottoms of the cake pops where I'll stick the stick into them anyway so doesn't really make much of a difference and that's how I make my cake pops I hope that helps thank you
