^ay ganoon ba. sayang i plan to buy this pa naman kala ko kasi medyo mas mapapadali ang work if i use this gadget.

onga, parang ma trabaho ang cakepop maker. and for me, imo, it's better to have frosting sa cake pop kasi mas siksik yung ball and can hold the stick better.

help mga sis!
1. di ba pag katapos i roll yung mga cakes you need to chill them to set? after chilling, and i dipped it na sa compound choco, normal ba na mag sweat, as in dripping yung water? i noticed na nawawala din yung sweating kaya lang...
2. ...normal din ba na soft yung chocolate, pero di naman melting stage?
3. since the coatings are soft, would it be safe to wrap them in a plastic? hindi ba didikit?

any tips for us? 

[jenny_2284]

@ rics -  that is only in my opinion. and if you will use it sa big occasions, sa isang set set ng cake pop maker, ilan lang ang magagawa? then dapat i- cool down mo muna bago mo alisin sa cakeop maker diba then next batch naman. i mean matrabaho in a sense na uulitin mo ulit until maubos ang mixture mo. for me lang ha.

@ kookie420 - agree with you. if you want to explore more flavours aside from oreo, dami naman cookies jan, ako i tried timtams etc. oreo has several flavors na din.

@ ice16

1. yes, chill the cakepops for about 15 mins to set. para madali mag-insert lolly sticks and di magbreak cake pops. before you dip it, dapat di sya ganun kalamig yng pops otherwise, mag crack yng candy melt coating nia.

2) when you make pops, dapat as much as possible malamig area mo. di ka sa tapat ng ilaw or what. (pag chocomelts ang gamit mo ha) sa candy melts kasi walang problem kasi set agad. no moist dilemma

3) dapat ang coating mo magset sa pops so dapat di soft. para babalik sya sa dati nia texture yun lang naka coat sa cakepops mo.

^sis jenny_2284, i read somewhere na ang candy melts are also compound chocolates...pero nagso-soften pa din ang pop. so the solution that i found is to put the pops back in the ref. pro yun nga nagmo-moist at di na malagay sa plastics.

im using the white compound and i just color them kasi nga mad madaling mag melt ang compound na chocolates. pero after a while lumalambot din.

are you in the phils? where are you buying candy melts?

[jenny_2284]

^ hi sis ice16. i'm based in aus. meron nabibilan jan onlive via fb ng candymelts and any baking supplies need. pm ko sayo.

Just sharing my latest cake pop project. I was just playing on how to decorate them.

will be going for vacay there so i'm so excited to make christmas cake pops for my family.

[faithful_ox]

Surely will try to make one! Am so thankful for this thread!  Soooo happy! Will share this to my Sister.

To those asking, here it is

Try no bake cakepops and use any cookies. For example:

300g oreo cookies
250g creamcheese room temperature
Candy melts (meron sa chocolate lovers i think and another in fb who sells online)
Lolly sticks

How to make:
Crush the oreo using rolling pin in the ziplock bag or use food processor
Mix the creamcheese (cut into small cube for easy mixture in oreo) -
Mould into desired shape. U can use cookie cutter if you want
Place them in the fridge for 15 mins

For dipping, melts candy melts evry 10-20 secs and stir. Continue til it totally melts. You can use candy melts and color them using powdered or gel coloring. I recommend americolor. Other option is wilton

Dip lolly stick abt half inch then insert in the cakeball. Then dip the cakeball in candy melts and sprinkle them with desired sprinkles.

To avoid thickness of coating in the cakepops, add shorthening in the candymelts. Mas madali kainin ng kids kasi di makapal ang coating.

@ lakwatsa, di nilalagyan ng butter chocolate melts. I agree with sia kookie420.
Iba ina kasi sila ng component.

@bluegintonic, san ka sa auatralia. No need to buy in amazon. Meron online sa aus madami and aa shop na wheel and barrow sa malls. I think abt $7 for 35 pcs lolly sticks. Me nabibilhan ako lolly sticks wilton brand for $4.95 35 pcs na.

Can we use brownies instead of oreo? Thank you Sis! Can't wait for the long weekend to try it.

[jenny_2284]

^ yes. I did that already. ang catch lang is, ingat lang sa paglagay ng frosting or creamcheese kasi ang brownies mejo oily na diba or yng mas sticky sya compared sa cake. pag nagmold ka at nabuo agad or di nag break meaning okay na sya.

another tip, if natatamisan kayo sa gawa nio na pops, try add some pcs of crumb marie biscuits. masarap sya (for me ha). marie ginamit ko pambawas tamis.

i'll be bringing some cake pops stuff (candy melts, lolly sticks, cello bag etc) next week pag uwi namin pinas. i'll be doing christmas cakepops. :-)

i'm planning to bring also sa last day of school ng daughter ko. i'll post here pics nung gagawin ko.

[faithful_ox]

Thank you very much Ms. Jenny! Gusto ko yung texture ng brownies. Will post mine too. Baka next week. 

[jenny_2284]

^ang galing mo sis! i didn't know pwede pala yung oreo. ako kasi from scratch, bake muna ng cake saka ko ginagawang balls. nagawa mo na rin ba sis yung oreo pero frosting instead of cream cheese? worry ko kasi baka masyadong tumamis.

[ladit]

What do you use to color chocolates? And where do I buy them?

Sis Jenny, can you aslo PM me the online FB store for chocolate melts? Thanks!

[caramelli]

^^thank you sis. gumawa ulit ako kagabi, pero cake pa rin then frosting para sa birthday ng pamangkin ni hubby. nakabili na ako ng oreo, itry ko minsan gamitin frosting din.

[jenny_2284]

fyi, a friend of mine told me that there's a small baking supply shop in alabang town center, near cinema where you can buy wilton chocolate melts. the name of the shop is gourdo's.

hope this helps to those who wants to try making cakepops.

[caramelli]

^meron pala sa gourdo's. thanks sis! ang gamit ko lang madalas is dutche chocolate chips saka goya chocolate melts. yun lang kasi meron sa sm supermarket dito.

look for chocolate couvertures, for me, they are the perfect kind for coating.
