“I just wanted to send you a quick picture of some cake pops i make last night for a charity event at my husband’s work today….I made 75…they sold out in minutes! I fell in love with this cupcake/candy mould and wanted to try to make cake pops with them… It was a little tricky, but I think they turned out great!” – Nadia

WOW!!!!! thats amazing! how did you use a mold??
July 10, 2011 10:01 PMWow is right. Those look fabulous. How did you get the chocolate to coat so smoothly? Plus did you pipe the rest of it on? Would love to know how you did it.
July 10, 2011 11:38 PMThese are simply beautiful – and the cake inside makes for a lovely little surprise. Now I want to go and buy candy molds and try making them!
July 11, 2011 11:00 AMwhat company did you order the molds from? they are so adorable!
July 11, 2011 11:21 AMThat is super cute! I am guessing that you put the chocolate into the mold and then pressed the cake ball in, then the stick??? They look fabulous!
July 11, 2011 08:36 PMthis is beautiful but made with a mold. :(
July 13, 2011 03:57 PMThese are amazing! How did you manage to get the cake to mold so perfecly?
July 14, 2011 02:38 PMCan you share how you did this. I was looking at molds recently but wasnt sure how to make them work.
July 22, 2011 10:01 AMthen I see your pictures. I love the hearts. Please share
GORGEOUS! They look like soemthing from a specialty bakery!
GOT to try to make pops like that!
July 27, 2011 02:19 AMAhh, I think I found the pan you used! At least, a similar one! http://www.target.com/Nordic-Ware-Tea-Cake-Pan/dp/B000VEFN8O/ref=br_1_14/190-7493125-2789206?ie=UTF8&id=Nordic%20Ware%20Tea%20Cake%20Pan&node=15825261&searchSize=30&searchView=list&searchPage=1&sr=1-14&qid=1311896037&rh=&searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&searchRank=reviewrank&frombrowse=1
July 28, 2011 07:36 PMGreat idea and excellent work, Nadia!
August 9, 2011 06:51 AMI think what you would have to do to get such fine detail with a mold would be to first paint/pour in your colored coatings or chocolates, let them dry and harden, and then press in the cake pop mixture. You could seal them with more coating or leave the bottoms open.
August 16, 2011 07:34 PMI have just picked up a set of candy moulds similar to these. I hope I get mine to look as nice. Look out for a photo :)
August 24, 2011 02:38 PMHi Ladies! Sorry – I just realized I was added to Pop Stars!!!
Thanks for all the compliments!!
@Beth – YES! that is the same mould I used!
I did pour the candy melts/chocolate into the moulds first, then while it was still liquid, I put a little cakeball inside, then piped some candy melts/chocolate on top and stuck the stick in…then put it in the freezer for a few minutes…
Once they had set…I popped them out and stuck them in styrofoam…they were very pretty at this stage, but then I decided to ‘decorate’ them some more by piping some of the leftover candy melts/chocolate onto them. :) They are a bit finicky – but worth it! :) good luck!
