I love your blog. I just starting doing cake pops about a month ago and I LOVE making them. They are incredibly yummy. I just wanted to note, though, in response to this blog post — Mercken’s is not actually chocolate. It’s a candy coating. You can get the same white result, without serving up the hydrogenated oil sludge, by using real white chocolate instead. I just color it lightly, once melted, using a bit of food color gel.

Thank you so much for this VERY useful tip. I have seen Paramount Crystals, just didn’t know what they were used for. I will make sure that I order some of those next time. I guess I am a little behind in the cake pop craze. But it sure is a fun thing to do.

Hej Maria, Du kan købe candy melts fra Wiltons som sælges bla. gennem Special Købmanden. De har både webshop og fysiske shops. Dog har wilton ikke en helt hvid candy melt, så hvis man vil have det skal man bestille fra USA.

Hi,
I’ve never done Easter cake pops, but after reading this post I will start practising this technique. Your colour choice is absolutely fantastic too. I can’t wait to read another blog post from you.

I cool the cake first in fridge, then with chocolate melts melted insert the stick 1/2 in in melts then insert in cake pop. It helps to keep cake from falling off the stick. Then insert cake pop in melts to cover. Also if you roll cake mixture too tight it will expand and crack your coating. FYI

Hej Louise
Jeg har fulgt med på din blog længe nu, og det er en af mine absolutte faviritter Rigtig søde cake pops, men hvor køber du candy melts i DK? Kan de overhovedet fås i “rigtige” butikker eller køber du dem on line (i så fald hvor?).
Mvh Maria

Ooooh, it feels so nice to give something back to YOU, Louise!!
I hope this hint, for an easier way to work with candy melts. works for you.

Many companies make a product called Paramount Crystals. When I make cake pops (or mostly anything that needs to be coated in melted chocolate) I use them to make the job go smoother as you can control the consistency of the chocolate.

For something small like cake pops, dipped Oreos, etc. I prefer using a small deep container like a heat safe glass mug. Simply fill with candy melts, then sprinkle on a bit of Paramount Crystals. And, just as you directed. microwave about 30 seconds, stir, repeat until smooth. Start out with a small amount like 1/4 teaspoon, then add as much as you want for the consistency that you need with a particular project.

You can always add more crystals, or more chocolate – it’s fast, it’s easy – no checking with thermometers, and no exact ratios are needed.

Thank you Louise for sharing your time, your know-how and your creative ideas!
