Notes

Common Mistakes to Avoid: Not letting cake cool can lead to soggy pops. Always cool completely! Overmixing frosting and cake can make pops too dense. Pro Tips: Chill cake balls before dipping for a smoother coating. Experiment with colors and sprinkle themes for different occasions. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, can be frozen for up to three months.
