Notes
For a vegan version, use dairy-free frosting and chocolate. You can also try gluten-free cake mix if necessary.
To store, keep cake pops upright in a foam block or egg carton and cover loosely with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, freeze without decorations for up to 2 weeks and thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to serve.
Always melt chocolate slowly and stir often to prevent clumping. Using thin gloves can help keep the process less messy. Remember, practice makes perfect in cake pop creation!
