This is why I like you. When he said “don’t use box stuff for this you’re better than that” I felt that because I am definitely a person who thinks I deserve an award for doing everything from scratch! But when you are a person that cooks you know the significance of doing it from scratch and the. Taste! ❤️❤️❤️
He was talking about the buttercream part not the cake mix
He said you could use box mix lol
"im better than u for not buying cake mix"
As a line cook with professional cooking experience, I prefer to do anything from scratch.
Nothing wrong with using box mix. It’s the frosting you don’t want to use.
Omg thank you. Those small tips like "don't push your sticks too much cause you don't want it to poke from the other side" actually helps a lot. There are so many cake pop recipes but people don't give small, subtle tips like these which are actually very important.
Trying cake pops for the first time today. When you said “don’t use pre made frosting, you’re better than that” I audibly said “I’m not” lol great video tho can’t wait to try!!
lmaoo i literally said the same thing, so funny
But I didn’t see where he use the frosting
😂
Heading to HEB now to get my "Box Cake Mix" & "Frosting"
Made these tonight for my husband's 30th. But instead of trusting my baking skills 😏 seeing as how I can make even just a boxed cake taste like a shoe, I went and grabbed the Costco pound cakes 3 pack and it came out so amazing and especially since it was my first time!! Definitely going to be my absolute go to for parties! Can't wait for my little girls party she's gonna get these too 🥰
Did you just break the pound cake or had to cut the outside part?
@emma please respond to the question I'm interested in knowing too.
How did you make them like that?
As always, Chef John provides a master class in a process that most other chefs offer minimal direction. I love how thorough John is as he teaches us! Thanks for another amazing tutorial, Chef!
He was a math teacher before he became a chef.. his presentation style comes from his passion for teaching I guess.. love it
Great video and great recipe 👌, he is really perfect. I enjoy his videos very much. Take a look at my channel too if you desire 😊. I would be very happy to share my simple and delicious recipes with you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've worked under chefs, and they explain pretty well.

I love how you explain things and aren’t afraid of making mistakes! And you look exactly like my nephew!😅
"like exactly like". another mistake. a few go a long way! lol
@@SandraLovesRoses oops i just saw that!!! let me correct that thank you!
I became interested in cake pops because Starbucks was bugging with charging >$5 for one. Not only that but these are great for portion control when you want a little treat. Thanks for the tips!
Your random thought and comments makes your baking so refreshing! I love it!
John, I really love your videos. I am a new hobby baker and I appreciate the detailed information. Your kindness, quirkiness, and patience are such a joy to experience on the screen, and your step-by-step instructions complete with common mistakes and how to avoid them are making my new hobby so much easier to enjoy! Thank you!
This video should be titled. "All of the reasons why you should never attempt to make cake pops, tips and tricks" lol I love how real and relatable Chef John is. He keeps it 100. Now I know why my cake pops always fail and how to correct it. 👍
i want to try this now. literally take cake and mix in buttercream. not going to try to put a shell around them though, that looks painful
I hate cake pops. I hate the idea of cake pops 😒
@@janusconner3710okay so why tf are you on this video? 😂
@@adcoates6228 why, to answer to YOU, of course! LMAO 🤣
Can i just say that i LOVE ur videos! i watch them for everything I need to make. I SUCK at baking but when I follow ur advice I look like a pro. Im so happy for your channel and for the knowledge you spread. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
I was looking for something to make today on this beautiful Saturday morning- thank you for the inspiration! As a teacher, you must know the reason why your channel excels is because you have a heart of a teacher. Bravo! 🎉

Hi
Hi! I actually tried this recipe today! And I just have to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been looking for a good cake pop tutorial for ages. I have tried some tutorials on KZhead and the cake would fall off the stick. This is by far the EASIEST tutorial also because I used pre made frosting which helped me time wise. I decorated them the same as yours and they turned out stunning! I can’t wait to make these for my cousins when they come over! Thanks so much 😊
John i am a ten year old boy who loves to bake thank you so much for showing me these recipes online, I also love to cook
Hey John, thank you for another very fun recipe and I can't wait to make these for Easter. So very fun thing to make and of course you always make your recipes fun to watch. Love to you and your family.
I first came across your channel with the video about cake strips (which was life changing). I love how approachable and fun you make baking/cooking. Your recipes never fail to disappoint. Thanks for all the joy and delicious recipes, and I can't wait for your cookbook!
Oh my god! I was so intimidated to watch baking channels because I have zero ideas on baking but you, I feel like you’re teaching me in person and you makes it easy for me to understand. Thank you.
I love these videos.they are so awesome. Every time I feel like baking I would open up Preppy kitchen and bake Some very delicious deserts. Since I’m still a kid these videos are very helpful since it demonstrates it one step at a time. thank you John!
You always make me smile John. I love your enthusiasm. I learned the hard way to trim all the hard and dark pieces off the cake before crumbling. Thanks for sharing.🙂❤️

Best explanation of WHY those key steps are mandatory! Excellent! Thank you!
Hey John here’s a tip: when heating chocolate, candy melts, etc in the microwave, use a plastic container instead of glass. Glass holds onto heat which is why your bowl gets hot even though the melts aren’t melted. Plastic won’t have this issue. I believe sugar geek is where I learned this-I can’t take credit myself. Take care!❤
Pretty sure you're not supposed to put any kind of plastics in the microwave. I think it's a..... cancer thing? But you do you... lol
Hi, can I use white chocolate compound instead? Thanks
Omg! Show the sprinkle drawer again! You're awesome! Also, still waiting for the extrusion discussion... :)
I found this video weeks ago and made the cake pops today! I am so happy I found this video! I’ve tried making cake pops a few times before and every time was an epic failure. Making them today and seeing great results, made me extremely happy. Thank you so much for making this video!
I tried this today and they are amazing. I struggled with the cake to icing ratio before but this was seriously the most helpful video. So delish thank you
You are so much fun! And you stole my heart when you opened that drawer full of gorgeous squared jars of the prettiest colored sprinkles I've ever seen!
John..You are ABSOLUTELY our Favorite!!..Great Presentation, Easily to be Understood, GREAT Editing getting to the point!👊👍~Marshall
I’ve never mentioned this, but I like coming here to get baking advice because John gives very specific instructions & advice on every single baking recipe. And to go with it he has the best personality. Couldn’t ask for more. If you’re a person who watches KZhead a lot for information or to get instructions on something the you know exactly what I mean.
Everyone should buy his book! Super easy to follow recipes that taste and look fantastic ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
John I love your channel!! You always make everything with such ease and it gives me confidence..coming from a girl who is not the best cook and still improving on my baking. Thank you for all your tutorials
I’ve been looking for a cake pop recipe!! Thanks for giving us great directions!
I’ve been using your recipes since Christmas, I baked different things for 6-7 different occasions and people loved it, every time! Thank you for these amazing videos.
Who knew so much went into making cake pops?? You're the bomb, John! They rook marvelous... I think I'll leave it to the experts, like you. They'll be worth every penny!! 😉
This was really good to know, because my last batch of cake pops failed and now I know where I went wrong. Thanks so much!
Hi John! 🤗 WONDERFUL recipe! Absolutely love all of your recipes but your personality is the one we all love even more! Big hug 🤗
I like 👍🏼 all your instructions 🙌🏻Thanks for sharing this recipe
I’ve made so many cake pops, but thanks for explaining the cracking issue! I would make them “stick up” instead of “pop up” like you did. That way, I didn’t need a special thing for making them or displaying them. I also trimmed off the caramelization so the inside would be pretty and smooth.
I love this and the energy ✨🫶✨ you made learning how to make cake pops so pleasant and exciting! I’m going to trying your recipe 🤩 thank you for making this video.
John! You are amazing! Thank you for helping me a better mom with all your amazing recipes lol
John, you truly had me laughing out loud with that "Mega Cake Pop" moment. Great video, as always!
For a second I thought it was an ad. lol
I started at the cat pawing at the ball lol 😂
Me too 🤣
I laughed so hard at that 🤣🤣🤣 my husband was like what's so funny 😂😂😂 I just told him MEGA CAKE POP and kept laughing lol
Thank you very much for adding all of the little warnings! I find myself making tiny mistakes very often that aren’t included in instructions, likely because they may not be meant for beginners 😅 so this was very helpful!
I always wanted to know how to make these. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I love that you're always so happy........you're adorable. Gonna put this on my list of things I have to try. 🤩
As a Virgo, I appreciate your level of detail. Thanks so much! Can’t wait try to make!
I have made cake pops many times but I learned a lot from your video about some troubleshooting issues. You’re personality is so funny as well! Love your videos ❤
My new favorite science teacher. I love how you understand my emotional swings in the kitchen.
I’ve made cake pops some time ago John, and they were delicious! And I love this recipe. Hope to make cake pops soon! 😋😋
Thanks for letting me know
Please could you prepare 3 days before? How do you storage?
@@julhe8743 hi! I’m late I know lol! But my cousins make cake pops and they just store them in the fridge, but since they don’t make them like this I’m for sure! Hopefully this helps!
Thanks a lot ❤ really appreciate your explanations and the reason why you do in a certain way. Show how professional you are and meticulous too 😊
Thank you for sharing. In a very easy way to make cake pops. I made my first and they turned out very well. I appreciate the joy you share!
Thank you for the tips on getting to the consistency for the cake and softening the melted wafers. Made for a successful test run after failing my first try
These look so yummy! I want to make them so bad!!!!! Thanks for the great recipe! 😊
Omg I can’t wait to try this!!! My kids love this. 5.15 I knew you were a Virgo! Virgos are all about exactness. Baking is completely based on that. You are a master at this. Virgos make excellent cooks or chefs.
You’re also SO INTELLIGENT, love your videos ! Great insight 🥲💕💕
I made this using your frosting to mix into the vanilla cake and Ghirardelli white chocolate to dip the cake pops....it was amazing and so freaking delicious. I have tried to make cake pops several times and this is hands down the best. I can't wait until your cook book is out. Thank you!!!!
Hey I think I wanna try w/ white chocolate too. Did you need to add shortening in order for it to be the right consistency???
@@sTaCiE3398 No, I did not. But if you use a different brand you might have to.
I made the cake pops for my daughter's birthday. I used a boxed mix but made the homemade icing. I cut back on the powdered sugar and it was still sweet. I enjoyed your video and tips! They were delicious!
Hi John, I have very little patience watching how to videos because let me say other people are just boring but watching you is different. You not only kept my attention but I watched all the way through and your eye for detail is on key! You made me want to go make these Cake Pops right away! Great Video!
This is the first video of yours that I watch and I am officially a fan! You are very engaging and fun. I can’t wait to watch more, and try these recipes.
I have always wondered how to make these!! Thank you! And, love the science-y bits of info!!
Hey John. Thank you so much for your very inspiring baking/cooking channel. I can't wait to try some of your recipes. Your channel is one of my favorite channels to watch and I absolutely love your videos. Keep up the fantastic work and I can't wait to see your future recipes.😁
Thanks for making cake
Thanks ! Me and my daughter used this video for our cake pops today! ❤️ super yummy!
Hello John thank you so much for these great recipes.. always love your recipes and loved your vlogs 😊
You always make me feel like you're talking just to me. You answer all my questions before I can ask them. These look so delicious and I am so hungry now. Can you make these with day old cake or cupcakes? Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Your recipes are a dream come true man
Love the sprinkles draw🎉So cute!
Perfect! My birthday is on Saturday and I’ll definitely make these for my friends!
Dear John, thank you so much for this recipe. Although I like to bake, I’ve often wondered how to make cake pops with that nice texture inside. I will be making these. I’ve made your buttermilk pancakes a few times and absolutely love them! Love your presentation and authenticity cuz I, too, make mistakes in the kitchen. 🌸✨☘️🌸✨☘️✨🌸

Thank you for all the wonderful tips and tricks. I will try making cake pops again. I tried making them at Christmas, and was unsuccessful. Thanks for sharing.
you are my one of favourite bakery youtuber and this confetti cake pops looks amazing beautiful love sam❤and how are the families doing thanks for everything
I immediately ordered lollipop sticks! 🍭 Can't wait to make these. I just happen to have some chunky styrofoam- a quick wipe down & voila - hopefully it will work to hold the pops. 🏁I LOVE LOVE LOVE this channel. 💜💚❤️💙💛
The cake pops are adorable and so are you! ❤ You make me want to try my hand again at baking.
Thanks so much for the tips! Especially how to get them on the stick, will try this next time 😄
HAha! I love it. I learned so much. I love how you don't over explain but you teach us so much.
When John said, “when things get warm you get sad” I really felt that because I live in Florida and I made these on a humid summer day
it was very tasty, and my kids loved it and i followed your vanilla cake recipe which made it perfect.
That sprinkle drawer is my favorite thing ever lol
He makes everything look so easy. Wish I could have him in my kitchen one day for direction for some of my regular blunders. Lol
I have a school project on cake pops and you are so helpful. Thank You!!!
Thank you for clearing up this whole candy melt mess!! I have tried so many times to make cake pops with these candy melts and THEY DON'T MELT! It's so frustrating! I've melted them in the oven and everything... Coconut oil makes so much sense!!! Thanks, John!!
Defrost setting in the microwave at 10 sec intervals. Paramount crystals work the best for thinning.
this is so comforting
You’re the best!I watched all your scrumptious recipes! Keep up the master quality work!
Yay! I know now what I'm going to make for gift items! Thank you 😊
