How to store leftover cake pops

Store your leftover cake pops in an airtight container. You can keep them at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate them for up to a week. If you need to keep them longer, freeze them (undecorated) for up to three months. Just make sure they’re fully defrosted before adding chocolate and decorations.

Pro Tip

For an extra smooth coating, try adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate before dipping. It makes the chocolate easier to work with and gives the cake pops a glossy finish.
