I am retiring after 19 years of cake balling and making treats. So I will be sharing all of my tips and secrets with yall.
I made my first cakeball in 2007 after finding the recipe in an old cookbook...and after a client asked me if I knew how to make them after they had tried one at Neiman Marcus.
Very few people knew what they were and I cant tell you how many times I had to explain to people that thier cake wasn't raw...because everyone thought the texture would be like a cupcake I guess. I got so many "i think mine was undercooked" 😆 and I would have to explain the process of how they were made.
They took off like wild fire and in the end of 2008 I made my first cake pop out of skewers...coming out of a top hat for NYE for a centerpiece....and I guess many of us thought of it... because next thing I know cake pops were everywhere in the next few years. My mom will still swear I invented the cake pop 😆 and to this day...I dont really know if I was the first one to do it. In this business nothing is ever your own for too long...and thats ok because we all learn a lot from each other...when I first started I didnt even have facebook or youtube...but once I found yall in 2009...it opened a world of new ideas...and its been a total blast ever since.
So now I am gonna share with you what I have done to make my job easier. I have made over 100,000 cake balls and pops and thousands of other treats so I have a lot of short cuts and things I can share. This is one of my biggest life changers...
Here are the links to amazon for the parchment and the trays....Now I know you can get the trays cheaper at either Sam's or Costco but in case yall dont have one close here ya go...
I may or may not make a small commission on these...I'm not sure how all that works yet but I know the rule is to let yall know ♡
I hope this helps yall!! xo
