  • Dodger: like, superIt’s like dough the more that you put in. Ro: Yeah.

  • Dodger: The more that you put in it, like firms up a lot. Ro: Yeah knead it like

  • Ro: dough. And the ratio that I use is just one cake, one cake mix, with one frosting.

  • Ro: Take a gander. Dodger: Behold. Ro: It should get really mushy like that.

  • Dodger: Really sticky. Ro: And basically what were gonna do next, is instead of

  • Ro: making like little meatballs, were gonna make little cake balls.

  • Ro: So if youre Italiano. Dodger: Oh my, this will be easy. Ro: You know

  • Ro: how toDodger: Easy mode. Ro: Yeah, know how to roll a meat-a-ball!

  • Dodger: Alright, let’s do it. Ro: Same difference, let’s do this.

  • Ro: So weve got the tray lined with wax paper, were gonna roll these little

  • Ro: cake balls and then put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes.

  • Dodger: 15 minutes? Ro: Yeah, let’s get this goin. Dodger: OK, how big should

  • Dodger: they be? LikeRo: Kinda smaller, because if theyre too heavy

  • Ro: theyll fall down the cake pole. The cakeDodger: I feel like my hands are

  • Dodger: not going to be good at this right now.

  • Ro: Just gonna stick him on the tray. Dodger: What does wax paper do? Why use

  • Dodger: wax paper? Ro: It’s so they won’t stick to this surface, apparently

  • Ro: nothing sticks to wax paper. Dodger: What? Ro: They use it to separate like

  • Ro: everything in baking.

  • Ro: Now, we are done with our cake pop meatballs, and were gonna put them in

  • Ro: the freezer for about 15 minutes.

  • Ro: While those are in the freezer, were gonna heat these up in the microwave for

  • Ro: 30 seconds, our colored chocolates. Dodger: Ah were holding our colors.

  • Ro: Oh, cause were so like that! Dodger: MagicalRo: Yeah, so organized.

  • Dodger: Yeah. Ro: Yeah, and were gonna be super efficient because while these

  • Ro: are in the microwave, youre gonna take your big, jumbo marshmallows, and

  • Ro: were gonna chop these in half. Dodger: Doin 3 things at once.

  • Ro: Yeah, efficiency. Dodger: What? Efficiency! Ro: Efficiency. Pff-pfff-pff!

  • Ro: These, are really, really hot so be careful. They came out of the microwave,

  • Ro: Theyre all nice and melted. So what you do is, you, um, take one of the

  • Ro: half cut little marshmallows. And you stick him like halfway down the stick.

  • Dodger: Halfway down? Ro: Yeah, so he won’t get. Dodger: Like here?

  • Ro: Yeah, so he won’t get any dye on him. And then you dip him in the frosting,

  • Ro: the tip, get a little on there, it’s kind of like glue. Dodger: Like that?

  • Ro: And then take a little cake ball and stick it in the bottom.

  • Dodger: OK, ooh, these are cold. Ro: But don’t put him in all the way, cause,

  • Dodger: Because it will fall through? Ro: Because it will fall through.

  • Dodger: OK, so then do I push this back up? Ro: A little bit. You want to

  • Ro: pull him down. Dodger: Oh so down a little bit? Ro: So he won’t get the

  • Ro: red on him. Dodger: OK. Ro: Just kidding.

  • Ro: OK I’m excited, I’m excited. OK, um straight down, don’t swirl it.

  • Dodger: No swirling? Ro: Just straight down and back up. Dodger: Ah, ah, oh no!

  • Ro: Oh no! Both: OH! Ro: First one, perfect!

  • Ro: Sometimes they do that, the hardest thing about cake pops is, when you

  • Ro: pull it down, sometimes the chocolate wants to suck it off. So you

  • Ro: It’s a tricky thing. OK, so dip this tip. Dodger: OK. Ro: Got a lot

  • Ro: of frosting on there. Then stick him in there. Were gonna dip him straight down.

  • Ro: And I go really, really slow. Dodger: Oh you, like, submerge it all the way.

  • Ro: And then just hope it doesn’t fall off. Dodger: Oh, oh. Ro: Seriously.

  • Dodger: Oh dang, look at that. Ro: That is luck! Dodger: Submerging I think

  • Dodger: helps it a lot. Ro: I just twirl it a little bit so that the excess

  • Dodger: So it evens out. Ro: Can fall off. Ro: I saw this on, I think it’s

  • Ro: Cake Bella, she is the creator of cake pops, she taps it a little bit.

  • Ro: And then were gonna stick it over here, in the foam, while it’s drying.

  • Dodger: OK. Ro: And then well push up, oh I think it can go, I’m not sure.

  • Ro: Yeah, I think it’s OK.

  • Ro: Oh no! Here we go, here we go. Oh I’m… I’m just gonna keep doing this

  • Ro: until it drips because lastDodger: Just keep on, when you turn it, it’s

  • Dodger: the turning! Ro: No, nooooo!!!

  • Dodger: I’m really depressed.

  • Ro: 1, 2 up. Dodger: Boom! AH! Ro: 1, 2 up, 1, 2 up. It’s up, it’s up.

  • Dodger: breading needs to be really cold. Ro: Really frozen! Dodger: Yeah,

  • Dodger: like, if you let it thaw at all, the stick goes right through it.

  • Ro: They fall, so the first ones that we did, we didn’t have any issues with them

  • Ro: falling down, but then over here, they started to get warmer from the freezer.

  • Ro: And then we put them back in the freezer, soFreeze, freeze.

  • Dodger: Freeze. Ro: Do these when they are very cold. Dodger: Cake popsFreeze.

  • Ro: Later on they started to actually look like little mushrooms. Dodger: Yeah, and

  • Dodger: we learned, we learned the, uh, the commit technique. Ro: Yeah.

  • Dodger: You dip and then you pff. Ro: Yeah, dip and then commit. Dodger: Yeah,

  • Dodger: you commit, you can’t just, like, gradually let it drip while youNo,
