FAQs
As long as the donuts are not hot out of the oven, you can just stick on the candy stick and dip. The donut holes will hold up when dipped in the chocolate.
What if I don’t have a cake pop stand?
You can place wax paper on the table and then dip and place cake pop on the plastic wrap. Allow them to cool upside down. It will create a flat top of the doughnut hole pops, but that is okay. It offers that homemade look.
