Carrot-shaped Cake Ball Treat Tutorial
This is a 47-minute step-by-step video tutorial demonstrating how to make the Carrot-shaped Cake Ball treats, as shown in the photos.
This tutorial is best for someone who has made cake pops or cake balls before. This is not an "Intro to Cake Pops" tutorial. Some cake pop "basics" will be covered in this video, but those skills are not the primary content. That said: this specific design is one of the most "user-friendly" for someone who is new to cake pops. It's more forgiving than other cake pop designs, because you don't have to be able to roll a perfectly round cake ball, or make "cake dough" that is the perfect consistency. You may even be able to recreate this design with donut holes.
In this tutorial, you'll learn:
*How to recreate the carrot treat design shown using a cake ball and ice cream cone
*How to melt and thin chocolate (candy melts) for coating cake balls & similar treats
*How to make your own piping bag out of parchment paper
*Tips for preventing or fixing common mistakes made when making cake pops, cake balls, and similar treats
*Tips for preventing fingerprint marks when handling chocolate
*Strategies for preventing disintegration of parts/ingredients, caused by humidity and moisture from the cake ball
*Several options for packaging & presenting the carrot treats
*Sources for all the materials and supplies needed
You will also receive a PDF supply list with hyperlinks to purchase needed supplies.

There are 2 versions of the same video tutorial. The "Carrot-shaped Cake Ball - high resolution" version is about 1GB, and the "Carrot-shaped Cake Ball - low resolution" version is about 614MB. The smaller version is the lowest-quality option I could create with the software used. It will work for viewing on smartphones, but may show as low-quality on larger screens (like computers). The larger version will show clearer on bigger screens, but will take longer to download. If you encounter an issue with downloading and/or viewing, be sure you have followed the directions below, checked your internet strength & speed, and if all else fails, restart your device and try downloading again direct from your email. Again, please be mindful that this is almost an hour's worth of content, so it will not be a quick download (even for the low resolution version). Please allow time, and do not plan for this to be an instant transfer.
