Chef's Notes
FOOD SAFETY: Because cream cheese frosting may require refrigeration depending on formulation, store according to the existing food-safety rules for the frosting used. Do not incorrectly label shelf-stable if it is not. CROSS-LINKS: Classic Chocolate Cake Pops (shared technique), Birthday Cake Pops.
