I made these cake pops but am wondering if I need to refrigerate them since I won't be serving them for two days? I don't want anyone to get sick!!

Wonder if the balls can be made ahead and frozen before the chocolate coating??

yes they can as long as you place them in a air tight container.

I want to make these!! But I want them to look like the picture! How do you do the swirls? Drizzle would be easy and cute, but there are details that would almost need a cake decorating tip. :) Any tips on that?

To be able to make the designs you see in the picture, you could use a #3 decorating tip for the pretty scrolls and a #16 for the tiny little flowers or #18 if you want larger flowers. You might want to invest in a starter kit of tips that would come with a coupler. When you use the tips place the tip on the base of the coupler and insert it into the corner of a small plastic bag then cut the corner off and secure with the screw on part of the coupler. Place the l plastic bag in a glass and fold the top of the bag over the top of the glass then fill it with your frosting, twist and let the fun began.
Note: Don't make your frosting too thin or too thick when using tips. In this case, you would want it a little thicker than a drizzle in order to hold its shape and not run.
Happy Holiday

I mix the frosting while the cake is warm. Much easier to mix. I chill and then use a muffin or cookie scoup. The balls come out the same size. This is so yummmy everyone loves them. They freeze well also. Then I take out what I need before decorating.

Do you freeze them after you have coated them with the chocolate or just the cake balls? Because of the cream cheese icing do you need to keep them refrigerated?

to justamama, if this is homeade cream cheese frosting yes it needs to be refrigerated, no ifs and or buts. The Duncan Hines brand jus needs to be stored in a cool dried place, when you bought it at the store was it in the fridge? No even though the container was sealed, the same thing applies. Hope this helps!
