They’re not undercooked, they’re just mashed together with icing.

Don’t worry, cake pops are cake crumbs mixed with frosting and smushed into a ball.

That’s the intended texture - they are fully cooked in the sense that they are safe for consumption

Not sure Starbucks would sell cake pops if they were intentionally undercooked

we’ve literally gotten customers complain that “the baristas undercooked their cake pop” 😭

They’re not undercooked and please don’t tell customers they are undercooked

look up how cake pops are made, it’s just mashed up cooked cake mixed with icing, formed into a shape, and covered in chocolate, they’re not undercooked

They’re not undercooked. Next time you’re there try this. Hold up a cake pop, and then hold up a piece of actual cake that’s comparable in size. Two things to notice: 1) if you actually bought a piece of cake that size it would only be like literally half a bite of cake. 2) the cake pop is a lot heavier than it would be if it was an actual piece of cake that size.

Cake pops are just denser than normal cake because if they were light and fluffy like normal cake you’d be getting ONE half-of-a-bite of cake.

Bonus 3) if you bake your own cakes at home you might notice how it’s basically impossible to get normal cake batter to look like that because either it will be undercooked and just fall off the stick in a goopy mess, or it will be over cooked and fluffy. Cake pops are just cake that doesn’t have all the little air bubbles in it so you can pack the whole serving in a tiny space.

Its essentially cake leftovers mashed into a ball with icing then dipped in chocolate
