Displaying your cake pops
To make sure your cake pops aren't ruined or destroyed when serving them, make sure they're in a stable display. Styrofoam core is a great method for storing cake pops, at the sticks can be poked into the material to stand up straight.
You can fit styrofoam core into any storage container you want, like a small basket or bucket, and cover the material with something else to hide it.
