Your candy melts are high in fat, and airbrush colours are water or alcohol-based, so the dotting effect will result. There is a product you can add to water-based colours (colorflow ?) which allows you to colour candy melts using the regular Americolor colors, so maybe use that to get an even colour with your candy melts rather than airbrushing.

cakes and bakes,
how much cream cheese do you use for 1 batch?

splymale, for 1 batch, meaning about one 9x13 sheet cake, I use about 1/2 a cup. However this depends really on how moist your cake is. When i make brownie pops for example, brownies are so moist i dont even use cream cheese. I dont have to add anything to them.

I would add enough cream cheese starting by 1/4 cup, and just knead the "crumb dough" until its firm enough to roll into a ball shape and not break.

I bought a cake pop pan so i didn't have to roll them, and had no problems with cracking.

Great tip with the ice pack under the wax paper pan.

I am making about 450 cake pops for a wedding next month. Any suggestions on the easiest way to transport them safely and easily?[/b]

If I were doing it, I'd get several cardboard boxes (at least 12"x12" at the base) as well as a piece of 3"-thick styrofoam cut to fit exactly inside the bottom of each box. I'd make sure I had gotten the stick of each cake pop well embedded in the styrofoam and that none of the cake pops hung out over the edge of the styrofoam (so that they wouldn't brush up agains the insides of the boxes). I'd put these styrofoam plaques with the pops in the boxes and then I'd put the boxes in the trunk of my car on some kind of non-skidding mat.
