How do you make the cake balls stay on the stick? I chill them about an hour or more before inserting the stick in the chocolate and then in the cake ball, then I chill again. When I go to dip the cake ball they fall off of the stick? Help! I have ruined a lot of cake like this ending up with just a ball of chocolate covered cake.
Try inserting the stick dipped in chocolate before you chill the cakeballs. In other words, skip the chilling of the cake balls first and get a good glob of chocolate on the end of the stick and insert it and then chill. You might also just spoon the chocolate over your cakeball instead of dipping..turning it while you apply it. Also, is your dipping chocolate too thick?
Try dipping one end of the stick in melted chocolate then inserting it in the cake ball & wait until it dries
heres a tutorial that might help

I am thinking the problem lies in the cake ball itself. It is obviously not firm enough. Are you using too much frosting? What kind of frosting are you using. I've seen some recipes call for a whole can of ready made frosting. I've found a cup or a bit more is usually enough. Also make sure you're not using the whipped frostings. They will not firm up. Straight candy melts are too thick and thus too heavy to dip. They work great for piping or drizzle but you need to dip in product like Candiquick and the like. I always chill in the freezer about an hour then dip the stick in the chocolate and stick in the ball and chill a bit more while I get all of my candy melting and ready for dipping. If your ball is too cold the chocolate will crack once it hardens when your ball is actually thawing. Hope this helps.
I would place bets on the fact that you have too much frosting! This has happened to me too many times and that is almost always the problem. If that isnt then they have gotten too warm and after dipped it slid off. So, either not as much frosting or chill the balls longer.
