GirliePop FAQ
Sweet things, cute things, happy moments—here’s everything you’ve asked us about jewelry care, homemade vanilla, and shelf-stable cake pops.
Polymer Clay Care
✨ Are my GirliePop earrings delicate?
They’re lightweight and durable, but not indestructible. Avoid bending, squishing, or dropping them to keep them looking fabulous.
✨ Can I wear them all the time?
We love the dedication, but give them a break. Remove before showering, swimming, working out, or sleeping.
✨ Are they waterproof?
They can handle minor splashes, but water isn’t their bestie. Prolonged exposure can damage metal findings and adhesives.
✨ How should I store my pieces?
Store in a jewelry box or pouch in a cool, dry place. Keep pieces separated to avoid rubbing or scuffing.
✨ How do I clean them?
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol, acetone, or abrasive materials.
✨ Can heat damage polymer clay?
Yes. Avoid leaving your jewelry in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods, as heat can cause warping.
✨ Are the metal parts sensitive-ear friendly?
Most findings are hypoallergenic but not medical-grade. For sensitive ears, stainless steel or titanium options are recommended when available.
✨ What if something breaks?
Stop wearing it immediately and reach out. Many minor issues can be repaired, and we’re happy to help.
Homemade Vanilla & Shelf-Stable Cake Pops
🍦 What is homemade vanilla extract?
It’s a simple infusion of split vanilla beans in alcohol (usually vodka) that creates a rich, natural flavor. No artificial additives—and it gets better with time!
🍦 How do you make homemade vanilla extract?
Split vanilla beans, place them in a jar, cover with vodka, seal, and store in a cool, dark place for 6–8 weeks. Shake occasionally. The longer it sits, the stronger the flavor!
🍦 How long does homemade vanilla last?
Indefinitely! Alcohol preserves it. Top off with more vodka as you use it and add fresh beans to keep it strong.
🍭 What makes cake pops shelf-stable?
Fully baked cake, a binder like frosting, and a candy coating that seals in freshness. This combo keeps pops safe at room temp for several days.
🍭 How long do cake pops stay fresh?
Room temp: 5–7 days in an airtight container.
Fridge: ~2 weeks.
Freezer: Up to 3 months (wrap individually).
🍭 Do they need refrigeration?
Not right away! If coated and stored in a cool, dry place, they’re fine for several days. Refrigerate for longer freshness.
🍭 Can I customize flavors?
Absolutely! Use homemade vanilla for a rich base, then add seasonal spices, citrus zest, or fun coatings for extra flair.
🍭 Are GirliePop cake pops safe for shipping?
Yes! We use sturdy coatings and packaging to keep them fresh and cute until they arrive.
