It’s everybody’s favorite beagle’s birthday! And I’m celebrating with the sweetest Snoopy Cake Pops for his special day. It’s a big year for Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang because they make their big-screen debut this November in 3D animation for The Peanuts Movie [2] and I can’t wait.
If you’re excited and want to make Snoopy, too… then check out my complete instructions for making Basic Cake Pops. [4]
Once you have round uncoated cake balls, keep reading to find out how to decorate these lovable pup pops.
Reshape the round balls to make Snoop’s head. I made two different versions because I wasn’t sure which one I’d like best once they were decorated.
For the ears I used almonds and they turned out to be perfect. YAY! I love it when I find candies or edible add-ons that are just the right size and shape.
Attach almonds to Snoopy’s head with a little bit of melted white candy coating to act as a glue. When dry, dip the shaped cake pop in the melted coating and gently tap off any excess. Let dry completely in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand.
When dry, use an Americolor black edible ink writing pen [9] to color in the ears, draw eyes, eyebrows and a big smile. When using the pens, draw on as gently as possible. If you press down, candy residue will clog the tip.
For cute little noses, use coated black sunflower seeds and attach them in position with a small dot of melted white coating. For the best noses, sort out the ones that are more rounded from the ones with a pointed end.
Draw on collars with a red edible ink pen.
So so cute. But it’s his birthday and I think he needs to celebrate with cake and party hats, too.
See. All smiles!!!
I like this cartoon-inspired version the best because you can have more fun with his expressions.
Here’s the second version. They’re cute, too. [16]
So cute I want to bite their noses off.
