I have a problem.
I can’t stop making these pops.
Every time I finish making a batch, I tell myself that’s it. No more. I’m done. And, then the next thing I know, I’m buying more lollipop sticks. You know, just in case. The funny thing is, I have several bags of lollipop sticks. I buy them every time I see them. And in different sizes. I don’t do this with the other supplies, just the sticks. It’s weird. I can’t explain it. I guess I’m afraid there will be a stick shortage or something.
But, don’t worry, these are the last of the Easter Cake Pops. Promise. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
To decorate the sheep, I used some…
Teeniny tiny. But HUGE cuteness factor.
Sugar pearls for the body and tiny hearts for the noses. The ears are brown rainbow chip sprinkles and the eyes are melted candy coating dotted on with a toothpick.
I also used this candy mix (called Licorice Bridge Mix) that I found at the Fresh Market. The buttons were for the head and the pastels, cut in half, were for the legs.
All in all… super cute. And also, super crunchy. I had never eaten sugar pearls before and thought they were too high on the crunch to cake ratio for me. But, if you like crunchy cake, you’re set.
Now, if you don’t like crunchy cake, then you might want to try these instead.
So, I lied. These are the last of the Easter Cake Pops.
Little bunny bodies. I about ran out of steam on these. I think you can tell by the effort I put into their faces. But, that’s okay, because their bottoms are so cute.
Little bunny bottoms! Can you stand it? You want to bite them, don’t you?
Want to make some? Read the basic cake pop instructions first and then use the decorating tips below for the bunnies and sheep.
Sheep Cake Pops
White Candy Melts
Sugar pearls
Licorice Bridge Mix (buttons for heads and pastels cut in half for legs)
Tiny Heart Sprinkles (noses)
Rainbow Chip Sprinkles (ears)
Paper Lollipop Sticks
Styrofoam Block
Toothpicks
- Shape the cake mixture into an oval shape. Chill until firm.
- Dip a lollipop stick in a little of the white chocolate and insert into the body almost halfway.
- Then dip the sheep body in a bowl of melted white candy coating. Make sure the bowl is deep enough to dip and remove easily.
- Tap off any excess coating.
- When you make these, it’s best if the candy coating has set out for a few minutes after being heated. Because when you remove the pop from the coating, you will want to go ahead and attach the head, then the feet and then sprinkle on the sugar pearls. It’s really a timing thing. If it’s too hot, the adornments will slide off and if it has cooled too long, the chocolate will set before you can finish attaching everything. But not to worry, if that happens, then reheat the coating and use it as a glue to attach things.
Note: sprinkle the sugar pearls over a big bowl because these little guys are hard to catch. I’m still finding them in odd places.
Bunny Cake Pops
White Candy Melts
Tic Tac CHILL mints (ears)
Tiny heart sprinkles (noses)
Mini marshmallows (tails)
Pink and blue edible ink pens
Styrofoam Block
Toothpicks
- Shape the cake mixture into an oval shape. Chill until firm.
- Dip a lollipop stick in a little of the white chocolate and insert into the body almost halfway.
- Then dip the bunny body in a bowl of melted white candy coating. Make sure the bowl is deep enough to dip and remove easily.
- Tap off any excess coating.
- Insert the tic tac CHILLS in place for the ears. Don’t push too far in or they might crack later. Let dry.
- For the tails, use a knife and make criss-crossing indentions on a mini marshmallow. Don’t cut through, just enough to give a cottontail effect. Attach the tails with melted candy coating and let dry.
- Use a toothpick to place a dot of candy coating for the nose and attach a tiny heart sprinkle.
- Draw on the faces.
- Bite their bottoms.
Note: The tic tacs worked for the size, but feel free to try something else with a less minty surprise.
And now, I’m outta here. I need to go buy more sticks. You know, just in case.
You are SO STINKING CREATIVE!!! So do you sell these things or just have this site to show us all your cute tricks???
Oh my gosh. I want a dozen of these, right now!! I LOVE SHEEP!! I’m OBSESSED WITH SHEEP!!
But there’s two things standing in my way…
1. I lack patience to piece all of those pearls.
2. I’m on a diet.
Thanks for the great eye candy!
lol, too funny with your stick obsession :) All of the pops are super cute.
soooo cute! i love these! great job!
Very high on the cuteness scale!
Too cute I love the pops and all of the cute little ideas u come up with them :)
Adorable. The best yet! Thanks for sharing! I really need to make some pops of some kind SOON! My mouth waters every time I read your page! :)
wow these sheep are the cutest things I’ve ever seen!! I’m thinking I might be able to handle the chicks and bunnies…but the sheep look a little beyond me.I just wish I could stay in town for more than 2 days to try them!! Last time I was home I bought cake mix, icing, chocolate to melt and that’s it…I still need to shop:) Thanks for sharing!!
Those sheep just may be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!
These are the best yet. Awesome.
Don’t stop! These are great; the chicks and sheep make me want to take a few days off work to make them for the neighborhood (ha! if only).
These ideas alone would be worth the price of a cookbook (hint, hint). Thanks Bakerella!
Oh those little chicks….super cute…now if I could only wave my magic wand!!! HA ha..keep up the good work, I just love them.
i love the sheep, so cute!
So cute! I like the last picture.
OK, without a tiny doubt these are the most adorable things I have ever seen. Maybe you could polyurethane them or something. They are definitely too cute to eat.
WOW! I think the sheep pops are my favorite so far. They are so darn cute. Wow, I wouldn’t call this a problem so much as I would an incredible amount of creativity.
Oh my gosh, those sheep are absolutely precious.
Oh my gosh! Those are both adorable!!! You are so creative with what you come up with to decorate these things! AMAZING!!
I wouldn’t stop making them if I could make them half as cute as yours! I wish you would sell them!
Those sheep are the cutest thing ever!!!
~Amanda~
You are the pop queen! When is your book coming out!? You get them so wonderfully perfect!
You are so funny, Bakerella. And so creative. I love this website! We made my daughter a lamb cake when she was turning 3 and was totally obsessed with lambs. Somehow I think these cake pops would be much tastier than hundreds of marshmallows stuck to pound cake. And so much cuter!
I wanna bite the little fuzzy butt, lol!! I need your help, Bakerella- Why can I make ornate, creative cakes, but I can’t conquer a cake pop for the life of me?!! I need a vacation with the pro!
Those sheep are my favorite pops you’ve done so far. SO CUTE!!!
WOW, so cute! I love it! What talent you have! you’re awesome!
Thanks for sharing!
Oh my. Those sheep have about done me in. I love sheep to begin with, but sheep cake pops? It’s almost more than I can resist! Thanks for sharing your Easter collection!
too cute…. just.too.cute
So when are you gonna do hands on classes? Huh Huh? I know the pioneer woman got some … I don’t have pony to offer though. Hum. I guess I should at least try on my own first – maybe this weekend.
BEYOND cute. :)

So cute! Those sheep look so fluffy and cuddly – way too cute to eat! Love love love your blog!
There’s nothing I could say that hasn’t already been said! Please don’t stop making these. It’s okay if you lie! We’ll forgive you!
Oh, these are so ridiculously cute! I want to make them all!
These are SO ADORABLE!
I’m curious –what do you do with your cake pops? Do you sell them, give them away or (gasp!) eat them all yourself? :)
I’m now addicted to your blog! Thanks. You are so good at this and you make it easy for me to find great stuff to do with the kids when we have some free time, so, a true thank you.
Very beautiful – very inspiring:) I love them all?
tooooo cute!
You are well known for your pops! Don’t stop!!
I’m just dying of envy because of all those sticks, shaped sweets and colored sugar I CANNOT FIND in my town. Crying but enjoying a lot your blog and your creations. Those sheeps… ARE LOVELY, so cute.
THANK YOU for your imagination, for your creativity, and for sharing everything with us.
I LOVE THESE! Seriously though… how do you have the patience to make all of these. I’m going to try my first pops this weekend (minus the sticks) so hopefully they turn out.
I’m curious… what do you do with all of these once they are created? I bet you have some very happy friends!
Really amazing, as usual. How do you get these wonderful ideas??
HOLY SHEEP-these are soo cute! Not BAAAAAAAD, Bakerella!
OMG I love these! I feel you made them just for me since in my previous comment(for the bunnies) I asked for Easter Lamb pops, but I’m sure they were already in the plan!
It must be so time consuming to put on all those sugar pearls. Do you have help?
love your blog.you are so creative.I want to try making some. now I have to decide which one.keep them coming.
Oh my god…I’m in love with these cute little sheep!
OMG!!!!!!!! Don’t stop if more cuteness like this pops into your head. These are ADORABLE! And I didn’t think there could be anything that would top the chicks. I was sooo wrong!
oh goodness they are all so CUTE!
Ahahahah! Don’t stop! I also have a problem! I can’t stop looking at them…
You are funny! It has been entertaining to read your Easter pops posts these last few days. I just showed the sheep to my roommate, and apparently she now wants to make some pops for her family Easter celebration. :-) These things are addicting! Keep up the clever work!
“Hello, My name is Bakerella and I am addicted to baking THEE MOST ADORABLE stick creations!”
The cuteness of these is too much – I love your ideas! There are certainly worse obsessions. ;-)
Thank you for sharing your creative ideas. ONE day I will attempt these!
Oh.my.gosh. those are the cutest things EVER!
I always love your posts. I always adore your pops but I love your text too. You crack me up. :)
I’ve been wondering… you seem to make lots of pops – who gets to eat them?
Usually just pop :) over and don’t comment but really the lamb bum got me…you did GREAT on these!!!

those sheep are freaking adorable! I want a life size one to put in my bedroom. Course, the kids would be coming in and pulling off pieces!
I was racking my brain thinking of what you would come up with for easter and how you would manage bunny ears. You have really outdone yourself with these ones. Im so in love with the sheep, and the bunnies with the cotton tails!
Too stinkin’ cute!
oh, the white bunnies are my favourite! i’ve been lusting after the stuff you make for some quite time now…i think i might just try making the bunnies for easter!
one question tho, i always wonder this: what do you do with all these cake pops? cake pop party or do you manage to gobble them yourself?:)
Too cute. I’m a knitter – so I particularly love the little sheep. : )
Wow, you’re unstoppable! You must have the patience of a saint to do all those cute faces! I think I would change my sheep design to a cloud design sooner than later, because I have patience of a 3 year old. As always, THOSE ARE SO CUTE!
Those sheep pops are to die for! I hope you keep this up. Any of your pops would make amazing party/wedding favors! :)
Don’t stop! Don’t ever stop! Just when I think i’ve seen the cutest thing ever – I get an new update and my jaw drops again! They just get cuter every time. Thank you for sharing.
How cute! The sheep are also perfect for a baby shower!
YOU ARE SO CREATIVE! AND TALENTED!
I’m afraid I could never make anything look so nice….but I just might HAVE to try these….if you promise they aren’t hard to make?!?!
and I’m in Scotland…they are rubbish for baking supplies….
Hello bakerella!
Great Cake Pops!.
I tried making the pops the other day and found out that i have a teeny weeny bit of prob :(
My cake pops keep falling off the stick when i dip it in choc. Do i dip the stick in choc first and then insert into the round balls and leave it in the fridge for another 30 mins?
Thanks!!
Oh my GOD, these are soooo cute… Please don’t stop making these cute cake pops.. I sooooooo want to try making them, but the problem is that most of the ingredients are not available where I live. No candy melts, no candy color (to use on white chocolate), no shaped sprinkles etc..
Do you sell these? If you do, may I ask for how much?
Thank you.
OMG~How do you come up with these ideas?! So wonderful!!
Love your pops. ill try to make them this weekend,thanks for sharing your ideas
Amalia
oh my goodness! i don’t know if i love the lambs more or the chicks!!
The sheep are the cutest things ever!
They are so cute!!!!

How do you get to have the Bakerella logo next to your name?
I wish I had an ounce of your creativity!
If I was so god at making these I probably couldn’t stop making them either. Keep on popping!
I think I just woke up the whole house with my screech of “CUTE!!!!!!”
The “problem” with these though is that I could never, ever eat such adorable perfection. I’d have that standing in a glass for months until it started to get moldy and all the white beads started to fall off and then I’d feel really guilty I didn’t eat it when I had a chance.
I’ve commented before and you are just so incredibly talented – there is no one that would want you sto stop your creations – I could see 10 000 easter creations and I’m sure you could think of that many – I did try to make some pops a long time ago without success but I see your recipe is evolving with more helpful hints – I really should try these again!
The sheep are my new favorite!
Too stinking cute! I have a problem too – I can’t stop reading your blog. Every time I sit down to do something I end up here! Oh well, there are worse problems to have. Hoppy Easter!
Love the sheep – you always impress!
AWWWWWW LOVE the sheep! if march wasnt already over id “make” you do lions. wait, im a long time reader have you done (april) flowers?
ah and you are ‘normal’! with your sticks. so something i would do if i were you. and it explains my supply of non cute/edible things
These are the cutest ever! You are so creative, you amaze me!!!!
Those sheep are the cutest things I have ever seen. ADORABLE!!!!
Hi there. I was wondering…do you have any suggestions for making these ‘pop’s for kids with allergies? my little girl just LOVED the pics of your easter pops but is allergic to gluten and dairy. pls help!!
my blog is osirisandloki.blogspot.com
thanks
Tara :)
I love your blog!!!
Get out of here… you rock girl.. You make as many pops as you want.. I love to see pics of them!
Amy
GAH! You kill me! And you make me want to bake which I only do at Christmas! These are so so cute!
These little sheep would cover up all my “unsmoothiness.” Very very cute!
KEEP MAKING THEM, PLEASE!!! :-)
Key-ute-est-es-sus ever!
Too much fabulousness! I can’t even BEGIN to imagine how long it took to place those white candy pearls, one at a time, on those sheep bodies!
Stunning, as always!
You may have a problem, but it’s a good problem to have!!!!! They are truly adorable!
I think the sheep are somehow, amazingly your cutest yet. And that’s saying a lot!
Those sheep are the cutest things I have ever seen!!! You are incredibly talented. Come help me make some… :(

Hello, my name is Kelly and I’m a Bakerella addict.
Freakin’ adorable…stop it!!!
Here’s my homage to you:
http://laterbetty.blogspot.com/2009/03/homage-to-bakerella-her-amazing-cake.html
They opened a brand spankin’ new Fresh Market here in Augusta right down from where they closed the old one. You could come shop and drop some cake pops by my house. ;-) Just don’t come next week. The Masters is here and right across from the store.
Oh nooooooooooooooo I thought it couldn’t get any cuter than the chicks, but these are the best!!!!! Wow……… We’ll start sending you sticks if you promise to keep making these adorable things and showing us.
I made the chick pops last night. They really are yummy! I had some problems with them being misshapen and with the candy coating running down the stick (and on to the counter…and on to the floor…) but my mom was going NUTS over how cute they were. It was a trial run for Easter; I’ll probably make the chicks and the eggs for Easter.
Thanks!
