Mini ways to say Happy Valentine’s Day!

Heart Cake Pops

I made mini and many cake pops for you this past weekend. I had this idea I wanted to try just using basic round pops and color to make a sweet little display. So I set out to dip enough cake pops to get the job done. That turned out to be 350 plus. Yikes. Not quite sure what I was thinking … Around number 70, I was really starting to reconsider. I thought … oh my gosh I have to make five times that many. But when I start something I can’t let it go until I get to the end and see how it works out. I know this project doesn’t help you much for this year, but I thought the heart display could totally work for a lot of other things besides Valentine’s Day.

So keep reading below for the how to… or check out my big “mini” giveaway at the end of this post. It’s a mini way for me to say Happy Valentine’s Day!

Okay, here we go.

You can’t tell in the picture, but these cake pops are tiny. Like Cake Dots instead of pops. So tiny that you use a toothpick to dip them with instead of a lollipop stick. Yes a toothpick. The cake balls are actually about the size of a penny. But they are small for a reason.

  1. Regular size cake pops would take up a lot of table real estate.
  2. The lollipop sticks would be much taller and people would have a harder time viewing the design from above.
  3. I figured the proportions out so they would work on a pretty standard size piece of styrofoam to make it easier to recreate and transport.
  4. I only had to make one cake. Score.
  5. Mini is major cute.

steps

I based the display design off of a template (see below) I made so that it works with a 12X18 inch or 12X20 inch sheet of styrofoam you can find in craft stores. Then I worked backwards to figure out how many cake pops you’d need to make the the shape look right. Once I had that, I knew how big to make the cake pops. Or how little.

  • Crumble cake and mix with frosting
  • Roll into tiny cake balls. (basic cake pop instructions here) You can use the circles on the downloadable template as a guide for the right size. They should be slightly smaller than the circle so that when you add the coating they will still fit together nicely.
  • Keep rolling and rolling until you have enough
  • Dip a toothpick into melted coating and then insert into a chilled cake ball.
  • Dip entire cake pop into the coating and then sprinkle with non-pareils. They are tiny and will be the best size for these tiny treats.
  • Place in styrofoam to dry.

A couple of things to note.

  • Use a small plastic bowl to melt the coating. You can work with a smaller amount of coating when dipping. Just melt the coating in batches as you go. Then you can take breaks and watch the Walking Dead marathon on AMC in between.
  • Buy more than one sheet of styrofoam. You’ll need more room than the display size so they aren’t touching each other as they dry.
  • Invite a friend over to help you. It will go faster and maybe your neck won’t hurt like mine does right now from looking down and dipping for so long.
  • I’d try Mercken’s candy coating for this project. It melts nice and fluid – you don’t want thick coating on these. It will add too much volume.
  • I’ve probably discouraged you already. Kind of like I felt as I was starting making these. But I had a feeling they’d be cute when I finished so I went on… like I’m going to do now. And by the way, these completely make me giddy when I see them finished on the table (looking at them now), so I guess it was worth it. And it will definitely be worth it if one of you decides to try it out some day. Hope you do… with a friend.

Sprinkles

Use multi-color non-pareils for the second candy coating color. Minus the static.

Baby Cake Pop

Super cute.

When all the pops are done, prepare your display.

styrofoam

  • Wrap a 12X18 inch or 12X20 inch sheet of styrofoam with paper. I used the 19X25 inch single sheets you purchase at the craft store. You could also use wrapping paper though.
  • Packing tape worked best on the styrofoam to tape the paper down.
  • Print out the template provided centered on an 11X17 sheet of paper at somewhere like Kinko’s. The design is created for a 12X18 surface area but it is set up on 11X17 paper since that is a standard size to print. You’ll notice that some of the circles on the template are getting cropped off when they print, but that’s okay, you’ll have enough information to figure out where the pops on the perimeter should go. I hope that makes sense.
  • Tape the template down temporarily and use a safety pin to poke holes into the paper.
  • Remove the template and start arranging the cake pops using the template as a guide. Start in the middle and work your way out from the center. More than likely some of your pops will be bigger than you think and if you start at one end, left to right, they will start to tilt too much to make room as you place them in position. But if you start in the center, they will angle out equally all the way around. Again I hope that makes sense.

  72. My Valentine is my sweet man :) I’m one lucky lady because he’ll be making me dinner tonight.

  73. The boyfriend and I don’t have any big plans; he’s a bit of a holiday fun-void, but he’s my favorite holiday fun-void. We’ll probably spend some quality time with our cat and watch some Doctor Who.

  115. The hubs of eight years and I went to the P!NK concert last night for our V-Day celebration. It was absolutely AMAZING! :) So tonight will be spent loving on our three little valentines.

  116. I’m so lucky to spend my Valentines Day with my adorable niece, 4 1/2 months old. All day, I get to spend with my love bug. Am so blessed, even though I may not have my own special someone to celebrate Valentines Day with.

  117. LOVE the mini cake pops! What a great idea. I have Jury Duty today, but I did get to go to breakfast with my husband! Thanks for the chance to win.

  118. My Valentine is my husband, but he’s on the road and won’t be home today. Maybe we’ll celebrate this weekend! Love the smaller size cake pops and can’t wait to make some!

  119. My husband and i usually stay in and make a special dinner complete with champagne and oysters.

  120. For Valentine’s day, we’ll be trying a Red Velvet Cheese cake tonight then going to burn all those calories giving a Zumba Fitness class!

  121. The Hubs is my Valentine :) Nothing exciting going on tonight. I’ll cook and we’ll snuggle up on the couch with our pup!

  122. Have you ever heard the song “Cry (Just a Little)”? – If not go listen to it right now. If I were to make a song for Bakerella it would be to the tune of “Cry” and it would go a little like ” I die just a little, everytime, when I see a new Bakerella idea.” Corny, I know, but seriously your cute cake pops and fun ideas are ‘to-die-for’!
    My Valentines this year will consist of celebrating, or commiserating S.A.D. (Single Awareness Day). Valentines day is so cliche, don’t you think? Overrated? I agree. Overload of expensive chocolate and chick flicks sounds good to me. :) And now, thanks to Bakerella, I may even have a productive S.A.D. day by making Mini Cake Pops! S.A.D.? Oh, its just another one of those ‘Mini’ ways to celebrate Valentines day! XOXO BAKERELLA

  123. This is adorable! I wish I had your patience. :)

    My Valentine is my sweet husband. I made dinner reservations at our favorite restaurant for tonight, and made him a homemade vanilla bean white chocolate cheesecake. Then tomorrow we took the day off to be together and go get a couples massage. VERY excited.

  124. Holy Cow! That is a lot of cake pops. Turned out really cute! I’ll be hanging out with my family tonight high on sugar:-)

  125. Love the mini’s!! Will definitely be trying these out soon, I think I mini cake pop party is in order for me and my friends! haha

    My hubs is my valentine, at 8 months preggo (also with a two year old at home) we have plans for a quiet night tonight (take out anyone! no cooking for me!) But we have plans to go out on Saturday to get dinner, while Grammy has a sleepover with the peanut! Ahhh Sleeping in I cant wait!

  126. Happy Valentine’s Day.

  127. And I thought I was the ‘MAKE WORK’ queen!
    They’re wonderful!
    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    -Noa

  163. My Valentines are my wonderful husband, my 11 year old daughter & 6 month old son! Tonight its just me and the kids, my husband is a firefighter so he works 24 hour shifts so we wont see him until Friday morning.

  185. Have you ever heard the song “Cry (Just a Little)”?(If you haven’t, go listen to it right now. Smile.) If I were to make a song for Bakerella, it would be sung to the tune of “Cry” and would go something like: “I die just a little, everytime, when I see Bakerellas new idea.” Corny, I know, but your cute pops and blog post are to-die-for! I don’t know how you just continue to come up with so many fresh ideas using the same inspiration: Cake Pops! You are so very fresh and creative.
    This Valentines I am celebrating “National Singles Day” and will be hangin’ with some girl buddies, eating loads of chocolate, watching tons of chicka flicks and wallowing in pity because all of our boyfriends dumped us, OOPS!, I mean, celebrating our singleness! -But after seeing your cute display today, I think we shall have to add that to the list of ‘Singles Night-In To-Do’s’.
    Again, your ideas are just too darn cute for words (or songs)!

  186. My DH is my special valentine! However, I have 3 mini valentines…our 3 sons! :) We’ll have heart-shaped pizza and plenty of chocolate tonight! This is my favorite holiday and I love to go all out!
