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.

  85. Hubby and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day – we have our own special day! We call it 4:10 day, from 1 John 4:10: “In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” It reorients us around the love that God has for us in Christ, and that frees us up to love each other selflessly. So we give a small gift (usually a book – we love books!) and cook dinner together and watch a movie. Snuggly night!

  86. My husband is my Valentine! We will spend our Friday evening celebrating with our mini Valentine’s, our 4 and almost 1 year old sons.

  87. hi bakerella!!! my real valentine is my husband (together over 15 years!), and my other valentines are all my coworkers, who I ran around the building giving owl valentines with chocolates to! Tonight our plans are too relax – one of our pets has been ill, and tonight we have no vet visits, woo!!

  88. No Valentine for me, but I’m looking forward to Kickboxing after work…best way to celebrate being a strong independent female

  89. I made sandwich cookies for my family. They don’t like jelly or jam, so I made a cream filling, tinted it red, and cut a heart shape out of the top cookies so the cream shows through. They look adorable (although not as perfect as yours) and taste great! Happy Valentines Day to all!

  90. My Valentines is my husband and my 3 kids. We plan on staying home and eating all of our valentines candy….

  91. Hi…I love the mini cakepops! So cute! Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you have a wonderful day!

    Happy valentines day !
    Stacey

  100. My Valentine is Mark. We dated for a few years 14 years ago, then parted ways when I moved. A year ago we reconnected, but I still live in Seattle and he lives in Kansas. Having a long-distance relationship isn’t ideal but when you find someone that ‘gets’ you and accepts every crazy thing about you, it’s so worth it! And it goes both ways. :) I hope everyone finds love today and always, through friends, family and our darling pets! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

  101. My husband & I met 14 years ago today on a blind date. We always out. Tonight is a fundraiser at the local pizza shop for the school, I’m sure that’s what’s for dinner.

  107. My valentines are my wonderful friends and family! We plan to give each other valentine cards and candy. I think valentine’s day is about telling everyone in your life how much you love them :)

  160. Hi! Happy Valentine’s Day!

  161. my valentine is my husband of 7 years. we are actually not doing anything special for VD on the day (we both have to work then I have an evening class on Thursdays) but on Saturday we are going to Phipps Botanical Garden and then out to eat.

    it is actually quite common that we don’t do something special on Valentine’s proper. Our 1st kiss was shared on the 15th, the next year he was sick, the year after that I was sick so… yeah we tend to just let it go and celebrate another day (when it is also less crowded usually)

  162. Movie night at home with my hubby and 2 little monsters! :) <3 Happy Valentines Day!

  163. My valentine is my husband, and we are making dinner together tonight :)

  172. Love these! We don’t celebrate V-day in particular but I love all the happiness that is floating around today :)

  173. Valentines day is also my husbands birthday so I am cooking him a nice dinner. I helped my 20 month old daughter & 4 month old son make him a birthday card and we are going to decorate the house while he is at work. Tonight I am making filet mignon and roasted potatoes for dinner. Dessert will be his favorite – cheesecake. Hopefully we will get the kids down to bed at a decent time and be able to share some “adult time” ;-).

  174. My valentine is John and we plan to watch “The vow” eating some sushis.

  175. That heart display is beautiful(and a lot of work! I’m impressed!). Today I’m baking batches of cookies for my friends. Happy valentine’s day!
