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.

  148. My valentine is my husband. This is our first valentines day as a married couple, so I’m hoping its extra special!

  149. So cute!! My valentine is my husband and we both teach at the same school. They’re hosting a special lunch- the orchestra will play and they’re having pics taken. It’ll be a fun lunch date.

  150. No special plans for the day….I baked your mini valentine cupcakes to bring to work……Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

  151. My valentine is my husband Steve of 30 years <3!

  152. I’m going to spend today doing a bit of homework (as we’ve had the week off and I haven’t done any yet… :L) and then I’m goin to polish my cadet parade shoes to make them all shiny and beautiful and if I have a spare minute or two I’m going to make some cupcakes :D

  153. I’ll be out of the country, so just working and traveling.

  154. Spending the day with my sweet 9 month old son.

  155. My Valentine is my husband! Our 5 yr anniversary is next week! I’ll be celebrating with my husband and our 2 yr old son in Scotland!

  156. My hubby of 27 years is and always will be my Valentine!
    Love these mini version of the regular sized pops, so cute!

  157. my boyfriend who was also my childhood friend that used to sit in front of me in school. we rarely spoke to each other back then and even lost touch for awhile but fate let us meet again about ten years later to fall in love. i’ll just be having a simple dinner with him cos that’s all we both really need. hope you have a great one too!

  158. I am spending Valentines Day helping with a chocolate bake off at my work, and then coming home to take my lovely wife out for a nice meal. Being able to gift her with an iPad would be the icing on the cake (pop)!

  159. You’re a baking genius! I’ll spend Valentine’s Day with the hubs & our kids.

  160. My Valentine is my Husband and our first child, our 3 month old daughter, Lorelei! We plan on spending the night in with her, enjoying her first Valentine’s Day! (And probably indulging in some chocolate ourselves!!)

  161. My valentine is my 11 year old golden retriever, Rosie. She’s always there for me.

  162. I have no valentine… My plans for the 14th are to work :(

  163. Hi there! My valentine is my hubby of 8 years and my two babies who are 3 and 4. My hubby and I plan to have a much needed date night at our favorite restaurant while my babies will be with grandma and grandpa. But we won’t stay away too long because we will miss being them too much. Happy Valentines!! XOXOXO

  164. I am going to the movie with my 3 lovely children on valentine.
    They are my Valentines.

  176. Spending V day with my two daughters – I think heart shaped pizza is on the menu for tonight!

  177. My hubby is/was my Valentine. We go out on the 13th each year to celebrate. We a avoid the prefix/expensive menus that seem to be the norm on the 14th :)

    Happy Valentines!!

  178. Im spending Valentine’s Day at home baking with my sister in this really cold rainy weather where Im at!

  179. Happy Valentine’s Day!! I’ll be spending most of the day with my fab husband who’s going to be making steaks for tea followed by his homemade creme brulee :) Also going to see some of my friends for tea and cake this afternoon – the best of both worlds!!

  180. My husband and my almost one year old daughter are my Valentine’s! Nothing special planned, just a night at home. I love your blog BTW! I have been following you almost since the beginning when my friend told me about these cake pop things that are so cool. I made them April of 2009 for our Women’s conference at church. Thanks so much for the inspiration! So proud of all the amazing work and how far you have come in a few short years.

  181. I have to deliver some cake pops I made today for a friend’s husband. Tonight we are going out for a special family dinner!

  182. My Valentines are my two grandbabies who will be born soon. I would love to be able to use this to make treats for them as they get older.

  183. My Valentines are my husband, son, and daughter! We are spending the night in celebrating with our family. The iPad would be perfect to help my daughter! She is ten months old and has been diagnosed with multiple developmental delays. Her physical therapist just showed us some apps that could help her. My fingers are crossed! Have a wonderful Valentine’s day with the ones you love!!

  184. What a cute idea! I haven’t planned anything special for Valentine. My boyfriend and I are after almost 4 years still crazy about each other! We send little love notes and the whole apartment is covered with post-its with sweet messages on it. So I guess Valentine is just another love day like the other 364 days are :-). We don’t need a special day to say: I love you!

  185. Hi! I’m loving your display idea. I will celebrate Valentines with my kids. Maybe to the movies and eat out!

  186. I don’t have a Valentine :( Valentine is to celebrate the ones you love so I’m just gonna spend the day with my family :D
    and maybe i’ll have a cookie to celebrate such a love filled day :D :D xxx

  187. My kiddos are home from school so we’ll be baking up some chocolate chip muffins :D

  188. My hubby and I will rendezvous at a wonderful Cajun place to do a late Mardis Gras/Valentine day evening. Adding a little spice to the already loving day couldn’t hurt!!

  189. Since my SO is in another country, I will most likely bake a cake and stuff myself silly with it :´)

  190. Well, I am homebound with a broken back so I will be home with my boys. However, I do have ingredients to make a nice heart cake.

  191. I loooove your cakepop ideas!!! I will fix those minis for my husband this afternoon – he’s always on a diet so those are a great idea!!! :-) I will be going out for dinner with my husband and my 5 months old son tonight.

  192. Happy V Day,

    Whilst i have no one to make 350 cake pops for I always look forward to seeing an email in my inbox from bakerella!
    Thank you for your fabulous creations x

  193. Such a wonderful idea – thinking about personalizing further but maybe doing white and blue for my lovely fiance x

  194. My Valentine is my husband! We just got married on New Year’s Eve…well, actually at 12:02 on January 1 but the party started at 7:00 on NYE :)

  195. Spending the day as a family with my husband and our 3 little ones. Happy valentines to you. Brooke.
