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.

  152. My husband, the kids and our dogs our my valentines. They all keep me sane and a night of tv with them is a great way to spend the holiday for me.

  153. Making my usual Valentines Day Dinner of Parmesan Crusted Veal Chops with Field Greens Salad for my hubby of 27 years.

    I wish I had a display of these cake pops to serve for dessert!

  154. LOVE these mini cake pops!thank you for this post,they look so pretty!!!
    i’ll be hanging w/my hubby,of course:)

  155. My Valentine’s Day plans include snuggling with my two boys, my husband and eating chocolate!

  156. I can’t believe it. I’m making cake pops for a wedding and I seriously had the idea for mini pops on a toothpick this past weekend. Oh well. I guess I’m not as original as I’d like to be.
    Love this!

  157. My Valentine is my sweet husband Christophe who always gives le the nicest présents! We should have a quiet evening in with our son!

  158. my valentine is my fiance and we plan to spend the night at home with dinner and some movies :)
    i also just wanted to say that your cake pops are amazing….i wish i had half of your talent! i’ve managed to make the plain round ones, anything after that just ends horribly!

  159. Your cake pops are always amazing!

    Lovely Idea

  160. My boyfriend f 4 years is my valentine and because of work I will see him for all of 2 hours today so we booked a hotel for tomorrow night to commence a romantic time :) these are sper cute!! I love your V-day designs!!!!

  161. During the day i will be working doing alot of cakepops!! In the night with my kids!, my husband will be working.
    Happy valentines!!

  162. I love Valentine’s Day! Planning to have lunch with my husband and enjoy the evening with my family around a heart themed dinner! Thanks for the fun cake pop ideas!

  163. Happy Valentine’s day! The designs are so cute. I never liked “pink things” until my daughter was born, now the pinker and cuter, the better! She and my hubby are my valentine’s tonight, and I couldn’t be happier!

  164. Gorgeous Valentine’s display! Too cute!!! My Valentine is my wonderful husband, Brandon. I baked cookies to deliver to neighbors this afternoon, then my sweetie and I exchanged awesome geeky cards and gifts this evening. So much fun! Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  165. These are ADORABLE! My husband and I will be celebrating our youngest son’s 12th birthday on this Valentine’s Day. The doctors gave us no hope for his survival when he was born, much less that he would never walk or talk if he did, but God had a plan and purpose for our son’s life!!! Chase Christian is a walking, talking, healthy 12 year old 5th grader that is TRUELY a miracle from God! What a way to celebrate this Valentine’s Day! I hope your’s is just as SPECIAL!!

  166. Happy Valentine’s Day to you! This display is truly amazing! I spent the day baking yesterday (sort of), I made (from your recipe) banana pudding (which is ALWAYS a hit), cupcakes galore, choc covered oreos (which were purchased) and choc dipped cookies! It’s for my husbands office, they love a party and it gives them a break during the day. And, most importantly, a really good sugar high. Today, I clean up the mess I made!

  167. My Valentines is my boyfriend of 3.5 years. We’re going out to dinner – if he’s feeling better since he’s got a bad sinus infection!

  168. Everything you make is beautiful. You bake so often, I just have to ask … who eats all of these yummy treats???

  169. Super cute minis! No big plans for the day…

  170. :-) My husband is my Valentine :-) It’s our first Valentine’s day together ever (after a bazillion years of dating!). So we are going away for a few days to some undisclosed location (he refuses to tell me!) and has a bunch of surprises planned :-)
    I, on the other hand, made him a card… How lame isn’t it? :( I was planning a romantic dinner out but he killed my plans with the trip :-p Oh well…

  171. My Valentines is my husband and two kids. I will be making a special dinner for them and cupcakes for all the kids in my neighborhood. Happy Valentines Day to all <3

  172. We are climbing out from a family stomach virus so unfortunately all our vday plans will not happen. However, it will be my husband and I hanging out after the babies are in bed, eating some chicken soup, saltines and jello. :)

  173. I have 2 valentines this year. My wonderful hubby and my 9 month old little boy. I cannot wait to spend our first Valentine’s Day as a family.

  174. My wonderful hubby is my Valentine. We will spend the night at home because we just went out of town to celebrate our anniversary which was 10 days ago.
    Love this idea! I can think of lots of different possibilities!

  176. Happy Valentines Day to you and your family. My valentine is my husband of 44 years this year. We celebrated early and went out to dinner on Saturday to avoid the noise and crowds. Love everything you do with cake pops!!!!

  177. My Valentine is my husband, Jim, and we already celebrated by going out to dinner and a movie. We don’t dare go out on Valentine’s Day. Neither of us like waiting for hours to get a table at a restaurant. We had a nice evening together. Tonight I’ll make dinner and we’ll enjoy a quite evening together.

    I love you cake pop display. I understand how much work went into it and am sure people will use the ideas for weddings and parties. So thanks for spending so much time and sharing it with us.

  194. Valentines Day is one of my most favorite days of the year. I became a mom for the first time on Valentines Day 12 years ago. We give a small, sweet gift to all four boys in the morning, but the rest of the day is all about my oldest son’s birthday. No better gift. Nothing else needed.

  195. My ValentineS are my hubby and 3 1/2 year old. Just making a nice dinner but with a little something sweet at the end…maybe chocolate pudding.

  196. My valentines are my 5 grandchildren…I will always make up special treat bags for them, I do not care how old they are! Happy Valentines Day!
