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.
- Regular size cake pops would take up a lot of table real estate.
- The lollipop sticks would be much taller and people would have a harder time viewing the design from above.
- 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.
- I only had to make one cake. Score.
- Mini is major cute.
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.
Use multi-color non-pareils for the second candy coating color. Minus the static.
Super cute.
When all the pops are done, prepare your display.
- 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.
Full of heart.
But you can also rearrange them for a different look …
And spread a little love…
… Or some sweet hugs and kisses.
Here are the 11X17 inch templates for each.
And because I love you guys and all things mini, here’s a little giveaway for you.

My valentines are my husband and our 6 year old daughter and 5 year old son – the loves of my life!!
My valentine is my wonderful fiancé, who will be my husband in just over 14 weeks! We don’t do much on Valentine’s day, because neither of us really does presents or cards – we’re just cuddled up watching television together (perfect!)
I didn’t have a valentine so I just gave my friends some nice heart-shaped chocolates I melted and coloured myself :)
My Valentine is Phil <3
My 2 boys are my Valentines! Couldn’t ask for better!
I love this but unfortunately I have been sick all week so this Valentine’s Day I am spending it sick at home with my sweetheart at work. After he gets off we will just have to relax and celebrate another day. Of course, every day is valentine’s day with my sweet husband so we are good. Thanks for the pictures and instructions…I love your art. :)
My valentine is my partner of almost five years. We’re in different cities, this year, so we can’t do much!
My valentine is my hubby, we have been married 2 years. We will be hanging out in our new house we just bought in Jan. Great giveaway! I made some heart shape cake pops for today!
My valentine is my fiance. We always wait until the day after to do valentines day because everything is less expensive and less crowded. So tonight, I will be making red velvet heart shaped cookies for him :)
Happy Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately my valentine (husband) is out of town, so we will be celebrating Valentine’s another day. But I’ve loved seeing (and eating) all the Valentine’s sweets and treats!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I will be celebrating this special day with my husband and 2 sons! How lucky am I? We will be staying in with a home cooked meal!
My valentine is my 2 best friends, we actually became besties on valentines 5 years ago when none of us had dates. We celebrate our friendiversary every year now.
My valentine is Jesus Christ this year! He is taking me from America to Scotland as a missionary in the next few weeks…so my big plans for the 14th are…to spend time with those I love that I wont be able to see in a few weeks!
My husband and I celebrate with our two boys. I always make a fun dinner (hearts, red, etc), have a yummy dessert which is a big treat in our house, and let them drink out of wine glasses.
My beau is my valentine. Since we both work all night on Vday, we’re celebrating the rest of the week in little ways; chocolate gifts, delicious dinners, etc… Woohoo!
My Valentine is my husband, Pete. We are not spending much money (like we usually would do) because we are in Financial Peace University (Dave Ramsey) and all our money is going toward debt… but, we will eat dinner at home by candlelight and I’m making chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert.
Danielle
P.S. Your page is the rage! Love it!
I will be spending valentine’s day with my husband and cat :) love the minis!!!
My valentine is my mother lol. She loves valentines but my stepdad doesnt usually buy her anything for the special day, searching through the lego store i found a small lego heart jewelery box that i thought shed love since she loves hearts. She has been the best to me through these tough times with my work and i cant thank her enough! Love ya mom
Can I have two Valentines? Mine would be my husband and my son, who’s due in six weeks.
MY VALENTINES ARE 2 KIDS AND AMAZING HUBBY. BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE IS OUT OF TOWN SO WE WILL BE ON FACETIME. BUT WHEN HE GETS BACK HE IS GOING TO TAKE ME OUT TO DINNER JUST THE TWO F US.
My lovable son and husband are my valentines. These mini pops are so adorable, I have to try it. But this weekend I’ll be making 270 regular sized cake pops favors for a wedding.
My husband and my two adorable sons are my valentines this year!
I have three valentines. My lovely husband, my dog and my cat. They are all very sweet and snuggly (though not at the same time), and I will be making pancakes for dinner tonight and a blackberry brulee for dessert that looked quick and delicious. Yum!
I am at work, but last night i opened my closet door, there was hershey kisses and hugs, a 5ft teddy bear i named mr.butter and pink roses, my husband and i will be married 30 years this December.
My valentine is my hubby of 7 years!! We plan on hanging out with our youth group tonight. We celebrated earlier this week. So thankful for a wonderful valentine and cake pops! :-)
I’ll work, and when I get home I’ll do some more valentine inspired cake pops :)
My Hubby is my valentine, along with my 3 year old daughter, 6 month old son and two dogs, ColbyJack and Feta. We are having a nice dinner at home, just us and the dogs. My favorite kind of night.
My husband, of course— and my two special children!
My valentine is my boyfriend– because we’re long distance, we actually did Valentine’s Day early. We celebrated by skiing (my first time– lots of bruises), going out for delicious burgers and music, and making adorable vanilla-vanilla cupcakes with tiny heart sprinkles. Happy Valentine’s Day!
My husband is my valentine! Also my 2 year old cute boy and my twin girls in my tummy! We are all just relaxing together at home tonight!
We’re staying in! WHo eats all these cake pops when your done with them??!!
Gustavo is my valentine! and Coming from work, I’ll make a special dinner for him! S2
No Valentine and I’m coming down with the flu. :(
My husband is my valentine and we are actually going out to dinner on Friday so we don’t have to fight the valentines day crowd.
My valentine is my hubby, though my big plans for the day involve going to my preschooler’s valentine’s day party!
I didn’t think there could be any dessert cuter than cake pops, until I saw these mini cake pops. My only plan for Valentines Day is to eat more chocolate than I do on a normal day.
I love this idea, but there is no way I’d have the patience to do it myself! I’ll be spending the evening with my hubby and son, but we don’t have any special plans.
This is adorable. I LOVE the mini cake pops! Happy Valentine’s day to you! My Valentine and I are making a special dinner at home and some apple pies!
My hubby bubby is my Valentine..We are hanging out with our two goons (our sons) this weekend and taking them to dinner with us. This Saturday will be our 5 year anniversary! So we have 2 reasons to celebrate.
I love this idea and will definitely save it for another time. My valentines are my husband and son, and dinner will be cooked for me tonight by them!
My boyfriend :). I have to work tonight but we’re going out to an amazing dinner tomorrow night.
My husband of 41 years and I have the Valentines Day flu so we are having a romantic dinner of chicken noodle soup and tea.
Happy Valentines Day! My valentines are my hubby and my 4 year old daughter. We will have everyones favorite, peperoni pizza and lot’s of chocolate. Yum!!!!!!!
my husband and kids!
My hubby is my valentine, we’ve been married almost 7 years now. He has rehearsal for a play he is in tonight, so we are going out to dinner to celebrate tomorrow night.
I’m being adventurous and going on a first date! I’m so excited and nervous – but that’s half the fun!
Beautiful display! My Valentines are my husband and my two furry kids Chevy & Kacey. We plan on ordering in and hanging out on the couch watching movies.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I love the idea to make mini cake balls.
I will try this at home. I have many valentines. A wonderful husband, incredible siblings, and amazing parents. We are celebrating Valentines day on the 19th; we are going to to see the San Diego opera perform Samson et Dalila.
My husband and I are going to eat with the kids and then to my son’s conference. Nothing fancy but just to spend time with my kids is a plus.
The mini cake pops are SO cool. I will be spending time with my husband and boys at baseball practice. “Tis the preseason.
Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
We’re staying in tonight, our 7 year old was home from school with a fever. We’ll have a romantic dinner of lasagne with our 7 year old and 19 month old. :) Not a bad way to spend the holiday!
I am going to take my two kids out for ice cream cones! My hubby is working tonight :( PS I love you! Happy Valentines Day!
Ken is my sweetheart – for 45 years now. Hope you have a great Valentines Day!
My husband, 2 year old boy, and 2 week old boy. We are going to escape for a little while and go out to dinner while grandma and papa watch the boys.
My valentine is my hubby and we plan to watch a movie and get take-out!!
My valentine is my dear, sweet hubby Hank. He’s also my number one taste tester!
I don’t have a valentine so I’ll let my 2 beautiful grandchildren be my valentines. Couldn’t make me happier.
We (the husband and I) plan on staying home, we’ve become home bodies since we had our daughter (who is 5 going on 25). Probably order some takeout and eat a box of Godiva chocolate and maybe watch a movie. Maybe have a make up date on the weekend when we can get a sitter.
I will be working until 8pm but when I get home I will be spending time with my greatest loves: My Husband Julian and my Son Eric. They are the greatest guys in the whole world and they are my life. We don’t need to celebrate Valentines Day because everyday is Valentines Day for me. A girl couldn’t wish for more!
I have two valentines my hubby and 12 year old son and i guess my 3 cute little Pomeranians too
My boyfriend is making me dinner tonight. I have no idea what he’s fixing, but he’s excited about it, so I’m sure it will be good!
My Valentine is my boyfriend Mike. We plan to just be in each other’s company this Valentine’s Day. Tomorrow we will go on a special dinner just the two of us at the restaurant we went on our first date!
Those are seriously cute. My valentine is my family. We’re going out for dinner tonight for gnocchi alla vodka. I might whip up something chocolate when we get home, but we’ll probably be too stuffed.
I’m going to bake a batch of cookies and then choose a few random people to give a dozen cookies to :) Random acts of kindness are always the best cuz they’re so unexpected.
Wife is the valentine. Dinner and a show.
I don’t have a valentine! But, me and my girl friends are going to go see Safe Haven! Oh and I LOVE YOUUU!! Happy Valentines Day!!!
My Valentines are two of the cutest little girls and of course my husband! We had a small valentine party and then went to lunch as a family! Next up, making sugar cookies!
My valentine is my husband. We will be going to a comedy show and having a late dinner.
P.S. I also made cake pops for v-day!
I stayed up till midnight last night making my silly buttons Miyah who is turning 3 next Thursday :) heart shaped cupcakes to take to her day care today. She was sooo excited!! Today for Valentine’s day I am surprising my Honey and my baby girl with their Valentine’s Day surprise!!! Yay! I can hardly wait. YB
i’d love to get an ipad mini as a delayed valentine’s gift for my fiancee!
My boyfriend of 3 years! We are going to my favorite restaurant tonight and a broadway show tomorrow :)
Happy Valentines Day! For Valentines I made CAKEPOPS for all my friends at school. Thanks for the ideas:D
I’ve gotta say – YOU’RE my Valentine, for all the hard work you put into creating and sharing this yummy crafty treat. Thank you! (And thanks for the opportunity to win, too – that’s super sweet!) xo
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I’ll be baking up some heart shaped sugar cookies this afternoon for my valentine and we will celebrate with dinner out tomorrow. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Happy valentine’s for you all!!!
Hope you have a wonderfull day, find someone you can hug and kiss today!!
Love your creativity, even if its something I may not do, it does inspire!
I love the display. I think I will make one for my next party. I don’t have a special someone, but it’s okay. I love the holiday anyway and am planing some cute things to bake and have a friend photograph.
I am working tonight, so I think my husband and I will have a lunch date tomorrow. :)
My valentine is my hubby, Kent. We’re going to dinner – sans kiddos – on Friday night. Shouldn’t be busy at all! :-)
My valentine is myself. I just got out of a 24 yr abusive relationship and I have finally learned to LOVE ME….
My Valentine is my hubs! He is wonderful! And hopefully, for Valentine’s day, we will have a baby! I’m due in 4 days, but I certainly wouldn’t mind going into labor tonight!
My Valentine is my hubby. We’re making a very special dinner at home. This is our last year with just the two of us since we’re having a baby in a couple of months. We’re so excited but thought we should make this one special.
Hi! I made Caramel Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Vanilla Kipferl (I know, it’s a weird name, but it tastes o so good!) and I made snickerdoodles. Who doesn’t love cookies, right? And Valentine’s Day is about love (for cookies), after all. :)
My hubby is my valentine. We are going to a B&B slightly out of town – ahhhhhhh! Good idea on my part! Almost double booked ourselves though – hubby had the same idea :) His turn to plan it next year.
Love this idea with the mini cake pops. I took on the daunting task of making 100 valentine day cake pops for a friend yesterday, it was a long but fun process!! I’ll be celebrating my valentine’s day this weekend, everything is over-priced and everywhere will be too crowded! :-)
Happy Valentine’s (Heart) Day! I have a few valentines; my husband of 39 years and my two little handsome grandsons.
I sent my grandsons each a valentine and put in 5 of the newest one dollar bills I could find and bought a little chocolate for my husband.
Bakerella, these little adorable cake pops are wonderful. This gives me some fresh ideas for cake decorating.
Thank you.
I love spending Valentines day with my two boys, my son and husband
My valentine is my husband and we are celebrating our first married Valentine’s day today!
These are soo adorable!
My Valentine is my soon to be husband Kevin, he’ll be my Valentine Always and Forever
My husband and I plan on spending the evening together at home.
Those mini-pops are adorable!
My Valentine is my hubby…we have a wonderful evening planned…wine dinner at a local mansion and an overnight stay…thanks for all your wonderful ideas!
Chic-fil-a and a basketball game. (Yes, I have kids.)
These are ADORABLE! I love mini anything and everything. My valentine is my husband. You actually met us both at one of the Cake Pops Holidays book signings.
My boyfriend has to work today, so we attempted to celebrate last night. I was going to make some cookies for a work party and I ended up RUINING them and having to start from scratch, so our fancy cupcakes and rented movie will have to wait until tonight when my sweet significant other gets off work tonight! We celebrated a week of love instead of just a day! :)
my valentine is my husband and we’re going out to a really cool dinner tonight!
These are so stinkin’ cute! Me and my 3 girls are having a movie night…..pj’s, movies, and popcorn! Can’t wait to snuggle :)
My husband is my valentine. To my knowledge, we have no plans for tonight. He is a tax cpa and doesn’t get home much before 10 these days. I’m in my first trimester of pregnancy and going to bed before 9. So, we likely won’t even see eachother tonight. We do have plans to hang out with some friends tomorrow night, and hopefully we can celebrate this weekend.
I will be spending Valentines Day with my best friend and husband of almost 15 years and our precious daughter ~ I feel blessed!
My husband is my valentine and I may be making these cute mini pops tonight!!
These are amazing!!! Love the idea. Spending tonight with my family.
My husband and two sweet children are my valentines!
Super Cute! You have done it again. My wonderful husband is my Valentine. He works out of town, so we will have to celebrate later.
my valentines are my hubby and our 5 children! :) hubby and i bowl in a league together every thurs night – so tonight will be bowling night, then we will go out to dinner (just to two of us!) tomorrow night to celebrate. i LOVE these MINI pops.
My husband, Rick, is my Valentine.
My valentine is my 3 week old baby girl and my hubby :) we will spend the evening home as a new family of 3!
My valentine is my husband, of course, but we don’t have any plans. I’m not a big believer in Valentine’s Day, and I’m trying to be really good about what I eat right now, which means no Valentine’s Day treats for me.
My Valentine is my sweet husband of 14 years and our 3 beautiful boys! We plan to stay in and enjoy family time together:) LOVE your site and recipes!

Hi!
Well since my sis and I are both single we are going to dinner and then to see opening night of “Beautiful Creatures”!!! We’ll go watch a good romantic, witchy movie to celebrate the day of LOVE!!
My Valentine’s plans are to have a dinner (and dessert!) made by my wonderful boyfriend. I generally do the baking so I’m curious to see what he comes up with!
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! <3
I haven't made cake pops in awhile and this display really got me inspired again!
Oh my goodness, those tiny cake pops are too adorable! I am lucky to have 5 wonderful Valentine’s! The best husband in the world, 2 beautiful daughters (11 & 13), and my two handsome 6 yr old little guys! We are staying in, and I am making everyone’s favorite pasta dish for dinner, and we may bake some sugar cookies together later. Happy Valentine’s Day!
My valentine is my husband and 3 amazing children. My plans are to create a scavenger hunt for my children to lead them to their valentine candy.
We are playing Gin Rummy and making the Pioneer Woman’s fancy Mac-n-Cheese for dinner. Now I’m wishing I had been motivated to make a cute display for dessert!
I will be spending Valentine’s Day with my husband and two kids. I will prepare a special dinner of steak and a heart shaped brownies.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Spending Valentine’s day working but plan on celebrating friday night with my husband and sweet munchkin. Hope to try this idea out this weekend :)

These are the cutes things. I will have to try them for the next holiday. you could make any kind of theme you wanted really. It would be great for a child’s birthday and spell out there name and age :) I’ll be spending valentines home celebrating with friends. Hope everyone has a great day!
I still looking for that someone special to share my valentines day with…….
Me and my valentine, along with my 8-year-old little sister, will be having baking heart-shaped sugar cookies :)
My Valentine is my husband. We’ve been together since we were 15 years old. Through so many years we find ways to celebrate our love and appreciation for each other every day. So we skip the V-day madness and have a fancy dinner the week before or after actual Valentine’s Day.
My honey of 20 years is Billy. He has to work today at the country club where they are entertaining many a happy valentine. He will come home tonight after the Valentine Extravaganza tired and ready to sleep. I will dine with my valentiney kids and catch up on his day later.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
Having dinner with my family. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that!
Just hanging out at home with my hubby and enjoying a quiet night at home :)
My husband is working late and my oldest daughter has a date with her boyfriend… this year my Valentine will be my youngest daughter and we are making carnitas enchiladas and watching Downton Abbey… sweet night w/my sweetie!
How adorable! My husband is my valentine, but sadly I have to work late tonight, so our celebration will have to wait!
MY BOYFRIEND AND I ARE GONNA BE DOING A CIRCUS CLASS AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH FRIENDS! <3 THEN COME HOME AND CUDDLE
Celebrating with my children and their grandparents. We do this every Thursday for dinner – but tonight is extra special since it falls on Valentines Day. Happy Hearts!
I plan on spending my Valentine’s evening with my husband and 10-month old daughter Lucy! Spent the morning at the pediatrician’s office, then I had to go into work for the afternoon. I miss my sweeties! :(
I, gasp, actually have a guy on valentine’s this year! It’s crazy. I think we’re going to try to go to disneyland this evening, hoping the traffic won’t be insane. Gotta love LA!
Had an ultrasound and then lunch with my hubby. :) Tonight will be full of piano lessons,basketball practice and chocolate dipped strawberries!
My valentine is my boyfriend of 6 years. But tonight I’ll be giving my dog a bath. :)
My Valentine is my boyfriend, Jason. We are going to order Chinese food and watch the basketball game in our new home. We just moved in and are using the holiday as an excuse to take a break from packing.
My valentine is my boyfriend. I just moved to the city he lived in, and my house has a giant kitchen so we are cooking something fantastic tonight (not sure what, though).
My valentine is my husband of almost 31 years. We will be going to the gym tonight and to a nice restaurant this weekend. Although, nothing says love like an iPad mini!!
These are ADORABLE! I love mini anything and everything. My valentine is my husband. You actually met us both at one of the Cake Pops Holidays book signings!
My valentine would normally be my husband who is away at Army Basic Training. But since he is out of contact right now; it is my two dogs. We plan on an exciting night of Chinese food, renting a movie, dog treats (for the dogs) and maybe a little bit of chocolate for me. :)
HI AND HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL!
My valentine is my husband, Daniel. We will make dinner with our kids and then go out for dessert!!

My valentine is my husband. We will go to dinner with the kids because they are our loves too! Amazing job on those mini cake pops! They are too cute!
My husband is my valentine. :) My plans for today included your awesome Red Velvet Cake receipe, unfortunately I caught the flu, so I don’t feel very romantic today.
My husband and two babies are my valentine and we’re going out to eat, hopefully NOT with everyone else in the world though!
My Valentine is myself. I will be doing nothing special. Maybe I’ll order a pizza and indulge.
Hi and HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO ALL GOD BLESS!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Bakerella!
My valentine is my husband and three kids. Tonight is a movie and fleur de sel ice cream!
My hubby is my valentine! But he’s out of town… :( I’ll be making some yummy sweets to keep me company today.

My Valentine is my wonderful grandbaby who is 5 y. I will be spending my afternoon with her and we will be going to her favorite place “Chuck-E-Cheese”. I would love to win this so that I can regift it to her.
I love the cake pops! Almost as much as my hubby, Dave.

Love ya Bakerella !!
hi~ the mini cakes are super cute!
I am my own valentine :)
I am spending Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend of almost seven years. We’re going to make dinner together and watch Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It’s going to be great!
my valentines are my husband and kids. I bought the kids tulips and surprised them with them after school. I also participated in a sort of scavenger hunt for the kids at school- which was a total blast!
My Valentine is my husband, Scott. And our plans for today will be what they are every Thursday- pick up my daughter from school, take her to gymnastics, and eat dinner at home. Tomorrow though my daughter has a sleepover at a friends, so we will celebrate then!
Love the V-Day Minis! You could go crazy making pointilistic artsy cakes with the minis. Brava!
Thanks for your awesome inspiration, both cakepop-wise and life-wise.
Brava again.
Pam
My valentine is my husband of 31 years, he truly is my valentine! We will be firing up the grill this evening (even though we are under a winter storm advisory in my part of Michigan) and having filet mignon w/mushrooms, salad and strawberries & whipped cream! Yum! Wish I had a few cake pops to go with the strawberries! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!!
For Valentine’s Day I am going to go see A Good Day to Die Hard!
The mini cake pops are adorable, but I don’t know if I have enough patience to make a display like that. Kudos to you!
My Valentines are my teenage daughters, Laura & Linzee, and their amazing father. I am blessed beyond measure! LOVE these mini pops! So adorable. Happy V-day to YOU!
My Valentine is my granddaughter, Natalie. She’s seven so just being around her is fun without any special plans!!!
I will be at home spending a quite evening with my valentine of 14yrs, my valentine of 12yrs and my valentine of 7yrs. Ahh to be surrounded by love.
My Valentine is my boyfriend of six years. Unfortunately I will be working, and not much else since we are saving for a big trip this summer.
I have 2 valentines this year…my husband of 5 years and my 1 year old son! We will be celebrating by feasting on seafood and watching american idol! Happy Valentine’s Day! :)
My sweetie and I will be at home contemplating our new foster dog!
Hey! Love the cake pops!
My valentine is my fiance! We are counting down to the big day exactly 9 months today <3
Our plans are at 8pm – but still a surprise to me!
Hi Bakerella! No Valentine this year… But drinks and burritos are in order after work today. :)
I’m spending the day with my partner John, making home made sushi rolls and eating cake pops for dessert! Should be a yummy day! :)
This year I have two Valentines- my hubby and my sweet 7 month old son! We will probably order pizza. So romantic. ;)
My Valentine is my best friend. We’ve been married for 12 years and each year has gotten better! Tonight, we will be spending Valentine’s Day taking our 4 kiddos to swim practice. Romantic right? But for this season of our life, it’s perfect.
my valentine is my boyfriend. this year we’re long distance, so we wrote cards for each other. :) and… HI!!
I haven’t celebrated Valentine’s since high school…not a big fan of being told when to do something for my someone special. Too much pressure and not fair to the singles out there. I concentrate on my husband & daughter’s birthdays which are just days after Valentine’s Day. I consider the birthdays more important. (Have done little things for the kids classes and will continue with the grand kids.)
What I’m doing is watching the grand kids for a couple hours after work, like I do for every Thursday. Hubby will be doing singing Valentines with his barbershop quartet. (See Oddly Enuf videos on YouTube. I’m overdue uploading new ones online.)
Hi!! Love the mini cake pops, adorable! Your ideas inspire me for my own homemade treats :)
My valentine is my boyfriend (AKA Teddy Bear). I’m in charge of choosing where to go tonight, but I just cannot decide where!
Hi! No big plans over here…just eating everyone else’s chocolate! ;)
You have the best giveaways!
Italian takeout with the family.
My Valentine is my husband, and we plan on spending a quiet evening at home! :-) LOVE the mini cakepops!!!
My Valentine would be my husband, but we make a big enough deal out of our birthdays and anniversary that we don’t bother with Valentine’s Day. So my plan tonight is basically the same thing we do every night…try to take over…I mean watch back-to-back episodes of Buffy on Netflix.
My valentine is my newest baby nephew :)
Have a sweet Valentine’s Day! I’ll be taking my daughter to tennis lessons then a nice dinner at home with the family.
My husband is me valentine…we’re planning a late dinner in after the kids go to bed tonight.
We don’t really celebrate Valentines day.
My valentine is my husband — first married Valentine’s Day! Apparently, he’s taking me out to dinner tonight.
Soooo darn adorable!!! My valentines are my husband and kiddos!!!
Hi! I love your cakepops and how you’ve arranged them.
I haven’t planned anything special on valentinesday, but I always send a card to my two best friends. It’s a tradition for valentine to remember and cherish the wonderful friendship we have with eachother.
My husband and I are saving Valentine celebration for the weekend. He works long hours, and I’m in school, and it’s just too much to think about preparing something romantic on a weeknight.
My valentines this year are my kids (my son is 3 years and my daughter is 5 months). We had heart shaped pink pancakes (and chocolate) for breakfast and my son headed off to his first Valentine’s Day party at school. We’ll finish celebrating tonight with a family dance party (current kid favs are Pitbull and Alicia Keys) and conversation hearts (obviously).
My husband and our four kids are my Valentines. And, there has to be chocolate!
Just me. By myself. At home. Studying. Because of midterms.
But this looks fantastic!
My Valentine is my sweet boyfriend in Virginia…I’m in Florida :( It’s ok though because he had lunch and chocolate covered strawberries delivered to my office and we have a phone date at 9pm tonight :) It’s all in what you make of it…Happy Valentines Day!!
My husband is my forever valentine! In May we will celebrate our 27th anniversary.
