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.

  2. My Valentine is my adoring husband John.
    Our plans (which he organised) were to have an evening meal in a fancy restaurant which he booked for this Saturday, however, he got his dates mixed up and we went last week. When the lady kept saying the booking was for the 16th he argued that it was for the 9th, after we were seated he confessed he had his dates wrong and we were supposed to go on the 16th! We had a lovely time and he also bought me an amazing dress. He is a keeper! Although he needs a diary :-)

  161. I spent Valentine’s Day with my husband. We stayed in and cooked a nice dinner. Best Valentine’s Day yet! Hope yours was great as well!

  162. My Valentine was going to be my best friend Mary, but unfortunately she ended up having a family crisis, so we just decided not to do anything. So my little brother sort of became my Valentine when he brought me home my favorite cookies, the Lofthouse frosted sugar cookies. So sweet. :)

  163. my hubby and I are having our first night out since our new baby was born!

  164. My Valentine is my hubby… although my adorable 4 month old nephew is a close second. We plan to try out a new restaurant this weekend.

  165. No big plans, just hanging out at home together.

    T.

  166. Sooo cute!!!! My Valentine is my husband and two kids. We had a nice evening of pizza and playing the Wii.

  167. My dog, Cooper. He’s an 8 lb., 9 year old Pomeranian. No, he’s not sweet. He considers himself King of the Castle and wants to be carried — a lot. I do have humans I also love but if I chose one then I might hurt someone else’s feelings. I love you Bakerella! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

  168. My 2 Valentine’s are my wonderful husband and my sweet little 20 month old daughter :o)

  169. What an awesome prize! My valentines were my hubby and my 7 month old son. We didn’t have any exciting plans except to get in our pjs have a pizza and some wine. It was nice and relaxing!

  170. Every day is valentine’s day with my husband of 41 years! I Love the mini cake pops and so will my grandkids!

  171. My valentines were my students. I spent the day teaching and in the evening, I participated in my annual V-Day ritual, which is ongoing regardless of my relationship status – eating something with lots of chocolate involved and watching Down with Love.

  172. My valentine is my husband ian. i made treats and we had a dinner at home. simple and fun. i would love this! yay!

  173. i took myself downtown to see the new frida and diego exhibit at the high in atlanta. it was amazing. if anyone has the chance to, i highly recommend going!

  174. Hi Bakerella!

  175. We celebrated my grandaughter’s first birthday!

  176. This is adorable! I could totally use this for a baby shower I’m throwing in April! My valentines were my husband and my one year old little man.

  177. I had an amazing time with my valentine at a restaurant in Paris :)

  178. I’m working this Valentine’s, so no plans for me…

  179. My valentine is my husband. We don’t really do anything for the holiday beside leave cute/silly notes for each other. I left him a big post-it note heart on the bathroom mirror.

  180. My valentine was my fiance, we just spent the night in, together. And ate some fancy chocolate.

  181. My Valentine is my husband of 25 years. Unfortunately, we had to attend a viewing for the father of one of his partners who passed away on Monday. But afterward, we were able to spend some time together for a quick bite to eat at a restaurant that my nephew manages – and he sat us by the fireplace.

  182. Will recreate this idea using a hello kitty template :) wonderful idea. Spent my Valentine’s Day watching movies & The Big Bang Theory.

  183. My valentines is me! You need to treat yourself once in a while. I made these lovely cake pops but a bit bigger. Yum

    Hope you hade a great day x

  184. My valentine is my 5 year old and we spend the evening dancing to Just dance 4…she was having a blast (on school night)

  185. My valentines are and have always been my girls. Every year we decorate the house together. And I make them pink sprinkle pancakes with strawberries for breakfast. And then we have something red for dinner, plus chocolate for dessert. Who can forget the chocolate??

  186. My valentine is my husband Greg. And we stayed home and I made his favorite dinner of ribs, grilled pineapple and smashed grilled potatoes.. We had lovely quiet evening and exchanged cards!

  187. My husband and 2 little daughters are my Valentine. They bring smiles to my face everyday!!!

  188. I wish I could make those! They look so cute. I made heart shaped mini cakes, which I hoped would turn out red but actually turned out pink! Oh well. I’ll just have to keep trying.

  189. My Valentines are my kids!

    We spent the day in our PJ’s and made heart shaped food!

  190. I had 3 Valentines- my husband and my 2 girls. My 2 year old gave me a big squeezie hug when she got home and told me, “You are my Valentine mama.” :o) Love!

  191. Spending a night away this weekend with the hubs. Much needed break from the 2 year old and 3 month old. =)

  192. My valentine is my fabulous hubby and darling kiddos. We had a V-day party with my little girl and her 2 friends, and after putting our kiddos to bed hubby and I had a stay home date.

  193. My valentines are my husband and sweet almost-one-year-old boy. Our plans were actually to both be working, but we ended up having to stay home because both my valentines had gotten a stomach bug : (

  194. My valentine is my daughter and a few years ago we started making it our tradition to go to Nashville and eat lunch/dinner at Rainforest Cafe and go to Build-A-Bear Workshop. She loves and I believe the day she looks most forward to other than her birthday or Christmas. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  195. My plans included writing a midterm in the morning and then studying all night for another midterm :) quite the fun time.

  196. This is adorable. YOu are so clever! I am blessed to have two valentines. My hubs and son. Love them both!!
