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.

Full of heart.

I still can’t wrap my head around how we got here… We lived fairly close to each other and had several friends in common for years before even meeting. Years!

  92. My Valentine is my Fiance’. We have been together almost 3 years and never been able to spend Valentine’s Day together, because of our long-distance relationship. This year he made a way, and we were able to spend the whole afternoon together!

  100. My partner of six-and-a-half years is my valentine, although we don’t do much in the way of ‘tradition’; no flowers, no cards, no dates, nothing fancy and saccharine. We’d planned to go see the new Die Hard film on the evening of the 14th but unfortunately I had to work (I’m a theatre tech) so instead we’re having a night in tonight (15th) with cake and pyjamas. Heaven!

    It would be great to win an iPad mini; such a nifty little thing! :)

  104. My hubby is my valentine and this year we made a box of pre-arranged and pre-paid dates to be opened once a month for 12 months!

  105. Love your blog! My husband and my son tie for favorite valentine.

  106. My valentines are my kids. The youngest is now 18 but they are still a riot to be around. Tonight my five sons will be here and I’ll be giving them the heart cookies we made the other day. Pure joy! I love this post, btw. So many cake pops would definitely be a hit for a crowd. I’ll have to try this next Valentine’s Day!

  113. Happy belated Valentine’s day! My valentines are my loving husband and wonderful two kids :)

  114. My Valentine’s Day plans were supposed to be spending the evening with my boyfriend. We were going to make the same meal we had on our first date together, Shrimp and Garlic Sauce, (yum!) and then play Mario Kart and watch movies. But his work schedule changed, so I spent my night cleaning my room and separating out stuff to throw away and to donate. Maybe I’ll get to see him tonight!

He lives in San Francisco and I live in tracy so i made him some brownies and peanutbutter cookies as well as some cupcakes all decorated with hearts and “I LOVE YOU” some balloons and a card i got a bit carried away with and made and essay lol. We went out to dinner, and later on he went back home. It was a wonderful valentines day! One of a kind!!!

  130. My husband spent yesterday taking care of me and a terrible cough I’ve managed to catch…he is definitely the best Valentine ever. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  131. My Valentine was one of my closest friend. I sent her a text message photo of a toast and a crinkle since we currently live in different cities because of school. I didn’t have much a plan yesterday other than go to class, so I just met up with a cousin of mine afterward. However, we plan on making some red velvet truffles later!

  141. My boyfriend of 2 years was my valentine yesterday. We watched, “A Good Day to Die,” and went to a nice Korean restaurant. We ordered so much food that filled the whole table! What made it special was being together since we’re in a long distance relationship.

  142. Hi!
    I love these mini cake pops!

  143. My valentine was my best friend. We celebrated by dressing up and having dinner together, it was lovely.

  145. My valentine is my husband of 5 years and our 16-month-old baby girl! We actually spent it celebrating my father-in-law’s birthday. It was a great day of love! :)

  146. Oh my!!! That is one beautiful display but I definitely wouldn’t have the patience to dip that many cake balls! You are amazing!! My valentine this year (and every year) was my handsome husband, Brian. He is currently in medical school so I made him a yummy dinner of butternut squash penne pasta and salad with strawberry hearts! For dessert I made a peanut butter pie that tastes like a giant Reese’s piece (his favorite candy!) After dinner we watched a movie and drank champagne. I thought the movie Valentine’s Day was fitting! :) If I happen to win this iPad mini it’ll be a perfect gift for him! He’s been wanting one!

  147. out to dinner with my husband.

  148. I spent Valentine’s with ny husband and 2 kids. We made breakfast for dinner and watched Rango.

    Have a blessed day!!!!!

  150. I got to spend the day with my Grandblessings. My Grandson’s preschool Valentine’s Day in the a.m. and My Grandaughter’s party in the p.m. Had lunch with my boys (My Honey and my Grandson). It was the perfect day that anyone could have asked for. ( I even made & gave away cake pops to all of my co-workers the day before (45 of them) because I had the day off for Valentine’s Day)

  151. My valentine is Keith and we went out for a nice dinner :)

  152. My Valentines were my husband of 5 years and my one year old little guy. We had Thai food take-out for dinner followed by chocolate covered strawberries (for mommy and daddy) and plain raisins (for the kiddo) for dessert.

  153. My valentine is my husband! We will be celebrating our 7th Anniversary soon! It’s gone by so fast!

  154. My valentine is my fantastic husband! I made a yummy dinner and had fruit and chocolate fondue for dessert.

  155. My Valentine was my husband and we spent the whole day together – no kids tagged along. It was rare, wonderful & tons of fun. We went to lunch (Valentine’s dinner is nuts), did some wandering around a new town and then went home and just relaxed for the afternoon – put some old movie on the TV and just sat. It’s something we never get to do alone let alone together and it was wonderful!!!!

  156. My mom & dad were my Valentines this year. So thoughtful the two of them :o)

  157. We didn’t do anything at all as I spent hours (yes hours) at the tile store. My sweetie is so understanding! Even better, he is picking the tile up for me today.

  158. My Valentine’s are my hubby and kids. In the middle of a busy week full of birthdays and basketball playoffs, Valentine’s Day was our only free night, so we ordered a pizza and spent the evening at home together.
