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.

  57. My husband is in the military and was not home this year for Valentine’s Day. He’s not deployed… this time, just some training in another state. He will be deployed NEXT valentine’s day too.

  76. My little valentine help make crab cakes for daddy but most importantly we made daddy chocolate covered strawberries and rice crispie treats!!!

  77. Aloha Bakerella,
    H?u?oli l? ku?uipo! Happy Valentine’s day! This valentines day will be spent with my three loves. The Army has called my husband to be away for a short time so it’s just the kids and I. We have decorated the whole house and have been planning a hopefully quiet dinner at home while watching a movie. Since I’m a pastry chef dessert is always the first to be planned. We love to have fun and always try new things so there will be a mini chocolate fountain and lots of fresh fruit in the mix. Then we will do it all over again when daddy returns home. Who says you have to only celebrate the ones you love once a year? Mahalo nui loa ,thank you very much, for a lot of inspiration and just having fun with doing what you love.
    Me kealoha pumehana,
    Kiana

  101. I had a “drive-by” valentine and I smiled just as big! My boyfriend has a 13 hour work day and a slow ride home. He pulled in my driveway with roses and daisies because he didn’t want me to forget that he loves me. I stole an extra kiss from him and he went home to sleep. It was better than any crowded restaurant.

  164. I celebrated Valentine’s with the little loves of my life…my kids! We have a tradition of yarn mazes for each of them with a treat at the end. It twists and turns throughout our house over three levels, even outside. Valentine’s is our favorite holiday!

  165. My valentines are my friends! We all went out to dinner.

  177. Since my husband is out of town, my valentine was my dog, McFly, and we had pork tacos for dinner.

  178. I had an evening class and then came home and had dinner with my family. It was a great evening.

  179. My boyfriend is currently abroad, so sadly I spent Valentine’s day by myself! :(

  180. Hi! No Valentine :( Spent the day working late. Boo.

  181. My valentine, or should I say Valentines were my kids. I spent the afternoon at the Hockey rink with my 17 and 5 year old watching my 17 years old high school team play. they won 4-1, she scored a hat trick Yeah, and then it was practice later that night for her travel team. Not to mention, waking up on the 15th at 4:00 a.m. to take her to practice, yet again for the high school.

    I am thinking this would be a great idea to do and make it look like a hockey rink for her team. The white pops for ice, and then the blue lines, and red face off circles.

  182. My valentines are my husband, daughter and baby girl #2 due any day!! :) Dinner and a movie in are about as much as I can do these days. Hope your Vday was lovely!

  183. My valentine is my husband and we were home with sick kids on V day. If I win this, I will be gifting it to my parents so we can Face Time with them!

  184. My Valentine’s plans…I stayed in and enjoyed the frosted sugar cookies I’d made the day before (I also shared some with a neighboor as a thank you for watching my pooch.) :-) Some simple downtime can be so wonderful.

  185. Those mini cake pops are so cute!!!! Cake pop genius!

  186. I have two Valentine’s – my husband of 5 years and our little baby girl, Lily who is almost 4 months old. We spent a quiet night at home :).

  187. I have 2 Valentines…my husband of 17 years and my sweet daughter who is 9 years old. They are my whole reason for being and I keep them closest to my heart. <3

  188. I didn’t have any plans, but when I got home from work there was steak ready and waiting! My valentine is my fiance, but he’s just a close second to my kitty.

  189. Grandma and I began our Valentine celebration by taking our three little Valentines to our local cupcakery for sweet treats! Then daddy joined the family for pizza and a movie night :)
