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.

  89. Fifteen years ago on Valentine’s Day, my now husband, asked me out on a date for that night via IM. As I had been single for many years, I made alternative plans to spend it with my mother. I responded back that I had plans and received no follow up for potential date. After five minutes, I IM’d him back, “I’m free next weekend.” Well, as we have been married for nearly 11 years, that was the best Valentine’s Day ever.

    Since then, we don’t go out, but take turns cooking a delicious gourmet meal for each other and our son, exchange cards and candy and call it a night. Reason being, our anniversary is the following month and for us a more important time for celebrating our love for each other.

Valentines was spent in my kids classes @ school, conferences, & home w/ my family. The cake pops were classic cake pops as well as heart shaped all dipped in milk or white chocolate or pink candy coating w/ sprinkles. I put them in little lollipop bags & tied them w/ pink ribbons. Family (sister, nieces & kids) all got CAKEPOPS. My sister , brother in law & husband got chocolate peanut butter truffles. I had posted pics on facebook :). It was a sweet valentines day.

To top it all off he brought my mom flowers as well and the sweetest card. He wanted to make sure she knew how much she was loved and appreciated as well since she doesn’t have a valentine of her own. My boyfriend said she didn’t have to worry because he would be her valentine every year :) I would have loved to make this cake “dot” display for him!!! Perhaps for another occasion when I have time! Thanks for always posting the best ideas!

  149. The hubs, 4 kids, and I spent V day dinner eating heart-shaped pizza on heart plates. Then the 2 of us got to go out for a little sweet dessert.

  153. I don’t have a Valentine this year … so it was Single Awareness Day for me! LOL
    But, I guess with the economy, there weren’t nearly as many flowers & goodies delivered at work to others. Sad for them.
    The day BEFORE Valentines was great for me and my daughter. We visted your favorite store — Cake Art — and had a blast! Went in to “look around”, spent $72. :)

  154. My Valentine is my husband of 24 years, Troy. On Valentine’s Day, I was the room mother for our fourth grader’s party, so I pretty much came home and collapsed on the couch with an extra nine year old boy careening and screaming around the house. It was very romantic.

  155. My Valentine is my husband and we spent a lovely Valentine’s lunch at the Presidio Social club. It was very romantic and ended with beignets dipped in creme. Delicious!

  179. My valentines are my family- 3 children and wonderful husband of over 15 years. We had a very relaxing night at home!

  180. My Valentine is my boyfriend of 4 months, who sadly lives far away from me in Australia. We planned on an all day for each of us Skype-date with movies and games but was sadly put on hold when his grandmother broke her arm, on top of him getting called into work last minute.

  181. My valentine is my amazing fiancé! Valentines day is so busy! We’re planning on a date night tomorrow and just spending all of our time together! I’m very lucky!

  182. My Valentine’s consisted of me and my daughter because my husband was at school that night. It was still a great night and because our wedding anniversary is coming up, we plan on celebrating both later. :)

  183. Turkey meatloaf with the family and inlaws. Nothing says I love you like a big ol’ meatloaf.

  192. I made her red velvet cake pops that i place in heart shaped molds.. plus! (i didn’t know it would work) instead of forming balls, i filled an 8 oz. jar with the red velvet and frosting mixture and topped it with white chocolate ganache. :)
