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.

I love seeing all your amazing ideas, thanks and happy valentine’s day!!
My sweetheart and I are taking the kids to the circus! Fun night with the three most special men in my life!
My Valentine is my beau of 18 years and husband of 15. We are going to have a nice, relaxing dinner at home with our teenager.
Are you serious? You slave away making such a sweet display and then give something away? Crazy! Get off those feet and enjoy today!
My valentines are my husband, my children and grandchildren and my parents. We had a lovely dinner on Sunday to celebrate because the week is so hectic. Thank you for sharing in such great detail your creative ideas. I volunteer at a bakery that supports a ministry and your ideas always inspire me to make something fun for the bakery!
I try to spend Valentine’s Day with my wonderful hubby of over 15 years. However, with 3 kids and all their activities I usually just try to make a nice dinner for all of us, complete with chocolate covered strawberries. Then if we’re lucky we celebrate on the weekend with a night out.
Unfortunately I am working, but I married a good man who supports me in that area. We’ll go out to dinner tomorrow night when it won’t be so crazy. Or expensive.
All those mini cake pops look delicious! I may have to try and make them. My husband is my valentine. This will be our 3rd Valentine’s Day as a married couple.
Love the display!! So cute! Going to spend my valentines day working out and making cake pops.
My valentine is my husband and new baby girl who is almost 3 weeks old!!
Well today my valentine will be probably Sir Hershey and Mars, since they’re just so sweet to me! I’ll also be going to a Singles Awareness day party!
Loving my family.
my valentine is my husband of 10 years who I am lucky to have in my life.
My wife and I really enjoy looking at your new creations every week. Keep them coming!!
What a cute display! Thanks for sharing!
My valentine today is my sweet husband. We’re going to have a low-key dinner out and then come back home and make chocolate covered strawberries together. Not the same as 350 mini cake pops… but it’s something! :-)
I just love your cake pop ideas! This is grand! I plan on giving my hubby and daughter some candy later today after work and school. Oh…along with lots of hugs and kisses…the real ones of course!!!! :) Happy Valentine’s Day! Thanks for a chance to win that amazing prize!
U inspire me everyday to try something new! I bet this can also work with mini cupcakes too! Love it! And happy valentine’s day!
These are so cute, Angie!
My Valentine is my husband of 14 years. We’ll be spending a special evening together tonight (after calling my mom…she and my father would have celebrated their 60th anniversary today).
I’m going to lunch with my valentine (my husband) today while our kids are at school because he works 2nd shift. Then tonight my son, daughter, and I are making heart-shaped homemade pizza for dinner. That’s what they decided on last night. Oh, and decorated the kids bedroom doors with hearts last night so they woke up with “heart attacks” today!.
I love that you show love with your cake pops! They’re awesome. Thanks.
My valentine is my husband and 2 yr old son. It’s his first valentines day party at daycare.
My husband is my Valentine! We’re having dinner at home…my favorite – spaghetti! Your mini cake pop display is delightful!!
My husband is out of town so I am spending valentines day with my awesome kids!

Love the mini cake pops! I am so blessed to have a house full of Valentines! First there’s my husband and then our three kiddos! I have a surprise scavenger hunt waiting for the kids right now. :)
I’ll be going to my kindergartener & 1st graders Valentines class parties this afternoon and then coming home to make Tortellini Alfredo, salad, and brownies for dessert! Hubby is 4 wheeling with friends for the afternoon so I’m hoping to grab a movie after dinner when the kids go to bed!! Hi :)

Bakerella is the best!
My Valentines are my husband and kids. Love your creativeness. It always puts a smile on my face!
I’m single so I don’t have a valentine. Therefore: Hi :D!
I am always amazed at your creations and your photography is beautiful! My sweetie will be traveling today, so I’ll probably be watching tv alone tonight!
My husband will be flying home tonight from a business trip in San Francisco – so I guess my Valentine date will be taking our son to basketball practice!!!

My valentine is my husband and we started the day with some homemade blueberry lemon scones!
My Valentine is my hubby, Brian, and thus far we have no Valentine’s plans. Between him trying to finish up his degree while working and me taking care of our two littles and teaching Jazzercise, we just haven’t managed to find a good time and a babysitter. Maybe we’ll manage to meet for lunch today between things.
My husband. He’s just getting back from a business trip, so I’ll be waiting with a bottle of prosecco and a yummy dinner. :)
My valentine is the boy I met when I was 15. Here we are 21 years later and still as much in love as ever. I love the beauty of your creations! Inspires me!
What works of art!!!!
My husband. I am showering him in chocolate and having a candlelight dinner at home with our three kids. :)
My Valentine is my lovely Husband Kevin…we got engaged 15 years ago today! I thought we were just giving cards today but the florist came with a beautiful bunch of flowers first thing.

My valentine is my amazing hubby! We get to see our littlest valentine today with a 3D ultrasound!!
My Valentine is my boyfriend, who is working a 12 hour shift today. When I got home last night at 10 from a way-too-long meeting, chocolates, flowers and a hand written poem were waiting for me. Luckily I had left him homemade “tortellini of love” on the counter for dinner. Tonight I’ll make him dessert, which we never have… Maybe something a little quicker than 350 mini cake pops though!
My valentine is and has been for 9 years, yep my hubby. Because I just had surgery and spend 2 weeks in the hospital and have a few procedures and and another big surgery coming up, we are planing in watching movies all day while our kiddos are at school. My husband is 100% medically retired from I juries sustained on his 3rd tour in Iraq som I’m fortunate to have my best friend with me almost daily.
My husband and daughter are my Valentines! My daughter and I are making a molten chocolate cake for dessert and my hubby is making us dinner. Sounds like a perfect Valentine’s Day to me. Thanks for the doing the giveaway!
My Valentine is my husband. We’re staying in and drinking champagne and eating chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting!
My hubby and kids of course. Today, hopefully finishing up our state audit at work, then a nice family dinner at home.

My Valentine is my sweet husband of six years, who first told me he loved me on a Valentine’s Day.
My husband and I always do valentine’s day in to avoid crowds.. We do a DIY Korean BBQ night!
My valentine is my wonderful husband but we won’t get to celebrate until Friday. Probably dinner and a movie…low key!
I’m kinda bummed that we don’t have plans. Kinda bummed that we don’t celebrate Valentine’s in a bigger way. We’ll exchange cards. I’ll give my husband a box of chocolates. But, if I get too bummed, I just think about how every day of the year is the best day with him. I am thankful to have him here by my side making every day a “love”ly day. <3
Hi! =D
I have to work today/tonight, so my husband I will go out to dinner this weekend. He’s taking me to a Japanese Steakhouse. It’s my absolute favorite food and I can’t wait! Yay!
Those are darling valentines cake pops! I’m blessed with three valentines: my husband and two sons.
Hi!
Today I made a valentine’s day poster with my 2yo boy,
made chocolate and raspberry cupcakes (with rosewater icing) with aforementioned 2yo and his 5yo brother. We then had dinner with their dad (my fella for 14 years). It was fajitas, not romantic, but cooked with love and I even put rose petals from our garden into our ice cubes!
Happy Valentine’s Day! My Valentine is my husband! We’re going to make a special dinner and hang out with our 3 year old son…then do a date night this weekend.

Super cute minis!! No big plans for the day but making a special dinner for the family!
My lovely husband – we did our Valentine’s treat last week to beat the crowds though.
This “mini” V-Day idea is adorable! You’re so creative, thanks for sharing this with us! My Valentines this year are my wonderful husband (who spent all of this past weekend shoveling us out from under 24″+ snow) and my sweet nephew (he’s 18 months old and a blessing!). My husband and I plan to go out for a quick dinner and then enjoy a bottle of wine while watching Skyfall.
My Valentine is my husband Reuben. We have been together for 8 years and married for 3 of those years come April. This weekend I’m going to bake him mini cherry pocket pies so he can enjoy them for several weeks.
Hi
My husband is my Valentine. When we first stated dating, we were jobless college kids, so for our first Valentine dinner, we had chili cheese dogs and mac and cheese. It’s definitely a dinner I don’t think anyone else would think of for this day, so we’ve made it our own tradition and have the same thing every hear.
My valentine is my husband! This will be our first one together since we started dating last May. We’ve been married for almost 5 months now! :) my plan is raspberry red velvet cupcakes…
My valentine is my amazing hubby! We won’t be celebrating today bc we will be out delivering valentine cake pops all day!! Yum!
Hubby and I are going out to lunch (without the kiddos)! I also made sugar cookie hearts to share with my other three little valentines.
Wow! Thats a lot of cake pops!!!! I <3 mini cake pops! My Valentines are my wonderful and loving husband and my smart and funny 7 year old son. My are my life! We plan to have a fun family dinner at my son's favorite restaurant.
My valentine is my amazing hubby! We won’t be celebrating today bc we will be out delivering valentine cake pops all day!! Yum!
You have the most wonderfully creative ideas!
My valentines are my husband, daughter, son, and puppy. It’ll will be a quiet night at home for us tonight.
My Valentine is my dear husband…..and our two children. Hubby and I can’t do anything today…but my plan is to bake him his favorite cake and give my kids their valentine’s goodies. I might just make it mini-goodies this year! These are def super cute!
My valentines will be spent baking cupcakes and cheesecakes for my startup catering business. After 5 when all my orders will be delivered i’m going to have a small party with my co-workers
So cute! I’ll be celebrating with the kids tonight, lots of red and pink foods for dinner!
I actually have 3 valentines…1) my one true love, my husband James 2) my oldest son Ben 3) my youngest son Brayden. I have no plans for valentines day because my husband will be working late today. We went out last night to miss the crowds and frustration at restaurants tonight…
Hi! My valentines are my family. :)
My Valentine is my husband.
As he is on nightshift this week I baked some sweetheart muffins for him and placed them on the table so he has seen them this morning.
love, Marina
Seriously cute! Those would be perfect for a den meeting or scouts or whatever. :) My Valentines are my 4 year old daughter and 8 year old son and of course the love of my life, my husband! My daughter and son were just so thrilled with a tin of M &M’s and a Target giftcard that they woke up to this morning. My daughter said I was her best gift ever! :) (Guessing dad will hear it too, when she sees him after work). Wishing you an amazing Valentine’s Day!
Hi! :)
My Valentines are my kids so tonight I think I’ll take them out to dinner as a treat <3
P.S. great job on those mini pops!

Love this!! I stayed up baking your mini puppy & panda cupcakes for my son’s party at school. That’s what I’ll be doing today, then home to spend the night with my sons & hubby! Thanks for the inspiration!!
My hubby is my valentine! We are celebrating with a mini trip at end of the month. The 14th will be full of kids activities.
I’ll be working till 10 PM, but get a rain check for Friday night!
My valentine this year is not only my husband of 9 years, but also my new baby boy! So excited to have a little boy to love after three girls!! We are having a quiet dinner together after the girls have gone to bed.
My husband and kids! We are having dinner together tonight and then on Saturday hubby and I are going on a date, full of good food and good company!
my valentine is my wonderful hubby of 7 years;) we plan to spend the day at home:) bc our great dane is getting fixed today and we have a new puppy
No Valentine for me. And I work all night, but at least I can look forward to all the candy going on clearance!
I’ll be working since I’ve been sick for a week, but NEXT week we’ll do Valentine’s day!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you!
Valentine is a secret! :) love the minis…very cute. I made 50 cake pops last night, I can’t imagine 350!! Happy V Day!
Wonderful cake pop concept! My valentine and I are having a quiet night at home with a nice homemade dinner and dessert of course!!
My husband is my valentine! I also always like to get my kids a little something.
Oh these mini ideas are too cute! And I bet you could replicate the pattern idea for any holiday – St. Patty’s with a four leaf clover, Easter with a colorful egg or a bunny…etc! Super super cute!
This Valentine’s Day my Valentine is my husband – our first V-Day as husband and wife. We like to be silly and simple…last year we went to the candlelight dinner at Waffle House all dressed up…this year we’re doing the same – except am hoping he’ll be willing to wear his Seersucker suit from our wedding day. :o) We even had to call ahead and get reservations!
Bakerella, hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s day – thanks for adding ANOTHER super cute idea for me to add to my crafty list! :o)
I wish I had the patience to make these – Happy Valentines Day!
