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.

My Valentine is my wonderful husband, Mike. Today we spent time as a family and Mike made dinner for myself and our girls. :) Had a great day!
Happy Valentines to all!!! My husband and I plan to spend a nice quiet evening at home. Very cut mini cake balls. Will have to do that for my grandkids next year.
We’re doing a family thing this year for Valentine’s Day. I’m picking up a couple of heart shaped pizzas and then we’re going to see the new movie, Beautiful Creatures. Getting to spend the day with the people I love…priceless!!

My valentine is my husband and we already celebrated Valentine’s day last night! We like to try and avoid the craziness that comes on the actual day, and that lets us enjoy it even more! We went out to my favorite restaurant and had molten chocolate cake for dessert. Yum! Maybe when we stay in tonight we’ll make some of these mini cake pops…. but I’m not sure about making over 300! Good for you!
Super cute display of mini pops!!!
My Valentine is my awesome husband. We’re spending the night with our kids, but we plan to have a little date night out in a few weeks when our babysitters (the grandparents) get back into town.
My Valentines are my hubs, 2 sons and daughter. You can never have enough Valentines! My husband works all day, so the kids and I will be making cake pops (which we had planned on doing for weeks!) If I win, my boys will probably be sending you Valentines!
My Valentine is my husband and we are having lunch together today! And I made him a tiramisu.
My husband…it also happens to be our 9th wedding annivesary today. Happy Valentine’s Day!

My Valentines are my adoring husband, Jon, and my beautiful children: Drew and his wife Amanda (baby Ella who’s due in 4 weeks); Eric and his wife Sarah and my daughter Jamie. My husband and I will spend the evening at home while the kids all have their own plans. My daughter, her friend and I spent last night making heart cake pops for my husband and their boyfriends. Thank you for this idea and for giving my a chance to create more memories with my daughter. Also, thank you for the opportunity for the giveaway!
My valentine is my hubby! Not sure what we’re doing it’s usually pretty laid back! :)
I have a series of midterms coming up so the 14th will be spent doing university coursework!

Driving to Philly after work to spend the night with my valentines watching the Mighty Ducks! (They are my 14,11,and 9 year old cousins) :)
Valentine’s to me shouldn’t be just one day, i would prefer showering my husband and daughter with love everyday!

My valentine is my husband and best friend since I was 13. We will have a relaxed evening just hanging out and spending time together!
We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, especially since both my husband and oldest daughter’s birthdays are days after the 14th. I figure birthdays are more important.

My Valentine is my husband….and our valentines day plans? He’s heading to the lake for poker with his buddies and i’m heading up north to visit our daughter at college! But that’s ok, after 23 years of marriage we can handle a Valentine’s Day apart :). (Love the mini-cakepops!)
Just love your creations and your site. Too Cute!
No special plans for Valentine’s day. I will be spending the day with my family enjoying yummy treats and going to a basketball game.
If I wasn’t at college right now with no kitchen I would DEFINITELY be cooking with my mom some valentine treats for my loved ones. I remember we have made cookies and cakes for the past years and decorated them. This year I guess I am just going for lunch with a friend and having a job interview. So thats my valentines. But looking forward to getting home and making some cake pops with our new machine.
Happy Valentine’s Day! My valentine is my hubby Kevin and my two wonderful stepkids, Morgan and Connor. I surprised them all this morning with a fresh bakery donut and a handmade card and sprinkled the dining room table with hearts. I even whipped up a v-day bag for my 10 yr old stepson’s party at school today complete with a basketball hoop on it – all before 7 am. We plan to have chicken and rice for dinner and maybe go to a high school hockey game. Thanks for your fun blog and great photos. I tried to make cake pops once. You are true professional. Mine looked a little scary!
Mini cake balls, small but big idea! I can’t wait to try this out.
Sent valentines to widows and single friends I know to brighten their day.

Your cake pops are adorable!
I love my Valentine! He supports me and makes me feel special in so many ways. Happy Valentine’s Day!!
I have no Valentine this year, other than my dog!:)
I’m going to be in school, making a wedding cake…on valentines day..
Oh the irony:)
My Valentine is my boyfriend of almost 6 years. He works nights, so we moved our Valentine’s to Friday evening. We’re staying in this year and having dinner at his place. I’m going to make gnudi for the first time and hopefully not screw it up, and he’s going to make sure there’s plenty of wine. <3
My valentines are my husband and my three kids! Unfortunately, my husband is in L.A. and won’t be home. My kids and I are planning on making heart shaped mini meatloaves and having a movie marathon! Nothing beats a night at home with the kids!
My valentine is my sweet husband of almost 20 years (next month), Dwight. This year we went out to eat early (the 10th) to avoid the crowds and craziness AND, best of all, we made handmade cards for each other. TREASURE!
no plans for v-day here, though I do consider my 14 year old daughter to be my valentine :) Love the mini cake pops!

My hubby & 6-year old are my sweeties..I’ll be at CrossFit tonight and my hubby will be with our sweet girl taking her to gymnastics…nothing romantic, just good old group effort to get her in the right place…Everyday is <3 for our family, not just on Valentine's Day.
Thank you for your continued inspiration and creative goodness!
I have two valentine’s this year. My husband and our gorgeous six month old daughter!!!! I’m so excited for her first valentines day!!
Hanging out at home with my best friend and husband on our 25th Valentines Day together. Love him more every day!
Love those mini pops!! :)
My valentine is my wonderful boyfriend, Ryan. Today we are just going to have a nice home cooked dinner (I’m thinking ill surprise him and do the cooking since he usually does), but will be going on a nice little love trip this weekend to Pittsburgh to see our first ballet, Moulin Rouge. I’m so excited!!
Happy Valentines Day!
My valentine is my husband!
I will be spending Valentine’s Day with my wonderful husband enjoy a quite dinner and evening at home.
Love the mini cakes! I went just the opposite and made giant decorated cookies for my valentine! Happy valentines day!!
my hubby and we’re making sushi like always
it’s been too long since i’ve made cake pops. these are adorable! i’d have to either do them after bedtime or have a toddler covered in melted candy :)
we are just going to love on each other today. and buy half price candy tomorrow . LOL
I’ll be visiting my newly married daughter in Denver on Valentines Day and we will go out to a special dinner. She moved to Colorado from Texas and we miss her.
My 11 yr old daughter is my valentine. She made Cookie Dough Cake pops for her BFF’s – they don’t get to circulate valentines in class in Middle School. She was so bummed, she decided to create mini valentines for her friends that she sits with at lunch. She took the Cookie Dough Cake Pops and put them in small Chinese Take Out Boxes – so creative. She loves all your creations, as do I and we usually attempt them together. This one will be saved for Mother’s Day. We can make it for her Grammie. Thanks for all the inspirations! Happy Valentines Day!
Spending valentine’s day with my hubbie and 2 boys. We’re going out to a “surprise” restaurant because Mom shouldn’t cook on Valentine’s Day!
I dont have that special someone right now. So my Valentine is my mom. she’s always there for me. I love her so much!
My boyfriend is my Valentine but he coaches high school hockey and has a game tonight.
Just with some steaks and the hubby and kids. We have a couples massage planned for this weekend, not because we were trying to be extra lov-ey but because then we could both get it done with less child care time involved!
So cute, but so crazy to make 350!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
It will be quiet evening at home since my honey has to work tonight, and I am just getting over the flu. Thank you Bakerella for sharing your talents with us!
My valentine for the past 25 years is my precious husband! We’ll have dinner at home with our kids (most of them!) – it will be spinach lasagna rolls and a heart shaped chocolate chip cookie for dessert! Right after dinner the hubby and oldest son will be off to church to set up for a yard sale this weekend – the commitments never end!
Hanging out with my handsome son . It’s our last Valentine’s Day before he is in the Navy.
Just saying hi! For the 14th, I am going to work. I don’t have a squeeze as in a husband or boyfriend. Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter to win the iPad mini!
My Valentine is my wonderful husband! We will be celebrating this weekend instead of today. Hopefully going to a nice dinner with no kids. I am VERY pregnant right now (2 weeks left to go) so we don’t have any getaway plans or anything, but just a nice dinner out with my Beloved would be nice. We are going to get my daughters ears pierced today for her gift (her idea). Happy Valentine’s Day to you! And thanks for such a great giveaway.
I have made mini ones before, but never on a tooth pick, I have this tiny little ice cream scoop, so now, now I need to make them again and put them on toothpicks! I also would love and Ipad:)
My Valentine is my hubby Brett and we are going out for an Italian dinner tonight. :)
My wonderful husband is my Valentine. =o] We didn’t do anything for the 14th this year, but we are planning a trip to Disneyland, and plan on having a romantic dinner while there for Valentine’s Day. Who says you can’t celebrate a little late!
This is my first Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend who also happens to be my best friend for 6 years. We don’t have any plans today since I have school from 8-5:30. He is making me dinner tonight and tomorrow we’re going out to dinner.
Oh man I hope I can win this! I’ve been wanting to get an ipad for school for ages!
My two little boys, ages 5 and 8. Dad is out if town, so I am taking them to Friendlys and letting them (and me) have ice cream for dinner!
you never cease to amaze me with your ideas! This is a great idea…our family will be celebrating with lovely treats for the holiday! Thank you for your ideas. Many blessing for those magic hands.
