*Note: You can also use a frosting bag with a tip or even a plastic zip top bag with the corner snipped off. These cake pops don't require a lot of precision.
First you'll want melt the red candy melts. I do this in the microwave, starting with one minute, then doing it in 15 second increments as needed to get a completely smooth, melted coating. If you need help thinning your candy melts, check out this post on how to thin candy melts.
Dip your lollipop stick in the melted red candy and insert about halfway into the cake ball. Allow this to harden for a few minutes.
Cake Pop Cuties!
Carefully dip the cake balls entirely into the red candy. You want the candy deep enough to completely dip the cake ball without swirling it around much. The more you move it around, the more chance your cake ball will pull off the stick or break. After it's dipped, gently tap the hand holding it and allow any excess candy to drip off.
While the cake balls are hardening, roll out the black fondant and cut out the ladybug heads. I used the big end of any standard size frosting tip.
When you're ready to decorate, melt the black candy melts and pour them into the squeeze bottle. Start by piping a black stripe down the center of the cake ball.

I've done red ones a few times and recently I got do to do pink ladybug cake pops... so cute and fun!
If there's a ladybug party in your future, be sure to check out all of the ladybug parties/cakes I've done (not all of them have cake pops). Maybe you'll find some inspiration for your party! So, here they are:

In the past, we have made Love Bug Cookie Balls, but we wanted to make something that isn’t just for Valentine’s Day. These Cute Ladybug Cake Pops are fun all spring long. Bring them to parties, make them with the kids just because, use them as cake toppers, or add cake pop sticks so they look like they are flying around!
As I mentioned above, you can make this cute ladybug treat with cake or cookies. I usually use cookies, because it is faster and easier, but sometimes I use cake instead (so I can easily make them gluten-free). You can find basic recipes online (like this cake pops recipe or this no-bake cookie balls recipe).
Ladybug Cake Pops Recipe
Prepare your cake pops or cookie balls. Place them onto a parchment paper-covered baking pan and put them in the freezer or refrigerator, according to recipe instructions. This should be long enough that they will hold their shape for the next steps, but not so long that they completely freeze.
*Note: If you are adding cake pop sticks, you can attach those first (dip them into melted chocolate, insert them into the cake pops, then freeze/refrigerate them), or you can do this later.
Melt the candy melts according to the package instructions. Use the instructions on thinning the melted candy if needed, so your chocolate does not end up too thick.
Miraculous Tales Of Ladybug Edible Cake Topper
One by one, place the cake balls into the melted candy coating and turn them until coated. (Leave a small section at the bottom uncoated if you plan to add the cake pop stick at the end.)
Lift them out using a fork or candy dipping spoon, let the excess drip off, and carefully place them back onto the covered baking sheet.
If you are using black sugar pearls instead of the edible marker, add them at this point. Decide which side of the ladybug is going to be the body and sprinkle them on there, leaving the head area clear.
Ladybug Cake Pops
Place the cake balls back into the refrigerator or freezer until the candy coating hardens. If your house is not too warm, and you have the time, you may want to leave them to harden at room temperature.
While I prefer refrigerated cake pops, I find that the candy coating has a tendency to sweat (sometimes even become melty) once it returns to room temperature after being refrigerated, so consider this when deciding what to do.
One at a time, dip just the front bit of the cake pop into the black candy melt to give the little ladybug treat a head. You can hold them in your fingers for this, rather than using any special tools.
Ladybug Cake Bites
Before the candy coating hardens, add the candy eyes and sprinkle antennae. You can also add a pink or white sprinkle for a smile, if desired.
If you decide to put sticks in them at the end, do it now. Dip the sticks into some melted chocolate, then insert them into the bottom where you didn’t add candy coating. Refrigerate or freeze and let the chocolate harden so the stick won’t fall out.
Serve your Cute Ladybug Cake Pops on green cake plates with leaf napkins! Place them on top of a cake to decorate it. Serve them with our Ladybug Dirt Cups.
