How To Make Valentine'S Day Cake Pops

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, meaning love is in the air and your cake pops. Make a batch of these cuties and gift to your sweet-toothed sweetheart.

Mash up a baked cake (you can use any recipe you love) and combine with buttercream. For every 2 cups of cake, use 1 tablespoon buttercream. Adjust this ratio as needed until you have a doughy consistency.

Melt the red candy melts into a small bowl. Dip one tip of a lollipop stick into the candy melts and push it into the bottom of your heart. Repeat for every cake pop and place them in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.

Once chilled, remove the cake pops from the freezer and let them sit for a few minutes. Dip each one into the candy melts, allowing any excess to drip off, then place in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to dry. Try to make this candy base smooth for decorating.

Roll out white fondant with the rolling pin and ⅛” guide rings. Use the round piping tip #12 to cut out four circles. Then roll out black fondant in the same way, and use the round piping tip #7 to cut out four circles.

Pro Tip: To make it seem like your cake pops are looking at each other (and totally falling in love), glue the pupils of each pair on opposite sides of the white circles.

Dip a toothpick in white soft gel paste and dab it onto the edges of the black circles to give your eyes a bit of life.

Roll out light blue fondant with the rolling pin and wooden dowels as guides. Cut out two circles with the bottom of piping tip #7. Shape the circles into ovals and pinch the centers inward. Then pinch the four corners to begin molding the bows.

Use the knife tool to indent a vertical line across the center of each bow. With the tip of the knife tool, make small indentations to form creases at the center of the bow on each side of the vertical line.

Once the dipped cake pops are dry, use the black edible marker to draw on smiles, eyebrows and eyelashes — whatever you want to punch up the personality.

If your excess candy melts have hardened, heat them to re-melt. With a toothpick, use a small amount of candy melts to secure the eyes and bows in place. Then you’re done!These Valentine Cake Pops taste amazing and will be a mega-hit with everyone in the family!

Valentine's Brownie Cake Pops

While your cake pops are in the freezer, place all of your candy melts in a medium-sized bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals until completely melted.

Place your cookie stick in the candy melt, then the cake pop. Then add your cake pop to the candy melts. Coat the pop completely with the melt.

On the side of the bowl, tap it gently with the stick removing any excess chocolate from the cake pop to create a smooth finish.

If you love cake pops (and who doesn’t?), you’ll love making this cake pop recipe. Here are the answers to all your burning questions about making cake pops!

You can easily make these into balls that are uniform with a cookie scoop, and it’s SO easy! Note – you can do it by hand too, but they are more likely to vary in size.

If you want to try making other shapes, I HIGHLY recommend sticking with cookie cutters that have simple shapes. If you attempt anything with too much detail, the cake pops won’t maintain their shape.

Today is my first guest post from my dear friend Jessica of Stuck on Sweet! She always shares such delicious, beautiful dishes. Her blog is packed full of Italian favorites (her Husband’s family is Italian so you know she knows what she is doing) and she is my go to blog for sweets and desserts. I was lucky enough to work with Jess for a few years and we have remained good friends and do cooking classes together because that is what foodie friends are for, right!?

Hello everyone! This is Jessica fromStuck on Sweet.I am guest posting today on A Cedar Spoon as Julia prepares to welcome her second baby boy into the world. I can’t.even.wait!!!!! I’m sure you have seen her son, Will. Isn’t he the cutest and happiest little guy? Last time I saw him (it’s been too long) he was showing me his belly button. I lost it – so darn cute.

I figured Valentine’s Day is coming up – one of my favorite holidays by the way. Single or not single, you usually devour sweets so I am totally all about it. Have you been to Michael’s lately? You need to go!!! Now!!! They have Valentine’s Day stuff galore…I’m a bit obsessed. I bought thisHEARTalong with the adorable sprinkles and the candy coating for these here pops. Michael’s is like Target. Ya can’t leave without a bunch of stuff. I also left with some tin thing and more cupcake liners. They have new ones every.single.time I go and I say to myself “well hey, can’t hurt to get a few more right? And they’re only like $1.99.” I have a cupboard FULL of cupcake liners. Looks like I need to start baking some serious cupcakes.

So about these pops! Oreo cake pops are super easy to make. Really only need three ingredients – oreos, cream cheese, and candy coating or chocolate. Crush the oreos up, mix them with cream cheese, roll into a ball, and cover with your choice of coating. That’s it!

Now, don’t worry if you can’t make them perfect. That is really hard to do and it takes a lot of time. I’m not saying don’t go for it but don’t feel like they’re ruined if they don’t look like they do in the magazines. I mean check out the sticks in mine? They’re ALL crooked…I think it adds character. 😉

If the candy coating or chocolate is not runny enough to dip the cake balls, add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening to help thin it out. Add more if necessary.

These look so adorable and delicious! Did you crush the Oreos straight out of the package or did you remove the creme filling first?I use a different technique than just rolling individual pops. For fun shapes, you can easily use small cookie cutters, like hearts.
