Dog Cake Pop Recipe

One of my little guys celebrated his 6th birthday this summer. Of all possible cake-y requests, he asked for cake pops. It took me a lengthy 2 seconds to decide what style the pops would be.

My sweet boy’s favorite thing in the whole wide world is unmatched by any other – his stuffed puppy dog. It’s famously known as the scraggly, falling-apart toy pup named “Timmy.” Timmy, who has never left my son’s side since infancy. Timmy, who’s endured ugly ear surgery twice (I’m no seamstress) and who sports bald spots where there used to be fur. Timmy, who my son vehemently refuses to replace, no matter how beautiful a new stuffed dog might I offer.

Yes, puppy cake pops it would have to be. These turned out looking so much like the real Timmy that when my son saw the cake pops, he shouted, “They’re Timmy! You made little Timmies!”

Cake pops are everywhere. Their popularity is partly due to the fact that they are easy, moist, attractive treats that satisfy those with sweet cravings and who want

. Or two or three. Plus, they are a blank canvas for the ultra creative people of the world (I’m not in that category.)

It takes a couple stages to complete these, but each stage is simple. If you’ve ever made cake pops, you already know these are done easily with various combos of boxed cake mixes & frosting, unless you want to make your own.

The only trick was my edible ink pen, which didn’t write on the coating as easily as I wanted. The pen I am listing on this recipe is supposedly a better one than what I actually used. I’ll be using it next time instead. Still, these turned out really well.

There are always new edible pens coming out, so keep your eyes open for new options to. make your designs stand out. It’s your excuse to buy new pens 🙂

It was for us to make these cake pops. The kids loved watching the process and “helping” (aka eating.) The peanut butter exterior goes perfectly with the chocolate cake interior, similar to my favorite candy in the world – Reese’s peanut butter cups. Does anyone else find it hard to stop popping the candy morsels or chocolate chips in your mouth when baking? Anyone? Please…someone.

This is a super fun baking activity to do with your older kids, if they’re interested in baking or simply being creative. Younger kids can “help, ” but know that they’ll most likely eat all the ears and noses up first.

I made these for my mom’s birthday this week. She’s been wanting me to turn her little puppy pie into a cake pop and I finally attempted them this past weekend. Surprisingly, they ended up being way easier than I thought they would be.

And because I wanted to get as close to her likeness as possible, I worked the sizing out on the computer starting with different size circles. I took a picture of my sketch and emailed to myself to lay over the circles in a graphics program called Indesign. The faces are slightly larger than the circles to allow for the size increase when the round cake balls are dipped in candy coating. Once I had all the sizes, I picked the one that would work best with the sprinkles I had on hand.

Now to make the cake pops. First mix crumbled cake and frosting together and then roll into balls based on the size you need.

Once I had the starting size, I used the puppy drawing as a guide to hand shape the puppy heads. Just lay a sheet of wax paper over your reference and shape the cake ball to fit. I also used a lollipop stick to press holes into the shaped cake balls where the eyes would be. I did this for reference after they are dipped.

The slight impression helps me know where to quickly place the sugar pearls for eyes because you want to do this while the candy coating is still wet.

Then place the rainbow chip sprinkle in position for the nose and the confetti sprinkle in position for the tongue. (You could do these two steps after the candy coating sets by attaching them with a dot of melted coating, but the eyes look better if they are inset into the coating slightly as opposed to sitting on top of the surface if that makes sense.)

Holy Shih Tzu. The before and after. Now let me show you how easy it is to go from one to the other.

This is all done with toothpicks and a little time. Start with the mustache and eyebrows area and dip your toothpick in coating and draw on the pop to build up dimension. Do all your pops and let them dry before layering on more as needed. Fill in around the nose and overlap the top of the confetti sprinkle. Then just keep drawing on lines of coating with the toothpick. Once you’ve built the face up to look like your pup, then apply more coating with a toothpick on the sides for floppy ears. Let dry.

All you need is a black edible ink pen. Maybe two if you are making a bunch. Just use the pen to draw on top of the pop mimicking your dog’s markings as much as possible.

Usually when I use these pens I recommend drawing on the surface very lightly like use a paint brush, because when you press down too hard, the candy coating can start to clog the pen.

But for these pups, I like how it looks when the pen is not solid black. It helps give the illusion of different shades of black hair. So I wasn’t as worried about the pen clogging up.
