How To Make Valentine Cake Pops: For Your Perfect Match!

However, while at Michaels one night, I found the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker on sale, so I decided to snatch one up and start making cake pops. I started with these lovely Valentine's Day cake pops.

To decorate your cake pops, use candy melts and sprinkles of your choice. I really like pink and white candy melts for Valentine's Day.

We're usually not huge cake eaters, but my guys really liked these; each cake pop is such a small serving and makes a nice sweet treat.

Confessional Tip: On my first try, my batter looked normal, but my cake pops were turning out to look like nipples (I'm not even kidding). So, off to experiment and try again; I eventually learned the batter needs to be almost as stiff as brownie batter. When it's a stiff batter, it works like a charm!

Cake pops can be soft and crumbly. So it helps to freeze them prior to dipping, so they dip more easily. It also helps the melted candy to set up faster, so you can decorate more efficiently and quickly.

You can make them a couple days in advance. Like cake, cake pops can lose their freshness, so I'd only make them 1-2 days in advance for best quality, flavor, and texture. They should last for 1-2 days at room temp and 5-7 days in the fridge.

Depending on ingredients used, you can store dipped cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. If you're making them more in advance or with certain ingredients that require refrigeration, they need to go in the fridge; before you put them in the fridge, be sure to layer them on a paper towel or piece of parchment paper, in a single layer, in an airtight container. Then just remove them from the fridge a couple hours before the big event, so they can warm to room temp and soften.

These would be great served at a party or a celebration; they're also fun just to get creative with, maybe share a few with your neighbors. Enjoy!

These can be prepared two to three days in advance. Keep your valentine’s cake pops in the refrigerator until ready to serve or if you have leftovers from your celebration.

I used Wilton lollipop sticks from the grocery store. You can find them down the party or baking aisle. These are sturdy papered sticks that hold these cake pops perfectly.

The best kind of chocolate is candy melts, almond bark, or semi-sweet chocolate. It is best to chop it up if you are using a brick or bark. This will help melt it quicker and more evenly.

Make sure that you’re only working with about five cake pops at a time. Leave the rest in the freezer so that they don’t soften too much while you work on the others. You want them to be really cold when working with them.

After dipping the stick in melted chocolate, let it dry first before sticking into the cake ball. It’s easier to work with this way and is less likely to fall off when dipping the whole cake pop into melted chocolate.
