Valentine’s Day Cake Pops

Adorable Valentine's Day cake pops! {Canary Street Crafts}

Here’s a fun and easy way to decorate cake pops for Valentine’s Day!

  First, make your favorite cake pop recipe, form the balls and chill.  (If you’ve never made cake pops, here’s a great tutorial).

I used Wilton’s candy melts for the outer coating.  When melting your candy melts, it helps to use a deep narrow dish (like a drinking glass) so you can easily submerge the cake balls.  (Just make sure the container you choose is microwaveable).

Once your candy melts are ready to use, push a lollipop stick all the way through a cake ball.  Dip the cake ball into the candy melt, completely submerging it, then let the excess candy melt drip off.

Place the cake balls on their side on a piece of wax paper, then remove the stick.  If you’re adding sprinkles, do that now before the candy melt hardens.  I reused a couple sticks over and over to dip all the cake balls.

Once the candy coating is completely dry, push a clean lollipop stick into the cake ball, using the same hole you created when you dipped it.  I used 3″ lollipop sticks for mine.  You might meet a little resistance when pushing through the candy layer at the far end of the ball.  Just push gently.  A small chunk of the candy coating broke off a few of mine when I pushed the stick all the way through, but they still looked fine.

Now for the arrows..  I used a Fiskars pop-up heart punch to make the hearts for the arrow tips out of red cardstock.  I used a tape runner to add a little adhesive to the back of the heart and stick it onto the lollipop stick.  I think heart shaped stickers would work great for this too.  For the “feathers” on the back of the arrow, I cut sparkly red pipe cleaner in approximately 1″ strips and just wrapped a couple around the stick.
