Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla cake, crumbled
- 3 tbsp buttercream or cream cheese frosting
- 1 cup pink candy melts
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 1/2 cup dark or milk chocolate
- 1/4 cup heart sprinkles (assorted pink, red, white)
- 6 popsicle sticks
- Red heart topper candies or fondant hearts
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix crumbled vanilla cake with frosting until it forms a dough-like texture.
- Press the mixture into silicone popsicle molds, insert sticks, and freeze for 1 hour until firm.
- Melt the pink and white candy melts separately according to package directions. Melt the chocolate as well.
- Remove the frozen cake pops from molds and dip each one in either pink or white candy melts. Let them set.
- Decorate with piped white chocolate lattice for a cone look or dip tops in pink melts for a scoop effect.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the tops and add heart sprinkles.
- Place a red heart topper onto each pop while chocolate is still soft.
- Chill decorated cake pops on a parchment-lined tray until fully set. Serve as desired.
Notes
- Ensure the cake mixture is firm enough to hold shape when frozen.
- Work quickly when decorating as the candy melts set fast.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator if not serving immediately.
