Cake Pops

Step 6: Decorate your Pops

Now it's time to get creative.
If you had any pops that didn't turn out so hot, practice on those.

I don't have any pictures of my decorating process, but I just used what I had in terms of glitter and confetti and such. The ducks' noses and wings were more melted candy coating, and the feet were little orange stars that came in the confetti mixture. The eyes were dotted on with the tube decorator icing.

The eggs were made by using the decorator icing and glitter/confetti.

So what should my next ones look like??

Fantastic Instructable! Thanks so very much. I made a batch of 'pops' for my son's 6th birthday party tomorrow. I did half with a vanilla cake mix and the other half with a double choc cake mix. The candy coating has a 'mind of its own' (!) and I gave up trying to make it pretty, instead going for the maximum sugar content and any kind of sprinkles I could attach! The kids will love 'em anyway and it makes such a welcome change to the boring old cake served up at all the other kid parties! Thanks again :)

Oh my gosh!!! Those look so great! I love that you covered the block with aluminum foil. I bet they loved them!!

[lozzie_pie]

[taralynn]

Try wilton.com or joann.com to order them online

[nikkeh6]

[missmibo]

Almond bark, AKA, white chocolate is the same thing with a few drops of food coloring.

How would you decorate a soccer ball? I have a friend I'd love to do this for!

Also, anyone have any ideas for how to make Mickey on a stick?

Love these ideas, thanks!!

[taralynn]

I bought a mickey mold on amazon for 2.99. I haven't used it yet but it is a good sized mold

[jenntastic]

What do you stick the cake pops in while you are decorating...?
Thanks

[LingCullen]

I used my collinder turned upside down on the counter =) worked great.

4th of July ---- SMOKE BOMBS!! red, green, yellow.... with a wick hanging out!!!

[dishsoapheart]

does anybody know if they turn out better not freezing the sticks in?

[BatAndOwl]

NO! I did that and while I dipped the cake lolis in, the stick fell off and I struggled fixing it....Let's just say I "cleaned" my hands.

[komecake]

  I'm cheap and didn't want to spend $8 on a piece of strofoam so I did without... now I realize why I really needed it! Crap... I have some old pieces of wood in the garage. I'm thinking about drilling holes in some.... haha. I hope it works! I'm cheap. :P

 Pictures once I'm done if they don't suck! 

[Ladee]

Save your money...use an egg carton to stick pops into; cardboard or styrofoam, but the styrofoam ones may work better. :-)

[SodaPopPanda]

I'm going to do this for a friends baby shower!! Hello Kitty Pops here I come!

[gamemasterful]

Make some pokeballs! And other round-themed pokemon!

SNORLAX!!!!!!!!!pop

[lozzie_pie]

POKEBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! clefairies maybe.....?

[TechNerd1012]

oooo, for halloween, you could inject jelly into the middle of them, and decorate them like eyeballs. when people bite into them, you got BLEEDING EYEBALLS!!HAHAHAHA!!!

[diadiablo]

i love the way you think.

[jbrecken]

Instead of injecting the jelly, form the cake balls around frozen jelly centers.

[cherishcherub]

 it would be kinda hard to get a jelly sphere and then freeze it

[Miss_Chievous666]

Why not just get an ice cube tray thats spherical? Like this one :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019IJJI6/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001CDB878&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1TTBXVMX451XACYHEJB9

[greggspen]

make the jelly in hemiphere moulds, when they are set stick halves together(bottom hemishere still in mould) and then freeze.

[RavingMadStudios]

Liquid nitrogen would fix that right up.

[cherishcherub]

 true, but it wouldn't really be an instructable, more like a "if-you-can-get-your-hands-on-it-able"

[RavingMadStudios]

Sure, but it would be very satisfyingly gratuitous.

[lozzie_pie]

that is a freakin awesome idea!!!!!!!!

[Purple-tiger]

That is an awesome idea, I will have to try it...

[jacq01uk]

terrific idea... ;o)

[TheGinge]

that is the best idea in the world ever! so doing that. how about pumpkins as well?

[imbignate]

I think that eyeballs at Halloween with reddish cake would be great, as said above. At Christmas I'd go with snowman heads or Christmas ornaments. Forth July 4th I'm not really sure what you could do, aside from doing red-white-and blue coatings, and I'd definitely go with hearts for Valentine's day. These would also be great for any kid birthday.

[GAboy]

For the Fourth of July you could shape it like a fire cracker and use black shoelace licorice as a wick

[scoochmaroo]

Yeah, they'd be great as baseballs or soccer balls. I'm even considering doing a whole solar system!

[finfan7]

Anybody feel like a taste of the sun? I swear it's not a basketball on a stick.

[the duck tape queen]

these are really cute! But ,for Christmas, you could make them squares and make them look like presents!(just an idea) great job :)
