Heart Cake Pops Valentine’s Day Special

February 14, 2013 By Sangeetha Priya 35 Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day to all my dear viewers. Let join us in celebrating this day with cute heart cake pops. Few days back I first tried basic cake pop (round cake pops) with the leftovers from Checker board cake. Due to unsatisfactory pictures I have not posted it but this was my second cake pop experience. This time I made cute heart inside a heart, I mean 2 hearts in one cake pop, so cute right will move on to the recipe in detail 🙂
 

Ingredients

White/Vanilla Cake/Any leftover cake – One 8” Cake

Heavy Whipping Cream or Butter Cream – 4 Tbsp or as needed
White Chocolate Blanco Candy Melts or wafers  (I used Wilton) or You can use Pink color candy melts
Red Food Color – Few Drops (if using pink candy melt case just skip this)
Veg Shortening or Flavorless Cooking Oil
Pop Sticks or Wooden sticks
Sprinkles to Decorate

For White Cake Recipe, click the below links…
1) Princess Cake Recipe
2) Basic Birthday Cake Recipe (Egg whites separated recipe).
3) Cardamom Flavored Tea/Bakery Cake
4) Eggless Butterless Orange Tutti Frutti Cake
5) Chocolate Cake Recipe

Method

  • Crumble the cake without any big lumps.
  • Add cream to the crumb cake and make it moist to roll shapes.
  • Don’t add too much cream, able to hold shapes that’s it (Pic 1).
  • Line a tray with parchment/wax paper and make shapes using cookie cutter.
  • I have made small and medium heart shapes to stack one over another (Pic 2).
  • Freeze it at least 15 minutes or overnight (Pic 5).
  • Take the candy melts in a heat proof safe bowl, using double boiler method (Steam melt) or directly over boiling water or in microwave melt the candies (Pic 3).
  • Now add Oil/vegetable shortening (I used both), optional food color and bring to dropping consistency (Pic 4).
  • These melted candies dry out soon, so melt in batches and use small quantity.
  • Apply melted candy at the back of small heart shaped cake and press it over the big one (Pic 6).
  • You can make single layer cake too.
  • Dip the stick in melted candy and insert it gently in to the heart cakes (Pic 7).
  • Insert the sticks half way through.
  • Dip the whole cake in to the candy melts with a help of spoon lift it up and tap gently to remove excess (Pic 8).
  • Use some sprinkles and decorate the cake pops.
  • Use any thermocol or whatever available at home to place the cake pops (Pic 9), still I am comfortable with my idli pan :-).
  • It will dry out in another 2-3 minutes.
  • After dipping immediately add sprinklers or customize your cake pops as shown in step wise picture below.
  • If dried out do apply some candy melt to the back of each sprinkle and place it over the cake pops (Pic 10).
  • Decorate it to your creativity.

Recipe Notes
  1. You may need to sprinkle whipping cream when you feel the cake dried out while making shapes.
  2. The shaped cakes should not melt at any time.
  3. As a beginner you can take few at a time from freezer and dip it.
  4. If they are out in room temperature for a long time then shapes turn out messy so always dip firm cake pops in candy melts.
  5. The cake pops once done and dried, avoid exposing it to too hot temperature, you can refrigerate it in that case.

This was my daughter’s first pose for the blog 🙂

Thats why the finishing is not good as round cake pops. Here is the stepwise pictures for how i made the modak cake pops. You can check my 2 other posts for cake pops. They are very detailed post though… 1) Basic Round Party Cake Pops 2) Heart shaped Cake Pops […]
