Instructions

Baking the Cake (if using a homemade cake)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the cake batter according to your cake mix box or homemade recipe.

Pour the cake batter into a greased baking pan and bake according to the instructions (about 25-30 minutes).

Once baked, let the cake cool completely on a wire rack.

Crush and Mix

Once the cake has cooled, crush it into small pieces in a large bowl.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of icing sugar and mix thoroughly until it reaches a pliable but not too thick consistency. Add more icing sugar if needed.

Making the Cake Balls

Spoon a suitable amount of the mixture and press it into shape using a heart-shaped mold to create a Valentine's Day theme.

Place the shaped cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to harden.

Attaching the Lollipop Sticks

Melt a small amount of white candy coating in a bowl.

Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted candy, then insert it halfway into a cake ball to help secure the stick.

Return the cake lollipops to the refrigerator for 5 minutes to allow the candy to set.

Coating the Cake Lollipops

Melt the candy coating in pink, red, and white according to the package instructions.

Remove the cake lollipops from the refrigerator, dip them in your favorite color, and gently shake off any excess coating.

While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with sugar sprinkles, syrup, or your favorite decorations.

Drying

Stand upright on a foam block or cake lollipop holder to dry.

Can be allowed to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
