Instructions
- Crumble the Cake
Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. - Add the Frosting
Gradually mix in the buttercream until the mixture is moist and holds together when pressed. - Shape the Cake Pops
Roll the mixture into small, smooth balls. For a heart-shaped design, gently shape each portion into a heart using your fingers or a small heart-shaped mold. - Chill
Place the shaped cake pops on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 30–45 minutes. - Insert the Sticks
Dip the end of each cake pop stick into melted candy coating, then insert it into the cake pop. Chill briefly to secure. - Coat the Cake Pops
Dip each cake pop into melted pink, red, or white candy coating until completely covered. Allow excess coating to drip off. - Decorate
While the coating is still wet, add heart sprinkles, sugar pearls, Valentine’s Day sprinkles, or small candy hearts. - Let Them Set
Place the cake pops upright and allow the coating to completely harden before serving.
