Cake Pops

Conversation Heart Cake Pops Decoration
  1. Melt wafers in the microwave on 50% power for 30 second intervals. Stirring after each interval until melted. If mixture is thick, thin by using Wilton Candy Melts EZ Thin Dipping Aid, or mixing in 1 tsp. shortening or oil at a time until desired thinness.
  2. Remove several cake hearts from the fridge at a time.
  3. Dip ½ inch of a lollipop stick into the melted wafers and insert it almost half way into a cake heart. Allow the cake pop to rest for 30 seconds or a minute to let the melted wafers harden onto the stick.
  4. Dip the cake heart fully into the melted wafers while holding onto the stick.
  5. After dipping, gently tap and rotate the stick to remove the excess candy coating.
  6. Repeat the melting and dipping process with the different wafer colors.
  7. After candy coating hardens, use pink icing to write the conversation heart sayings onto the cake pops.
