Create custom Valentine Cake Pops with this easy tutorial using a classic cake mix, chocolate candies, and more. A perfect classroom Valentine's idea! #ValentineCakePops #cakePops #ValentinesDay #Valentine #dessert

Valentine Cake Pops are a super cute and fun dessert to share with your favorite Valentine. They also make the perfect Valentine gift! There really are not a lot of things you need for this tutorial, just a great cake recipe, some chocolate candy melts, and an oven!

Valentine Cake Pops

These cake pops were super easy and fun to make. You on;y need to have a cake mix, cake pop tray, candy, and melting chocolates for decorating.

In this tutorial, I used a tray, but they now have a heart-shaped cake mold that will be just as cute.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Heart Shaped Cake Pops

Step 1:  Grab your favorite cake recipe and get everything mixed and ready.

Mix a Cake for the Candy Coated Cake Pops

Whisk the cake mix as instructed on the box

Step 2:  Once your mix is ready, place small scoops into the heart-shaped baking dish that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray and sprinkled with a little flour.

Fill the heart shaped cakes pan

Fill the cake pop tin with cake mix

Step 3:  Cover your tray with the top and bake for 10 minutes. I found this was the perfect amount of time for these little hearts!

Place the lid on and bake for 10 minutes

Bake Cake Pops for 10 minutes

Step 4:  Once finished, open up the tray and pop them out on a sheet of wax paper or a cooling rack. Take the popsicle (eat-a-pop) sticks, dip them in chocolate, and allow to cool.

Dip your sticks in chocolate and place through the heart and allow to cool

Add chocolate to sticks and place them in cake hearts

Step 5: Once cooled, cover in chocolate and decorate as desired.

Such a cute and fun project, and now little Addy can have her cake and “eat a pops”, too! Ok, that was cheesy… I did find that one cake mix would make about 60 heart-shaped cake pops, so you will have plenty to share!

Perfect for all of her friends in the classroom.

We had so much fun making these. I love making fun desserts with the kiddos, and they love to help “taste test” to make sure they are perfect. We coated our “eat-a-pops” in chocolate and sprinkles, (and we coated half of the kitchen in the same).

    What are you doing to me here?? You post the best recipes. And everybody knows that if it’s heart-shaped, it tastes better.

      Well, this was less of a recipe and more of a how-to with the fun little heart shaped baking tins I picked up at Target. Addy went CRAZY over them! It was a good buy, I am sure Des and Scarlet would have fun with this as well. 🙂

      The trick is NOT to bake them long at all. I took my cake recipe and placed the oven on the same temp I would for cupcakes….and then I only baked these for 10 minutes.

      Awe, thanks Melissa! These were super easy because there was this heart shaped bakeware being used. It was actually easier for me to make than when I do my other cake balls! LOL

    OK< those look amazing! My kids would have so much fun making those. I've pinned, and we are going to do it! Second of all, your pictures are incredible! Have you done any posts on how to make great pictures because I need some tips on getting my photos to look like THAT! (not only the pictures, but what program you use to make them so pretty!)

      Awe, thanks so much! I have not done any posts on how to do pictures, but I do have a board on Pinterest and it has a ton of photo tips and tricks. I haven’t read them all, but the ones from ClickItUpANotch are what got me shooting manual. Courtney is an amazing teacher! For the program, I actually use TWO. I use both PicMonkey and Photoshop. I am sure there is a much easier way to do it…but I’m like an old dog who doesn’t learn new tricks…LOL.
