Puppy Cake Pops, Adorably Sweet

For the ears (can make ahead a day or two ahead of time):

1. Fill inside of plastic spoons with melted candy coating of your choice, so that the candy is in the shape of elongated teardrops.  Place spoons on largest plate you can fit in your freezer.  Put plate of spoons in freezer about 5 minutes to set.  Just pop the ears right out of the spoon, and keep in fridge until ready to use.

For assembling cake pops:

1. After cake is cooled, get your clean hands dirty and crumble it up in a large bowl.  Mix well with 3/4 can of frosting.  This is nice and messy!  Roll mixture into balls a little smaller than golf sized.  Place on wax paper.
2. Melt candy melts in separate bowls in microwave, stirring well.  Dip tip of lollipop stick into melted candy and insert halfway into cake balls.  Place in freezer to firm up, about 10 minutes.    Once firm, hold each cake ball by the stick and rotate cake balls into melted candy until completely covered.  Stick into styrofoam block, so cake pops are sitting right side up.
3. Before candy coating completely dries, "glue" on the ears and nose.  If coating is already dry, just put a dab of melted candy coating on so you can do your gluing.  Use same method to "glue" on collars, if desired.  Once coating is fully dry, use edible pen to draw the eyes and nose.  Pops can be kept in fridge until serving, if your room temp is too warm.  Enjoy your sweet puppy cake pops!
