Snowmen Cake Pops are a delightful treat that would be perfect for selling at a Christmas fair or for kids who love something special but aren’t big fans of traditional Christmas cake. Here's how to make these adorable Snowmen Cake Pops.
These little guys have been chilling in the fridge, looking too cute to resist sharing! I enjoy making cake pops because they're not only delicious but also incredibly fun to shape into different forms. These snowmen are particularly charming because the desiccated coconut gives them that snowy vibe while adding a distinctly Christmassy flavor.
The combination of coconut and white chocolate is one of my favorites. This was my first time trying cake pops with more than one ball per stick, and surprisingly, it made them much easier to handle. Having two cake balls attached to each lollipop stick seemed to stabilize everything perfectly.
To start, cut the crusts off a Madeira cake and crumble it into fine pieces. Mix this with some buttercream icing until you form a firm dough. Roll it into small balls, which will serve as the base of your snowmen. Insert two cake balls onto each lollipop stick to create their bodies.
Next, melt your chosen chocolate or candy melts using a double boiler. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it gets fully coated. For larger cake pops, a deep container works best, and spreading the chocolate evenly with a knife can help cover any imperfections before rolling them in desiccated coconut.
Decorating comes next! Add candy eyes and an orange triangle for the nose. You can use candy oranges and slice them thinly for a realistic touch. Chocolate buttons make excellent buttons on the belly, while Rolos paired with large chocolate buttons create a festive hat. Finally, wrap a thin sweet around the neck to mimic a scarf.
Let the cake pops set in the fridge before displaying them creatively. I often use florist foam to arrange them at varying heights, wrapping the base with ribbon and scattering glitter and sequins around for extra sparkle.
Making these Snowmen Cake Pops took about an hour from start to finish, including prep and setting time. They’re not only fun to make but also impressive to serve at parties or gift as edible decorations during the holidays.
