These have got to be the most popular cake pops we’ve ever made at Molly Bakes. They were created a few weeks ago for amazing fashion designer Mira Mikati and already we’ve been asked to remake them a gazillion times by our super cool customers.
Here’s how to make them at home, this recipe is assuming you have made cake pops before or know how to make them. A basic cake pop recipe and tutorial will be added shortly.
You will need;
10 ready prepared cake balls, chilled
A cake pop stand or cake dummy with holes
Dusting powders – black, white, blue, pink
Selection of paint brushes and palette
Method;
It’s a good idea to have a picture of emojis or your iphone handy to look at.
Melt the candy melts as per the pack instructions and insert a stick into the each cake ball.
Dip each cake pop into the candy melts and place on a cake pop stand or polystyrene dummy to dry.
While the cake pops are still drying take two of them and place two of the heart sprinkles on one cake pop where eyes should be and place one heart sprinkle on the other where the mouth should be.
To use the dusts as cake pop paint, cover the palette with cling film. This will ensure the confectioners glaze doesn’t stain your palette as it’s a real bugger to remove – same goes for furniture, best to try not to get it on there. Mix a little of each dust with a tiny amount of glaze to create a fluid paste. It shouldn’t be too thick or too liquidy. Prepare each colour as you go as this stuff dries really quick.
Next, paint all the white bits – any whites of eyes, teeth etc. Then paint the black bits such as eyes, mouths, sunglasses and expressions. Paint the tears on the crying with laughter cake pop with the blue. I actually mixed eucalyptus with ocean blue to get the right colour. Then using a thick brush use dry pink powder to make blush marks.
And there you have it – the most fun cake pops ever! You can literally try out so many of the different emojis, these were just my personal faves.

Hi molly,
I am Swetha from India. Loved the cake pops . I’d like to know if the confectioners glaze mixed with dusting powder will dry on the cake pops after you paint on the cake pops.looking forward to making them but had this doubt so wanted to clarify with you. And also wanted to know What dusting powder you used .is it petal dust or luster dust.
Sorry to ask so many questions
Awaiting your reply
Love from India,
Swetha

Hi Swetha Thanks for your question. The glaze does dry just take care not to use too much otherwise it can go sticky. You want it to be the consistency of paint when you mix with the powders. I just use Sugarflair dusting powders and they go a really long way. When mixing with the glaze, it tends to dry very quickly so only use a little at a time and I also lay down cling film over both my paint palette and furniture otherwise it won’t come off!
