I made these cake pops for my son’s Lego party! Aren’t they cute? Not bad for my first attempt at Bakerella’s adorable creations.
Directions
- Bake a cake and mash it up with a can of frosting.
- Roll a small handful of mashed up cake into a ball, then carefully rolled the ball on wax paper to make the Lego head shape.
- The connector on top is a small round marshmallow. I sliced up a large marshmallow and used a Wilton frosting tip to cut out a small circle. You could also use a mini marshmallow cut in half or an M&M.
- Arrange on wax paper and stick a lollipop stick in the top.
- Once assembled, freeze the cake pops, then dip into yellow candy melts and let cool before drawing faces on them.

A much faster version is to make marshmallow pops! I made several of these as a tester and they turned out super cute.
Slicing off the bottom of a large marshmallow and cutting a circle out of it with a frosting tip for the top worked great.
Check out my son’s party here. We had a blast!

How do you let dipped marshmallow heads set up? I usually set them on their tops but you can’t do that with these?

Hi! Love the marshmallow idea! I’m going to try it for my sons 7th birthday next week. Just wondering can I make them ahead of time and freeze them??

I want to try the marshmallow pops–do you use candy melts to attach the top ‘button’ to the head?

I am attempting to make the marshmellow pops to stick into cupcakes for my son’s birthday party next weekend. Should the marshmellows be frozen before dipping, too?

Please do not use m&m’s or other coloured candies!! I did this and now my lego heads are all discoloured from the colour melting off

Err Lego Head Cake Pops? I have a general distrust of cake on a stick, but these are stupidly cute http://t.co/vrEkIun
