    In microwavable bowl, microwave 1 bag of candy melts uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 minute, then in 15-second intervals, until melted; stir until smooth. Remove several cake balls from refrigerator at a time. Dip tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into melted candy and insert stick into 1 cake ball no more than halfway. Dip into melted candy to cover; tap off any excess. (Reheat candy in microwave or add vegetable oil if too thick to coat.) Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. Let set. Reheat with remaining candy and cake balls. With toothpick, dot small amount of leftover melted candy on cake pop for beak; attach 1 orange heart sprinkle, pointed side out. With same technique, attach 2 yellow sprinkles for wings, pointed side out, on sides of pop; attach two 2 orange wildflower sprinkles at bottom of pop for feet; and attach 2 blue sprinkles for eyes.

  • You don’t have to make 48 cake pops at one time. Cut the cake into 3 equal pieces. One piece will make about 16 cake pops and you can freeze the rest of the cake for another time. Use one bag of candy melts to coat the 16 cake pops. Remember to also use only 1/3 cup frosting.
  • You can also use other candy melt colors for a fun springy look. Try some in light blue and pink.
