These Marie Antoinette inspired cake pops bring a little royal vibe to the dessert table or party. The lovely litle baroue themed pops really stand out.
Prepare the cake pop base from cake pop batter and form 12 balls. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball.
Mix a skin tone with mixing molten brown and white candy melts. You can adjust the color tone after your liking. We choose a fair skin tone because Marie Antoinette naturally had a light skin tone. Begin making your cake pops by dipping your cake balls in the skin colored candy melts and allow to dry and set.
Once they are hardened, using your melted white candy and a lollipop stick or toothpick, attach the mini marshmallows at the top of the head for the baroque hair style and continue adding around the sides.
After those are set, keep building the marshmallows up using more melted candy. You can use a few marshmallows for a more modest look or pile them on to get wild and crazy – the sky’s the limit!
Once that is all dry, you can attach various small candies using molten white candy – like the little flowers and pearls used here- and make any sort of pattern (or non-pattern!) you like.
To make the face, use the edible ink pens. Paint face expressions as you like.
Notes
With just a few simple features and these ladies are all ready for their debut. Be creative – there’s no wrong way to do this. You can use a variety of small candies as well as vary the colors to coordinate with any theme or holiday.
