You Will Need (15 things)

  • Rejuvenator Spirit
  • Silver Luster Dust
  • Palette
  • Paintbrushes
  • Small, sharp Knife
  • 30 g (1 OZ) white Sugarpaste (fondant)
  • ¼ tsp gum Tragacanth
  • Toothpicks
  • Small, microwave-safe plastic Bowl(s)
  • 200 g (7 OZ) black Candy Melts
  • 6 boy Cake Pops
  • Pink blossom Tint
  • Black blossom Tint
  • Gold Luster Dust
  • Polystyrene Block

Steps (7 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Make 6 boy body pops with red bodies. Set aside to dry.

  2. 2

    Prepare the black candy melts in the plastic bowl according to the instructions on the packet.

  3. 3

    Dip Flapjackson’s head into the melts to create his hair. You can use a toothpick to spread the melts into place. Don’t forget to add his signature curl at the front! Repeat for the remaining pops and set aside to dry.

  4. 4

    While you’re waiting for Flapjackson’s hair to dry, make his mirror shades. Knead the gum tragacanth into the sugarpaste to make it easier to shape. Take a pea-sized amount, flatten it down and shape it into shades by hand or with a small, sharp knife. Repeat for each pop.

  5. 5

    Mix a small amount of silver lustre dust with a few drops of rejuvenator spirit and paint all six pairs of aviator shades. Set aside to dry.

  6. 6

    Once dry, fix each pair of shades into place with some of the leftover candy melts.

  7. 7

    Mix a small amount of pink blossom tint with a few drops of rejuvenator spirit and, with a fine brush, paint lips onto each pop. Do the same for the collar in black and the button detailing in gold. Set aside to dry completely in a polystyrene block.
