For each cake ball, flatten and shape it into a ¾-inch-thick circle by pushing it into the pastry cutter. Remove and smooth the edges with moistened fingers. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to harden.

Melt the candy melts in the base color. Dip each lollipop stick ¾ inch deep into the melted candy and insert a stick through the center of each cake pop. Leave for 1–2 minutes until the candy has set.

Now dip each cake pop fully into the melted candy, making sure they get coated evenly. Remember to gently shake off any excess candy into the bowl, then place in a polystyrene block to dry.

Melt the red candy melts, then quickly pour into the piping bag so the candy doesn’t set. Cut a small piece off the tip of the bag. Place a cake pop on a flat surface. Pipe the outline of a heart shape on the pop and then pipe Sweethearts messages. Repeat with the remaining pops.
