I made the pops in an egg shape. Some I dipped in white candy coating, others I dipped in pink candy coating. Again, all were going to become Easter Bunny heads!
Okay, these were so incredibly easy to make that I didn't take pics of the assembly process. I trimmed the tips off of pastel candy corn and used extra melted candy coating to glue the ears on. I made swirls of 'hair' between the ears to camouflage extra candy coating there. The nose was a glued on candy heart. The eyes and mouth were drawn on with edible ink pens. One has glued on pre-made sugar eyes, as you can see in the pic. It just made the cake pop look creepy to me. So I didn't bother making any more than that one.
I really had fun making the different faces on these guys! Bakerella (the amazing woman who came up with the cake pop concept) makes a certain style of eyes. They're cute, but I really like making my own style of eyes on the pops. And I enjoy giving them all expressions of their own.
And I began giving their mouths expressions, too. Kind of like they have something interesting to say.
I also liked the contrast between the red nose and the green eyes/ears.
