Minecraft Creeper Cake Pop Instructions:

Step 1: Cake Pop Dough

• To make the cake pop dough, I added a fresh funfetti cake to my mixing bowl, still hot and steaming. I mixed it with the paddle attachment until it came together into a dough. The steam added enough moisture that I did not need to use any frosting. You are looking for a dough-like consistency that will hold together, but not be too runny.
  
  

Step 2: Cake Pop Shaping

• I used these molds to make cubes, pushing the dough in and flattening the top as much as possible. Then, I popped them into the freezer for a few hours so that I could pop them out while maintaining their form. 
  
  
• Once they were out of their molds, I let them sit for a bit to bring their temperature up. If the cake pops are too cold when you dip them, the chocolate will sweat and crack. 
  
  

Step 3: Dipping

• Melt your chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. I like to use a coffee mug to hold the chocolate because they are easy to handle, deep enough to dip, but not so wide that you waste chocolate with unnecessary surface area. 
  
  
• Dip your stick in the chocolate and then push it into the center of the cake pop. Let these dry before dipping. 
  
  
• Once the chocolate around the sticks is dry, dip the cake pop into the chocolate and lightly tap off the excess before placing it in the stand to dry. I have these cake pop stands, but if you don’t have one, you can use a cardboard box or Styrofoam to create a similar stand. 
  
  
• Once dry, you can add the creeper face with either edible markers or black fondant. I used this black fondant and the square fondant cutter to punch out perfect squares. I then glued them on with more melted chocolate.
