How to make it

Bake
your cake according to the box instructions and set aside to cool
completely. Prep your candy decorations by putting them into a small
bowl or plate.

Crumble
the cake finely into a bowl. Discard any hard edging of the cake that
does not crumble neatly. Spoon in ½ - ¾ the can of frosting and use your
hands to mix the frosting thoroughly into the cake.

Using your hands, scoop out a small portion of cake and roll it into a ball. Shape the ball into a
fat
teardrop shape and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once all
the cake is shaped, place the cookie sheet into the freezer for 15
minutes. After that time, transfer to the refrigerator.
Meanwhile,
pour the green candy coating into a microwave safe bowl and microwave
at 50% for 40-second intervals. Stir after each 40-second interval,
being careful to not over heat the candy coating. When there are only a
few lumps left, stir the coating until it is melted and smooth.
Remove
3 or 4 cakes from the refrigerator at a time to dip. Dip the end of a
lollipop stick into the coating, then insert into the bottom of the
cake. Now, dip the pop into the coating, submerging the cake completely.
Do not swirl the cake pop or the cake will come apart into the bowl.
Let any extra coating drip back into the bowl.

Before
the coating dries, insert two white candy hearts on top of the head for
the horns pushing the top of the hearts into the coating and letting
the bottom of the hearts stick out the top. Insert one jumbo eye into
the center of the cake pop closer to the top than the bottom. Insert the
stick end of the cake pop into a brick of Styrofoam to let dry.

Once
all the cake pops are dipped and decorated, melt the 6 pieces of
chocolate candy coating. Using a new and clean craft brush, dip the
brush into the chocolate candy coating and paint on the mouth. Before
the mouth dries, place 5 to 4 white pearl candies into the mouth for the
top teeth, and 3 to 4 pearl candies for the bottom teeth. Repeat with
the rest of the cake pops.

Once all the mouths are dry, use a black edible food pen and draw a line across the middle 3 upper teeth for Mike’s retainer.
