These ice cream sundae pops have been a huge hit! A lot of people can't believe how much they look like an actual ice cream cone. So here is a simple picture guide to the process:
Get some ice cream cones and saw the bottom off with a serrated knife. These were about 2.5" or so. You want the top to be the right width so that the cake ball will sit lightly on top, like a real ice cream cone.
Prepare your styrofoam block. These cones won't fit into regular holes made by cake pop sticks. Take a stick, put it in one of the holes (or make a new hole if you have new styrofoam), and move the stick around in a circle creating a bigger opening at the top of the hole.
Poke your cake ball with a stick (do not dip your stick in the candy melt first), then dip your cake ball into the melted candy. Shake off most of the excess candy melts, but not all of it. You want a little bit left on so that it will run down the cone a little. Place the cake ball on the cone and gently slide the stick out of the cake ball. If you have enough excess on it the hole will be covered up by the drips. If you don't have enough you can use the stick to put more candy melts on it. Don't worry about it being messy. You can always cover it up with sprinkles or the dark melts in the next step. Don't forget to put the sprinkles on before the candy hardens!
Next drop just a little bit of melted dark chocolate melts. I usually use a toothpick to help along the drippage. :) Add a red peanut butter M&M (peanut M&Ms work too) for a cherry, and you're done!
Don't forget to take pictures! I place my pops on a white poster board and set one up behind them too. This with natural lighting makes great photos! Of course, when editing this photo I added too much exposure and then couldn't undo it when I finally noticed. I guess that's what happens when you're a mommy and trying to do 10 things all at once. :)
