Prepare 250 g FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes as indicated on the package and fill a decorating bag with the cupcake batter. Preheat the Bestron Sweet Dreams Cake Pop Maker and lightly spray the plates with FunCakes Bake Release Spray.
Cut a small tip off the decorating bag and fill the cavities of the cake pop maker with the cupcake batter. Bake the cake balls for 5 minutes until light brown. Turn them halfway through baking with a fork if necessary.
Melt the FunCakes Deco Melts Snow White as indicated on the package. Dip the FunCakes lollipop sticks into the melted Deco Melts and insert them into the cake balls. Let them set briefly in the refrigerator.
Next, dip the cake balls into the melted FunCakes Deco Melts Snow White. Place them upright in a dummy or another sturdy surface and let them set in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Dip them a second time and let them set again.
Dip some of the cake pops into the melted FunCakes Deco Melts Snow White and immediately roll them through the FunCakes white sprinkles. Let them set in the refrigerator.
Knead some FunCakes Sugar Paste Bella Blue until smooth, roll it out thinly and make snowflakes using the smallest cutters from the PME Snowflake Plunger Cutter Set/3. Let the snowflakes air dry for a short while.
Attach the small blue and white snowflakes to the cake pops using a bit of melted FunCakes Deco Melts Snow White.
Create the eyes and mouth of the snowman using melted FunCakes Deco Melts Black. Dip a cocktail stick into the melted Deco Melts and use it to place small dots on the cake pops.
Make small carrot noses from FunCakes Sugar Paste Tropical Orange and attach them with a little melted FunCakes Deco Melts Snow White. Let them set in the refrigerator.
For the hat: roll a small ball of FunCakes Sugar Paste Bella Blue between your hands and hollow it out with your fingers so it fits the snowman’s head. Attach the hat with some melted FunCakes Deco Melts Snow White. Make the pompom using a FunCakes white mimosa. Use a few cocktail sticks to give the hat a fluffy effect.
For the scarf: roll out a piece of FunCakes Sugar Paste Bella Blue thinly, cut a wide strip and use a bunch of cocktail sticks to create a textured pattern. Wrap the scarf around the snowman and attach it with a bit of melted FunCakes Deco Melts Snow White.
