February is a month full of Love bugs




These little guys were so fun to make!  I decided not to use lollipop sticks and keep them as cake 'balls' rather than cake 'pops.'  I made a yummy black forest cake (soaked the maraschinos in some Bermudian rum...yum) added some creamy frosting to the crumbled cake and molded egg shapes for my bugs.  After letting them sit in the freezer for a bit, I took them out and dipped them in Wilton red melting chocolate and then used a toothpick to swirl in the hearts and faces with dark chocolate.  Some sprinkle hearts and dots made for the lips and eyes :)  

I hope you all shared the love this Valentine's day with your own love bug *wink.
