I made a Mimikyu cake pop!

I was inspired by @prettycakemachine‘s tutorial for her Poe Sisters tea truffle pops and knew I had to try my hand at something similar for cute lil Mimikyu!

This was an intimidating project for me - I’ve never worked with marzipan before, and my previous attempts at even the simplest cake pops were pretty bad. But I’d wanted to do it for months, and I’m really happy with the result!

I made cake pop mixture by combining my home-made chocolate cake scraps with chocolate icing my partner made, making a small sphere and a cone shape. I melted some chocolate and stuck them together, and then used more chocolate to attach peanuts for ears, as well as the little lollipop stick. I then dipped it in melted chocolate, praying it didn’t fall apart on me! I covered it in corn syrup and prepared the marzipan. I coloured a big ball of it yellow, rolled it out, and did my best to try and cover the cake pop with it. (Let’s just say there’s a reason I’m only showing the front of it!) I painted on the face details and ear tips with gel food colour on a little brush. I ripped up the bottom of the marzipan a bit to make it more ragged like Mimikyu!

I really like how it came out!
