Hellooo friends and welcome back!! Today we are making some adorable Gudetama cake pops perfect for anyone who’s a fan of this endearing lazy egg 😄🍳 Hope you enjoy the video!! Wish me luck on finals ahhhh — looking forward to this summer so I can film some more videos for you all!!

Ingredients

• Half of a 9″ x 13″ cake
• 1/4 cup – 1/3 cup frosting
• Candy melts in white, yellow, and chocolate
  • I like to use Candiquik and color it myself using oil-based food color! I find that the consistency of Candiquik is the perfect consistency for cake pops right out of the package (i.e no need to add canola oil, coconut oil, paramount crystals, etc. to thin it out).
• Red and pink Starburst
• Peanuts
• Slivered almonds

Directions

1. Shape half the cake pop dough into ovals for Gudetamas that are lying down, and the other half into half-dome shapes.
2. To add arms to the sitting Gudetamas, dip slivered almonds into the yellow candy coating and stick them into the sides of the cake ball. Alternatively, stick the slivered almonds onto the front of the cake ball for arms that rest on top of his belly.
3. To add arms to the lying down Gudetamas, dip the peanuts into the yellow candy coating and stick them underneath the oval so it looks like his arms are outstretched in front of him.
4. Dip lollipop sticks 1/2″ into the yellow candy coating and stick into each cake ball. Let set completely.
5. Dip the cake pops into yellow candy coating and gently tap your wrist to remove the excess. Place on parchment paper to set completely.
6. Add Gudetama’s face with the white and chocolate candy melts and a toothpick.
7. Dollop white candy melts onto a sheet of parchment paper and spread out slightly to form an egg white blob. Stick a Gudetama cake pop in the center and let set completely.
8. For bacon strips, stretch the red Starburst out into a rectangle (you may have to microwave the Starburst for 4-5 seconds to soften it first). Lay strips of pink Starburst on top for “bacon fat,” then press into the red.
9. Place bacon strips on top of the Gudetamas. If desired, use more yellow candy melts to add arms over the blanket.
