Here's what you'll need
Chocolate coated sunflower seeds colours: anyone you want. brand we used Kimmie Candy
Candy Melts: White and Light Brown  Brand: Wilton or CK
Lollipop Sticks
Black food marker  Brand: Americolor or Wilton
For an intro of how to make you cake pops and how to melt you candy melts
Please watch our tutorial on You Tube. It gives you a great intro to the fundamentals of cake pop making. 

How to shape your horse shape:

First roll your cake balls into appx 1" diameter size

Take each cake ball and sqeeze them on the side to make an oval shape

Take your index finger and put a lil dent in the middle of the oval

give the front half of oval another squeeze 

This is what you'll get. Profile of horse.

Now lets bust out these fabulous chocholate covered sunflower seeds:)

Separate the brown ones (horse ears)  ahead of time. 

Prep your chocolate candy melts for dipping. To get a detailed step by step on how to melt your candy melts perfectly. Please check out our Cake Pop DIY on Youtube.

Dip your lollipop stick into the melts and stick it into your cake pops.

Dip your dark brown sunflower seeds into the melts and stick them onto your pop.

Mr. Ed is starting to come to life:)

Allow your ears and lollipop stick to harden in fridge for about 5 minutes. 

Freezer takes less time.

After your ears have set, you may dip your pop into chocolate candy melts.

To avoid any parts from falling off, take a spatula to coat the candy melts onto your cake pop

Tap your pop on your fingure to avoid getting any chocolate onto your clean lollipop stick.

Sooooo Handsome!!!

At this point you can take a pair of tweezers to add some black choco-sunflower seeds (hair)

in between the horses ears.

1 piece

2 pieces

3 pieces. 

Seriously!!!! I can't contain myself:)

Dip him into some melted white candy melts for his nose and mouth.

Speechless! I know. Hold your horses, it gets WAY better:)

With a foodmarker, draw on the eyes and smile.

Horsing around was never this much fun. 

Now that you can make a horse, your options are endless.

Get creative and use different color sunflower seeds for the hair. 

Mr. Ed is liking these beauties too. 

Happy Chinese New Year!
