1

Using a spoon, scoop out a ping pong sized ball of cake pop mixture. Roll the mixture in your hands to create a round ball. Repeat this for each emoji. Leave to one side.

2

Melt the yellow dipping chocolate in a microwavable bowl. Dip a cake pop stick about 2cm into the chocolate and insert it into the bottom of the cake ball so it goes halfway into the cake. Place the cake pop into the polystyrene block and place in the fridge to set for about 5 minutes. Repeat with the other cake balls.

3

Making sure the chocolate is still warm, dip and swirl the cake pop into the yellow chocolate. Tap off the excess on the side of the bowl. Place the dipped cake pops into the polystyrene block until the chocolate has set and is dry to the touch.
