📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bake cake and allow it to cool fully.
2
While cake is baking and cooling, prepare the frosting.
3
In a large mixing bowl, add cake, frosting and mix until you have a dough-like consistency which is moist and slightly crumbly.
4
Start by adding a little frosting a (1 tablespoon at a time), while mixing. The amount of icing will depend on how moist your cake is. Typically, you need to add more icing to dry cakes and less icing to moist cakes.
5
Use a small ice cream scooper or spoon out small portions of this mixture and roll into balls.
6
Place them on a baking tray, lined with wax paper.
7
Dip the tip of your lollipop sticks in melted white chocolate and push these coated sticks into cake balls.

While those are chilling, prepare the wafer cone hats. Pour melted green chocolate on an upside down wafer cone. Before the chocolate has a chance to set, sprinkle green sanding sugar. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature.

Add details to the hat with fondant or candies and stick them into place with melted chocolate.

For the leprechaun's hair, beard and mustache, use melted orange chocolate that's been poured in a squeeze bottle. Create a rustic hairy pattern/design with the tip of your squeeze bottle, wherever necessary.

For the eyes, you can use store-bought eyeball candies or use a large round or oval sprinkle and draw details on it with a black edible marker. Stick them into place with melted chocolate.

For the nose, use a large round red sprinkle and stick it into place with melted chocolate and you are done. Enjoy.
