Say 'I Do' with Cake Pops

I'm getting to that age where everyone around me is getting married and everyone has been sending me pictures of wedding cake pops they've seen in all the bridal magazines. Some of these cake pops were ornate and required a steady hand to be able to pull off some of these designs. I will need to practice a lot before I even attempt something like that. I've seen cake pops used alongside the actual wedding cake but mostly, these cake pops are awesome wedding favors. Say 'No' to those dinner mints, candied almonds and personalized M&Ms-- those are so last season. I've seen some pretty cute designs for these wedding cake pops and I mimicked these cute bride and groom ones:

Starbucks Hopping on the Cake Pop Train! Chew! Chew!

This is big news! Starbucks is now selling cake pops at their stores and will promoting them with FREE cake pops to the first 30 customers at every location on March 11th! I love Starbucks and I'm sure they will be great. Just a sign of how big these little pops are getting. See details here.

Tis the Season for Cake Pops

I've been busier than the Keebler Elf this holiday season! I love it though because Christmas is my favorite holiday. I've been keeping myself in the holiday spirit making my Christmas themed cake popsicles since I know I know Santa will be stopping by my house for some! So check out what I have made this year to show Santa what a good lil' baker I've been. (Check out the gallery for more pictures!)

Who's ready for turkey?!

Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner but my kitchen is already surrounded with smells of pumpkin spice cake. It's easy to forget about Thanksgiving since all the stores have moved in the Christmas merchandise the day after Halloween but my family and I have always made this day extra special with our annual dessert competition. Guess what I'll be bringing?

Don't let Thanksgiving Day come and go. Find a way to make it extra special by spending this day with friends, family, football and food.

Scary Movie Pops

 

When my brother requested cake popsicles inspired by scary movies for Halloween... I took this opportunity to have some fun and pay homage to some iconic characters from The Grudge, Hell Raiser and the Saw movies. These were very challenging to say the least. I had to place these silver sprinkles on one at a time by hand and shaped the black licorice for the Grudge Pop's hair. So Happy Halloween everyone and stay safe when you're out there getting your spook on! Check out the gallery more photos!

It's a boy!

Welcome Baby Boy!

My lab mates threw a Baby Shower lunch celebration for a fellow co-worker and while lunch was catered, I brought in dessert! I made little baby chicks, little babies and other decorated cake popsicles for this special lunch. The chicks were fun to do and very whimsical and a great idea for Easter. This is my first time (and successful) at mixing a flesh tone color for the babies as well. So keep me in mind if you're hosting any baby showers soon!

It's show time!

Now showing at the Cake Popsicle Theatre: Cats, Hairspray, Wicked and The Lion King! I had a blast making these Broadway themed cake popsicles for a friend and very happy with how they turned out. I used the theatre posters as the inspiration for the design and set the cake popsicles up on a stage with a city skyline and posters in the background. The design pops did take longer to make but so much fun to mix the colors and use my piping skills on the designs. I will be sad to part with these cake popsicles as they make their way to a party but I know that they will certainly be a hit! Check out the gallery for close up photos!
