Christmas Cake Pop Sophistication
Attempting these cake pops is more then a year and half in the making. It was lunch time this exact time last year with my best friend Amanda. We were discussing our differences in styles. This is us...
I am not happy unless something is dipped and dripping in glitter. While we were lunching Amanda said something that struck me (I am sure she won't even remember). She said, "My biggest problem with your cake pops and all this cake pop madness is what if you are a grown up?" "What if I don't want to eat a Princess head or some other cutesie thing." This was just about the time I brought these to work last year for Christmas:
I have been thinking about our conversation since last year. I decided for this Christmas to make a Christmas cake pop a little more on the subdued side. Something a little classier. Something I think Amanda might order if she was throwing a high class Christmas party for adults.
I decided on a simple green candy melt base with red ribbion frosting wrapped around it. (I am still working on my piping skills but I think they came out mostly decent). I hope if you are more classy like Amanda and less glitter like me these cake pops will give you some ideas for your Christmas party this year.
Now about my Glitter Tree!!
Merry Christmas. May all your baking adventures go amazing and if they don't, may you get it on video and put it on youtube so I can laugh along with you!

Mummy Spooky Cake Pops
I received a few emails asking for links to the Mummy Cake Pops I made last year for Jordan's Halloween Party at School. Because this is what I will be making again I decided to share my version of the
Yummy Mummies by Bakerella again this Halloween for your little spooks to enjoy!
FOR SCHOOL:
All children can have allergies to foods like peanuts but special needs children seem to have these allergies at a higher rate. It is a good idea when ever shipping your little hero off to school with a new batch of HeroCakePops to make sure they are labeled with ingredients for the teachers.
Now turn to page 131 in Bakerella's Cake Pop book and lets make some Yummy Mummies!
First we need one mini-hero dressed as a bee....Check!
Then we need to bake our cake - let it cool - mix it with 1/3 can of frosting - roll cake pops!
The great thing about Mummies is they can be what ever color you like best! I dipped my cake pops in white chocolate (candy melts) This part is all up to the artist/baker (or the baker's helpers)!
Then we need some green and white Yummy Mummies!! After baking the basic cake pop (I used a store bought white cake mix for ease) and cooling the mummies were ready to be painted with candy melts.I first coated all the mummies in white like described in the book. Then once all mummies were made I used green gel based coloring (never water) and tinted the rest of the white candy melt booger green! I then used a disposable piping bag to pipe on the mummy wrap!

Paint Your Sweets Green St. Patty's Day!
I know. I know. It is about to be a new holiday and I am about to tell you how it's my favorite. They are all my favorite but can you blame a girl? I like to party. Of course this St. Patty's Day I can't partake of the best adult holiday tradition ever (Green Beer) but I can still get festive with it. So lets paint ourselves green and paint our sweets green too!
First we need supplies: I bought all the following supplies at Party City in their huge St. Patty's Day isle.
Now we shape our cake pops:
Follow basic cake pop making instructions (bake your cake, let it cool, mix in half a can of frosting to cooled crumbled cake and stir until dough like texture).
Get your dip/sprinkle on:
Got Chocolate Molds? Well I am going to show you how to use your favorite chocolate molds
with your cake pops.
Step 1: Melt chocolate or candy melt
Step 2: Fill your chocolate mold with the melted candy melts or chocolate and let harden fully.
Step 3: Once the chocolate mold is hard, leave the chocolates in the mold. Dip your cake pop
in the melted candy melts, tap off excess candy melt, and then turn the cake pop upside
down onto the top of the harden chocolate in the mold. Let the cake pop harden.
Step 4: Once the cake pop outer candy melt coating is harden pop the chocolate out of the mold like
normal and the chocolate piece in the mold will be glued to the cake pop.
St. Patty's Day fun on a stick:
Four Leaf Clover Cake Pops:
Irish Cupcake Cake Pops:
I wanted to have fun with my favorite 3D chocolate cupcake mold as well!
Got Cupcake Toppers you are dying to use? Well your cake pop can use them too!
HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!
PS: Because I have had a few questions on this I thought I would give you a little behind the scenes action of photographing cake pops. I am getting better as I go but it is still hard getting everything right.
My photography friends say lighting is the key. I am going to eventually invest in what they call a light box for my food. Until then this is what I came up with:
First we need supplies: I bought all the following supplies at Party City in their huge St. Patty's Day isle.
 |
| This cute package of cookie cutters is just what we need. We are going to use the littlest cookie cutter to form our St. Patty's Day cake pops. |
 |
| We are going to use green candy melts from Wilton (you can use what ever brand you love and I will use Wilton because I like how it tastes the best) to dip our cake pops. I also bought an orange bag of candy melts since orange is a huge color is St. Patty's Day as well. |
 |
| These are actually cup cake toppers but will work perfectly for our cake pops as well. |
Follow basic cake pop making instructions (bake your cake, let it cool, mix in half a can of frosting to cooled crumbled cake and stir until dough like texture).
 |
| We are going to use the smallest clover cookie cutter in the package to make our cake pop shapes. |
 |
| I turn the cookie cutter with the cutter portion side facing down. I then use my ice cream scoop to scoop out a small portion of my cake pop batter. I push the batter into the cookie cutter until the thing is packed with cake pop batter. |
 |
| After it is packed with cake pop batter flip over the cookie cutter and use your thumb to push out the new shape you formed. Always push from the small cookie cutter side toward the large front to avoid distorting your shape. |
 |
| I found these sprinkles at Party City in the St. Patty's Day isle and thought they were super festive! |
 |
| Orange is a huge color on St. Patty's Day along with traditional green so I had to give orange some love too! |
 |
| If only I could have green beer to go with the green cake pops. |
with your cake pops.
Step 1: Melt chocolate or candy melt
Step 2: Fill your chocolate mold with the melted candy melts or chocolate and let harden fully.
Step 3: Once the chocolate mold is hard, leave the chocolates in the mold. Dip your cake pop
in the melted candy melts, tap off excess candy melt, and then turn the cake pop upside
down onto the top of the harden chocolate in the mold. Let the cake pop harden.
Step 4: Once the cake pop outer candy melt coating is harden pop the chocolate out of the mold like
normal and the chocolate piece in the mold will be glued to the cake pop.
 |
| I let the bottom mold piece harden and then placed the freshly dipped cake pop upside down to "dry" on the chocolate piece. Once it "drys" it will be glued to the chocolate piece in the mold and you will have a cake pop with a cute design on top. |
 |
| I dipped just the sides of this cake pop in sprinkles and left the top clear so the candy melt on the top of the cake pop would act like glue as it dried to the chocolate mold piece. |
 |
| Just make sure you let the chocolate piece in the mold harden before you begin dipping and placing cake pops. |
 |
| If you want the Happy St. Patty's Day words to be more visible you could paint the letters with edible disco dust or use a edible marker to color in the letters. |

I wanted to have fun with my favorite 3D chocolate cupcake mold as well!
 |
| This is my 3D cupcake chocolate mold. You can mix and match color since you harden the cupcake top and bottom separately. |
 |
| These are all yummy chocolate! |
 |
| Once the cupcake mold was read I dipped the cake pop and then before it started to "dry" I placed the cupcake on top of the cake pop. The top of the just dipped cake pop acts like glue as it hardens to hold the cupcake up. |
Got Cupcake Toppers you are dying to use? Well your cake pop can use them too!
HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!

My photography friends say lighting is the key. I am going to eventually invest in what they call a light box for my food. Until then this is what I came up with:
 |
| Beggars can't be choosers lol. I steal my lamp from the living room to help add extra light to the kitchen. I use my laundry basket (forgive it's fullness) to help prop up the lamp. |
 |
| My boyfriend made this amazing cake pop stand out of two cake boards. He just drilled matching holes in them and placed pegs between the two boards. I use my daughters construction paper as my backdrops! |
 |
| And holding up our make shift backdrop is two heavy bottles of what I have on hand. |
