Snow Queen Cake Pops
You must check out this Snow Queen Cake Pop that Kiss and Bake up posted in my Flickr group: CAKES ON A STICK. It is one of the most amazing cake pops I have ever seen.
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!

It's a Christmas Cakepop
Thanksgiving was lovely and I love all the smells of different food wafting through the house but I am one of the people. The Christmas people. By the time Thanksgiving rolls around I am almost dying of impatience to decorate the house. No matter how much I want to I just can't skip Thanksgiving and decorate before we sit down and eat our Thanksgiving meal. That being said, when I started making cake pops this weekend it was for a very special friend who happens to be my EMT Partner. He received a big promotion and today is his last day as my partner. The plan was to make secret ninja cake pops because he is a secret ninja taking over the world...but what happened was...Christmas music and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I made one ninja cake pop and some how the entire batch turned into Christmas cake pops. I saw one little girl walking in the parade with a red Berra and I was lost in Christmas. So my partner got a cake pop gift of Christmas with one secret ninja!
Step 1: Bake your cakes (use your good ole box variety or your grandma's passed down generation recipe)
Step 2: After cake cools crumble that baby up and mix in your frosting (I used cream cheese frosting
because I made a red velvet cake)
Step 3: Form your cake balls with a small ice cream scoop or your hands and let chill at least 10 minutes in
freezer. I also dip my Lolly-pop sticks in melted chocolate and stick them in the cake balls before
I chill them so they are sturdier to dip. If you are new to cake popping and need more detailed
instructions go to: Bakerella she the Queen and Master of all things cake pops and her
tutorials are awesome.
Step 4: Dip those cake pops in the candy melt or chocolate of your choice and decorate like your Van
Gogh looking up at a Starry Night.

| You need your edible disco dust. Christmas was made to sparkle. If it is a stocking/ornament/light and it doesn't sparkle you better keep it cause this girl wants glitter in her Christmas. |

| Now Cupcakes...I am working on my royal icing work but we aren't there yet so I got these cuties a my local cake decorating store and they are too cute for Christmas words!  Little Red Berra Cake Pop Find your theme and inspiration. Mine was a little girls red Berra in a Christmas Parade.  I like to take the first two or three cake pops and test out all my decorations to see what I am going to like best. Don't be shy...let your inner Pollock run free.  |
