Flag Cake Pops

Memorial Day/Independence Day/Labor Day brings back memories of my Mom making Flag Cake. To put a twist on a classic, how could I pass up the opportunity to create Flag Cake Pops?  The actual cake pops are made with classic Birthday cake on the inside. They were fun to make and they look stunning!  Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Golden Oreo Crunch Cake Pops

Hi! My friend Amy is visiting my work tomorrow and as a surprise, I made her these Golden Oreo Cake Pops.  These are simple Birthday cake pops, with yellow candy coating, and crushed up Golden Oreos.  Now, I originally wanted to just stick a Mini Golden Oreo on top with some white candy coating drizzle vertically on the cake pop.  However, I could not find Mini Golden Oreos..... I think they are a tough find.

I love the way these turned out - they taste delicious and they kind of turned out looking like buttered popcorn balls, LOL!

Happy Birthday, Tom Ho!

My friend Tom Ho (his last name is Horulko so we call him Tom Ho) is celebrating his birthday today and so for his party I am bringing simple Birthday cake pops. He works at ACME so I decided to use ACME colors (orange and dark blue) for the candy coating and just some miscellaneous sprinkles I found in my collection.

Happy birthday, Tom Ho!

Happy Easter!

Hello again! Today I decided to do some cake pops straight outta the book by Bakerella for Easter -- Chickies and Eggs! 

I was excited for these!  I have to say, though, these took me about 5 hours to perfect.  Simple cake pops with just candy coating and sprinkles take about 2 hours to do.  But these Easter Chickies and Easter Eggs were very detailed and required many steps. 

On the inside of the pops is simple vanilla birthday cake.  They came out gorgeous!  Below are some pics of the cake balls (before they become pops) and the finished product.  You also get a glimpse of my secret weapon -- a miniature cookie dough scoop that helps me produce uniform cake balls.  I don't know what I'd do without it!

Happy Easter everyone!!!

French Vanilla Birthday Cake Pops

Hi! Katherine & William, my twin niece & nephew are celebrating their 2nd birthday this coming weekend.

For their birthday party, I made some of my classic Birthday Cake Pops.  But I added a bit of a twist.  I have seen Betty Crocker French Vanilla cake mix on the shelves the last few months of my cake-pop-making and have been tempted to test it out. 

So that's what I did for these cake pops.  I crumbed the French Vanilla cake along with a dollop of Cream Cheese frosting.  I further coated them in some multi-colored candy coating and topped with random nonpareils and confetti sprinkles.  They turned out tasty!  And the French Vanilla cake certainly is different!

Happy 1st Birthday, Julia Elizabeth!

I made these for my niece's first birthday party.  My sister-in-law, Amanda, is a fellow baker and I wanted to impress her :)

These are Birthday cake pops dipped in Pink and Violet candy coating and sprinkled with Confetti Sprinkles I found at Merrymead.

They were a huge hit during the party and there weren't any leftover! 

Valentine's Day Cake Pops

As I stated before, Birthday cake flavored pops are my absolute favorite.  I used a simple Vanilla cake recipe and dyed the cake batter pink using about 30 drops of red food coloring.  I then rolled the cake balls and used Red, Pink, Violet and White candy melts.  I sprinkled them all with several varieties of sprinkles and sanding sugars.  I had some help with these cake pops... Thanks Lori and Serena!

GAYke Pops!

It snowed the day I made these. Birthday cake (vanilla cake) pops are my personal fave, so I wanted to make them using all colors of the rainbow :-)

White cake crumbled with vanilla frosting, coated in all 6 colors of candy coating, and sprinkled with nonpareils.  These were DELICIOUS!

Birthday Cake Pops: My First Time :)

I made my first cake pops on December 30th, 2011. I wasn't scared, I was excited.

I started simple and basically copied the Birthday cake pops Starbucks sells. Bakerella's cookbook will tell you to crumb your cake and use about 1/3 of a can of frosting.  I did this, and the cake balls came out WAY too moist.  But I found a way to make it work.

The quality is horrible, but here is a pic of my first ever cake pops!
