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!
