Easter Cake Pops

For our Easter in Hannibal I made some yellow chicks, white and pink bunny, and Easter basket cake pops!

Baby Shower Cake Pops

I made some jungle themed cake pops for Kathleen's baby shower. I did lions, tigers and monkeys (oh, my! LOL) and I used both short and long sucker sticks. The all traveled safely in "the box" and only a few of them touched into the walls making small marks on them. The display I made was a diaper cake and it worked wonderfully!

Baking Wil's Birthday Cake

Wil got to help me make his birthday cake pops cake. He got a grover cake and football cake pops...yum!

Valentine Cake Pops!

Had a success with strawberry cake and strawberry icing red heart shaped cake pops. Didn't have any of them crack this time and all of them stayed on the sticks...success!

Hancock Thanksgiving

My turkey cake pops made another appearance for Thanksgiving so all "the cousins" could try one. They tasted just as good as they looked.

Aunt Carol and Uncle Dave and Kathleen and Alan both were able to make it from KC for the great day and wonderful food!

The Turkey Cake Pops

I was inspired again by Bakerella (http://www.bakerella.com/) to make turkey cake pops for Reagan to take to class for her birthday snack time. It was a long process, but it was worth it to see the kids eat them up. Here is a sampling (these went much better than the apples and pumpkins I had done the last time)...I used chocolate almond bark, stick pretzels, pretzel M&Ms, and candy corns to complete the look.

Channeling my inner Bakerella

If you have never checked out the Bakerella blog site, I urge you to. There is a link to her blog page ont he right-hand side of the page. She does the cutest cake pops ever...what a labor of love they are! I decided I would try them for Reagan's fall festival at her preschool. I made orange pumpkins and red, yellow and green apple cake pops. I started with the orange and worked my way through, green, yellow and then red. I think you can tell by my pictures that my dipping technique improved (as did my refreezing after putting the stick in...this was missed with the pumpkins which is why we had some causualities there). Enjoy!
