The Partiologist: Frankenstein Wedding Portrait Cake Pops!

Frankenstein Wedding Portrait Cake Pops!

My last post was about cookies on a stick and today it's cake on a stick.  Also known as
"Cake Pops".  And not your expected cake pops. Yes, it's cake, on a stick only it's square.  And you could probably hang them on your wall if they weren't on a stick.  Why?  Because  they are wedding portraits of Frank and his Bride.

Frank N Bride
 


So what do you think?  Hang them or eat them?
 
The frames sparkle in black~
 

Want to make your own collection to hang?
 
Here's how~
 
 
 
Start by making a frame from black fondant.
 
The mold I used is from Martha Stewart.
 
After pressing the fondant into the mold, remove the excess fondant with a spatula.
 
Remove fondant frame from mold.
 
Sprinkle with edible glitter.
 
Now we need to make the photo mat.
 
 
Roll out white fondant and use an impression mat (any design).
 
Find a cutter that will fit behind the frame and cut out the mat.
 
I added a dusting of grey shimmer dust to the mat with a dry paint brush.
 
Time for the photo...
 
 
I made a royal icing transfer.  Yes. Royal Icing.
 
All I did, was make my RI, find a photo of Frank and his Bride and piped the silhouette.
 
(Add white royal icing detail to the silhouettes)
 
Let them dry overnight and they'll be ready to peel off.
 
Now, on to the cake pop~
 
 
Use the same square cutter that you used to cut your "mat".
 
Press your cake pop mixture into the square and push out.
 
Make two squares.
 
Now here's a little something new to me - CANDIQUIK
 
It melts easily and quickly, has a nice thin coating, and tastes wonderful!
 
CandiQuik comes in Chocolate and Vanilla.  I needed black.  No problem.
 
I started with the chocolate and added black candy coloring until I got a nice black candy coating.
 
CandiQuik comes with it's own melting tray or you can melt it in a jar like I did.   
 
Then I dipped both my square cake pops in the CANDIQUIK and placed the photo mat on the melted chocolate.
 
Now let's put the pop together!
 
 
Pipe a bit of royal icing down the sides of the mat and a dot in the center.
 
Position your frame on the mat.
 
Add the silhouette to the inside of the frame.
 
Now they're ready for display...
 
 
Photo Op Cake Pop!
 
Say Cheese!

    1. Who said cake pops can't be square, right? It's hip to be square!
