Lace Cake Pops!

When I said I tried to add cake lace to my desserts, I wasn't kidding.  This time I added it to the cake pops.  It was truly a simple way of adding a little elegance to the cake pop, not to mention an easy way.  Well, once the lace and cake pops were made that is.

Diamond Ring Cake Pops!

I finally have reason to make the Diamond Ring Cake Pops!  I've had the mold just waiting for the perfect time to use it.  Now is that time.

Sprinkled Cake Pops!

Cake Pops are a great way to celebrate the holidays and they're also a great way to celebrate a birthday.  Today I'm sharing a birthday cake pop idea, simple to make festive with sprinkles and straws.

Pina Colada Cake Balls!

If you like Pina Colada's, getting caught in the rain...I could go on, but I think you get the picture.  When I found this recipe online, I couldn't wait to give it a try.  I waited with high hopes...it was just what I looked for, I knew in an instant...I loved Pina Colada Cake Balls.

Lace Topped Cake Pops!

I admit I can't grow anything outdoors, so all of my urns are inside, being filled with something sweet.  When I ordered these urns, I had plans to use them out on my front step, filled with something beautifully faux.  I found them in a catalog and they were just what I was looking for.  Quickly, I ordered and waited patiently for them to arrive.  Pretty soon, two small boxes appeared on my doorstep, I opened the boxes to find two small...very small urns, about twelve inches tall.  Looks like I should have read the description.

 

I really think it was meant to be, or I would not have had these urns to plant my pretty flower cake pops, right?

Another Way to Serve Cake Pops!

Today, it's not how you decorate, it's how you package that can turn simple cake pops into a shabby chic dessert!  After finding a cute little bike (photo below) with a place to hold a plant, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and it didn't involve dirt.  I found the fabric, ribbon and bows, just couldn't decide what to put inside.  I knew I wanted it to be round... not too big (a popcorn ball) or too small (a truffle) something just right.
Yep, I could be Goldilocks.

 

Finally it came to me.  A cake pop, a simple cake pop just dipped, not decorated. 

Yes, it was just right!

Rose Topped Cake Pops!

You are going to be happy and maybe a little sad when you see this post.  I think you'll be happy when you see how pretty my rose cake pops turned out, but you might be sad I just realized I don't have any photos of the process.  Although it might have been a little hard to get a photo of me in action piping the rose.  I really need to get a you tube life, right?  I thought about "you tubing it" and even had this little stand to hold my camera.  Had is the key word.  I dropped my lap top on the stand and broke off the top, yep, broke it completely off.  Fortunately my laptop was not damaged, it's a monster laptop and can pretty much hold it's own.

 

So for now, I'll just show you the pretty rose topped cake pops and try and explain how I made them.  And maybe someday I'll buy another stand for my you tube decorating debut.

Edible Rose Topiary Trees!

Today's the day you'll want to see what I have in store for you.  If I could choose a favorite from the party, this might be it, although I may have several favorites from the party.  Not only were they perfect for a Shabby Chic party, they would be an adorable addition to your mother's day table.  You haven't forgotten Mom have you?

 

When I found the tiny little pots, I fell in love, everything miniature is the cutest, right? You didn't know they make flower pots so small did you?  I'm not sure what they are for, probably gardening or something.  Now, let's get this straight, you know my terra cotta pots will never be filled with anything that actually grows...just say'in.  Okay, now that we have that out of the way, let me show you what I planted...or should I say baked?

Football Cake Pops!

I burnt the stadium.  Yep, that's right, I had big plans to show you my beautiful stadium cake all decked out for the super bowl.  But instead, I'm showing you football cake pops.  After a person burns a stadium, there is just not a lot of energy or desire to remake the cake. 

 

I barely wanted to make cake pops.  But I'm not a quitter... I wanted to win you over with something before game day.  After eating the salvageable scraps from the stadium, I was full and happy again.  So then I begin making the cake pops.

Leopard Party Table!

The guest of honor is quite stylish, so I thought including a leopard necklace was only appropriate.  It also served as the backdrop for the dessert table.

Black & White Birthday Party!

 Today it's all black and white...polka dots and stripes.  That was the theme for the recent birthday party I hosted.  How did I come up with that idea?  Actually, I had two ideas floating around in my head, kept tossing them back and forth.  Then I went shopping... in every window, I seemed to see black and white polka dots and stripes.  And I found the perfect polka dot dress.  So that, my friends is how this party began...

Stacked Pumpkin Cake Pops!

There's rarely a time when I'm not crafting, and when I'm not crafting, I'm thinking about crafting, which lead me to these stacked pumpkin cake pops.  While thumbing through my fall catalogs, I found the most adorable stacked pumpkins for an urn.  Perfect for my two empty urns out front, only they were a bit pricey.  So I decided to go the less expensive route and this is what I made...

Disney Treats!

Like I promised, I'm going to show you each of the Disney treats I created for my sister's party.  In detail.  I hope you love Disney and if you do, you're in for a Toon Town Treat!

Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops!

Lucky for me, Colorado has had quite a bit of rain this week, which means a nice green lawn.  But that's not the lucky part, this is...

Watermelon Yogurt Pops!

It's June and in my mind that means SUMMER.  What else means summer in my mind?  Watermelon.

Nail Polish Cake Pops!

Feeling the need to be pampered?  I do believe it's time for a party.  A Spa Party.  It doesn't take much for me to get in the mood for a party, in fact, this party was inspired by a box.  In my defense, it was a really cute box with bright neon colors.  And being inspired by the box, I made Nail Polish Cake Pops!

Easter Bunny Cake Pops!

Sometimes you have to be careful who you ask for advice, they just might give it to you!  And it may not be what you want to hear, which leads me to this...After making the Easter Bunny cake pops, I asked my husband if he thought I should have made the noses white.  His response?  "Well, look outside, we have lots of bunnies running around, what color are their noses"?  (Seriously? I thought)  and said, in the nicest way, "well, those bunnies don't have colored ears with bows, or flowers for their tails, so I don't think that will be much help".  I can tell you this because he doesn't read my blog.  Yea, that's what I thought too!

 

Anyway, I left the noses black, because I looked outside and our bunnies have black noses.

Super Hero Valentine Cake Pops!

After seeing super hero valentine suckers flying through the air, capturing the hearts of heroes everywhere, I made them a little sweeter. Cake Pop Sweeter. 

Valentine...You're My Super Hero!

Melted Snowman Cake Pops!

Waking up to blanket of snow, I thought I should make another snowman.  Only the temps are going to reach 60 degrees tomorrow, so he'll probably melt faster then I get him built.  Which makes me think of Mr. Melty.  Mr. Melty is a cookie created by Meaghan Mountford of The Decorated Cookie.  Today I'm giving a shout out to Meaghan and Mr. Melty because he was the inspiration for my "You Melt My Heart" Snowman Cake Pops!

Valentine Mail Box Cake Pops!

You've Got Mail! 
 

Well, you could have mail...Edible Mail.  This mailbox idea has been floating around in my head since last Valentine's Day.  I knew I had to make room for more ideas and get this one out of the way.  Here it is, a Valentine Mail Box Cake Pop, complete with a few love letters.
