When and How to Freeze Cake Pops

For the longest time I wasn't sure if I should freeze my cake pops, I was worried they might get sticky from the condensation and I didnt want to waste any! And the nice thing is cake pops last a long time at room temperature (especially when they are double dipped and in their cute wrappers.) I have had people tell me they found one after 2 weeks and it was still delicious (that is stretching it but they are easily good for 5 days.) If you do want to freeze your pops place them in a plastic ... VIEW POST

Sport Cake Toppers

Cake Toppers tend to be the hit of the party, kids LOVE them. And its more fun that they have a delicious inside instead of solid fondant (which is also way too heavy!) When I am making my rice crispy inside I use THIS RECIPE and I like to let them dry overnight. For the football I used Modeling Chocolate but MM Fondant with a little brown color would work too. I have used both but MC tastes the best :). To make the soccer ball I rolled the fondant, covered it with wax paper and use a ... VIEW POST

Owl Cake Pops

I forgot to take a picture before I dipped them the first time but you can see the 3 steps. I took my chilled pop, dipped the pop stick in chocolate then into the pop, then glued two chocolate chips for ears. (I just used a tiny bit of the chocolate as glue, they stayed on great.)

Cake pops can be frustrating but if you know a few basic techniques they can be so ... VIEW POST

Silver and Gold

To get the long stripes I taped some wax paper on my table because I needed a long smooth service. I rolled my fondant flat, cut stripes and then sprayed them with Duffs Edible Gold Spray. (Let them sit for a couple minutes to dry before applying to the cake.) I put the silver pearls on by putting them in my palm and then gently pressing them into the sides of the cake. I used tweezers to fill in the holes where needed. For the ruffles I cut out circles, ruffled them around the edges and ... VIEW POST
