I’m always thrilled when we get a baby girl “cake pop” design request. As the mother of boys, my crib bedding consisted of blue, brown, puppies, boats, plaid…you get the idea.
Our latest request…little birdies to match a darling baby girl bedding set from Pottery Barn called Penelope. Awww!
What do you think?

If you want to see the bedding head on over to Pottery Barn!
I received a special request for Lalaloopsy cake pops. As a mom to boys, I had no idea what a Lalaloopsy was!
I used basic cake pops and dipped them in tinted white chocolate (for skin tones, I slowly add milk chocolate to white chocolate until I see the right shade).
The hair is fondant. The cheeks are “smudged” circles created with an edible pink marker. The eyes are painted on using black color dust mixed with extract (any will do)…same for the smile (you can use an edible black marker too but I find that they are too light. I wanted to use something that would create a bolder look). The bows are simple little heart-shaped candies.
Here they are…

Halloween Cake Pops
Glittery cake pops
fun, fancy, and most of all, they SPARKLE!
You can buy them from us or make your own!
You can add a little sparkle with a dash of disco dust,
more sparkle by coating the pop in sugar crystals,
and EVEN MORE sparkle by adding a dash of glitter to the sugar-coated cake pops!
TIPS!
#1 Tap as much chocolate off of the pop before you add the sugar.
This will prevent the sugar from sliding off the pop and giving you a wrinkled look.
#2 Put disco dust in a clean salt shaker to add a dash of sparkle.
Sprinkle while the pops are drying.
#3 Use sugar crystals over sanding sugar.
The thicker the sugar, the more they’ll sparkle
(keep in mind though they will be “crunchy”).
#4 You can color your own sugar (& nonpareils!) with gel color
(TIP: when making black sugar just use a lot of red and blue…black is usually just very dark purple).
Put sugar (or nonpareils) in a container with a cover (like Rubbermaid or Tupperware), add a small amount of gel color, shake rigorously, open to air dry.
If you are working with a lot of sugar spread it out on a baking sheet or
jellyroll pan to air dry for a few hours.

Have fun!

How much cake goes into a cake pop?
We tested it out. We thought it would be pretty close to an entire cupcake and you know what? We were right.
We baked a tray of cupcakes, iced them, then removed the wrappers and mashed them up into cake balls. We popped them on sticks and dunked them in chocolate. Take a look…
How much cake is in a cake pop?
There you go! Cupcake…errr…cake pop on a stick!
