Golf Ball Cake Pops Groom's Cake!

Happy Weekend!  Last sunday night I received a message from an old friend asking if I can do the groom's man cake for her wedding.  She wanted golf ball cake pops for her hubby to be since he's really into golf.  I did a little research and accepted.  I was lucky to find these helpful golf ball molds to assist me in the project

They were a life saver! Although the first few pops weren't pretty, I finally got the hang of it and they came out so great! I added a little blue fondant for the tee and put them in a bucket with grass.  

 

This has definitely been one of my favorite orders so far. Not only did they come out great, but I was able to catch up with a very close friend from high school.  I hope she has a wonderful wedding on Saturday :)

As for me, this weekend I will be competing in the Tough Mudder race in the Poconos. It is a 11.6 mile run with some of the toughest obstacles in the world! Wish me luck!

Happy Birthday Hal!

This past weekend I celebrated one of my good friend's 30th birthday.  He is married to my best friend, Jeana, who asked me to make his cake.  I knew football had to be tied in somehow so I decided to make the bottom layer resemble a football cake. I wasn't too happy with my final product. My bottom cake was uneven, and my letters could've came out better with my eyes closed. I've finally perfected my cake pops, but fondant cake? I think I need a little more practice!

Leopard Cake Pops!

Here are some cake pops I made for a surprise 30th birthday party.  The theme was based off a Christian Louboutin shoe...(right up my alley)

On my top 10 list of favorite things to do, shopping would come right after baking, so you know it is pretty high up there. Aaaahh what I would do for a pair of Louboutin's :)

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

That's right! Spongebob Squarepants! I had an order this week for spongebob cake pops for a 6 year old's birthday party.  They were quite fun to make!

Place your order....

Here's a quick slide show on orders that I've had in the past 3 months! It's been crazy with baby showers, bridal showers, holidays and birthdays! Enjoy!

Wilton Makes It Easy!

I received the Wilton Chocolate Pro for Christmas and I love it! I used it for the first time tonight on my cake pops and it worked amazing. I am in the process of making 100 cake pops for a baby shower and this made the process so easy! The best feature of the chocolate pro is the warm setting. It keeps the temperature consistent with out hardening.  It was also super easy to clean and store.  I highly recommend it!  More pictures to come of the baby shower cake pops!

UPDATE:
Since we're on the topic of cake pops, I wanted to give an update on the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker...It is currently still in the box, in the kohl's bag, unopened! A traditional cake pop is made from baking a cake, crumbling it, mixing the crumbs with frosting, then hand-rolling the crumb/frosting mixture into small balls. The Babycakes maker is simply an oven to make round balls of cake, may come out good, but not the traditional pop you and I are looking for.
