Lego Cake pops and more

Lego cake pops before the dipping process

 Well I was asked to make some Lego cake pops for a birthday party a few weeks ago and let me tell you, they were the most difficult pops I have ever made.  I started off as I usually do with my cakes and frosting, then came the shape part it was easy (see above), then I added some candies to make the circle parts of the lego. Now at this time I grew a little worried because of the weight of each pop and there (as far as I know) is no way to make them lighter since you cant' hallow them out, so I tried to make them as much of a reasonable size as I could.

Then came the dipping part ( The yellow color is seen bellow) that was my biggest fear of all, because of the weight of some of these pops I lost a few in the process (they fell apart in the dipping process)and I could not fix them. As I dipped them they started to take their Lego shape, but some of them would not because of the thickness of the coating, so I thinned it out with a little canola oil. Needless to say I am going to find a way to perfect these Lego Pops, it just may take a little time.

Another Cake pop I was asked to make was a purple rattle, now these ones I enjoyed making (they were for a friend of mine) I wanted to make each one a different design and I wanted to use purple and white (she asked for purple) the white made a beautiful complement to the purple. I also used edible pearls on each pop, now I was asked to make 120 pops which is the BIGGEST order I have ever gotten and I think I spent about 3-4 days on all of them. I made fun designs on each of them wrapped them all up individually and tied them with a purple bow, I have to say they all turned out wonderfully and I would do it again.
