Yoda and Tea Pots

 I had a request to make a Star Wars themed cake pop, so Yoda was a given, as a HUGE Star Wars fan I was excited at this opportunity. I decided that I would take the artistic approach to this pop and try to make him as realistic as I could, ( I used red velvet and Chocolate cake for the pops) I started with a blank canvas just the ears that I made out of the candy coating and candy (as seen on the bottom left picture) then I took a tooth pick as my brush and used the green candy coating as the paint. I "painted" wrinkles and imperfections on him (because lets face it Yoda has a lot of wrinkles), I also squinted his eyes because Yoda never had wide eyes. I then sculpted a nose and mouth for him, the result as you can see left him with a very realistic Yoda look, each pop has a different expression,  each pop took about a good 5 min to make and I made 20 of them too. Now to go along with Yoda I made more pops dipped in blue candy coating and sprinkled with a blue pearlized sprinkles( as seen in the bottom left picture), they matched each other perfectly.

The Blank canvas

Now I had another request for a tea party themed pop, and what goes best with that theme....tea pots. I made them out of red velvet ( a popular cake) so I decided to use a white and red color for them, I used candy coated Licorice to make the spouts and a heart candy to make the handle, and for the top I used a single piece of red candy coating, all in all I say they turned out cute, to make them even more irresistible I placed an edible pearl on the lid. I think these turned out cute and hope to make more of these soon.

"Cars" colors and Tiffany Colored pops

 I had a request for pops for a Jewelry party, and what better Jewelery is there than Tiffanys, I wanted to use their colors and used that as an inspiration for the pops, I used gold and silver pearled sprinkles and found a candy coating in the color of the Tiffany's color. The cake used was red velvet and chocolate (which seems to be a favorite so far), I loved making these pops because them made me want something from Tiffanys.


The next pops I made were for my husband's work, I needed something to work with so I asked my daughter she like Lightning McQueen so I made pops with his colors, in red velvet of course.

Graduation pops

                                                        I had a request to make graduation cake pops using red velvet cake, using four different colors. So I began this journey by making my red velvet cake, and used cream cheese frosting as the glue, I wanted to make it a little more soft so I ended up using more frosting than normal. The result was a tasty soft cake pop, I left a few chunks of cream cheese visible in most of the pops, in reality you really don't want to use much frosting because when you dip the pops they could collapse in the candy coating, but because I was searching for a softer cake I added more frosting. Now the tassels are made out of two different candies, for the yellow tassels I used a banana taffy which I stretched out, I glued them to the cap by using the same candy coating  

which I used to coat the pops. For the white tassels I used matte candy dip that turns hard, it worked out perfectly, I had fun making these pops and would love to make these again soon. More cake pops to come this month so stay tuned.
