Cake Pops

Another reason my life has been so hectic lately is because of cake pops! On last Thursday, I made 156 pops! Starting the week before Valentines to now, I think I have made close to 30 dozen! Crazy, but I am so thankful. Because of God's generosity, half of my mission trip is already paid for!!!!

Here are some pics of my latest cake pop adventures.

After creating three dozen heart shaped cake balls as an experiment, I decided I didn't want to advertise these because they took forever. I couldn't of handled all of my Valentine orders as hearts; 15 dozen hearts would have sent me over the edge!! However, I think they would be adorable for a princess or fairy birthday party sprinkled with pink sugar and tied with a cute ribbon. Stars would be cute too. So, if you want a couple dozen for a party, call me :)

The bumblebees were ordered by my sister-in-law for her sister-in-law's baby shower. I thought they turned out really cute considering I had no idea what I was doing. The tricky part was getting the wings right. I finally settled on quartered black candy. You can't tell, but the pops were shaped like bees and even had a stinger on their hiny. I made homemade lemon cake for the bees and the striped pops are chocolate cake.

Something unexpected that has come from this little business is being able to share my faith and the needs of Haiti. People always ask me how I got into making cake pops and this allows me to tell them about MOPS (the moms at my table were my guniea pigs), Haiti, and the goodness of God.

** If you want to order some cake pops, here are the details.**

• All money goes to our Haiti mission trip!!


• Simple round pops are $15 a dozen, custom pops, like characters or shapes, are $20 a dozen (these are very time consuming)


• I make all cakes from scratch, so far flavors are chocolate, vanilla (which is the favorite), and lemon. I'm looking for a good strawberry recipe if you have any suggestions.


• I generally use vanilla frosting unless requested otherwise.


• The pops are dipped in vanilla or chocolate flavored coating.


• Simple pops are sprinkled or drizzled with coordinating colors.

If you want to order some just let me know. Even if you live out of the area, we could probably figure something out.
