Kitty Cat Cake Pops!

My niece turned 4 yesterday and of course we had a fabulous party for her.  When her mom asked her what kind of cake she wanted she said a Kitty cat cake, so we knew that is what we had to do!  Since it was my sister’s daughter she was completely in charge, and I was just the assistant; which was completely fine because I would be the same way with Rory’s birthday! 

Trish, my sister did the big cake herself- it was a jello poke cake so I steered clear of it (because I don’t eat gelatin).  I did make the frosting, but that was just a minor detail….I mainly did the cake pops! 

For the kitty cat cake pops, we made a normal cake pop, however for the ears, we put in white chocolate chips for ears and used a little icing to make them stick to the cake pop, and then we put them in the freezer to get hard.

After they were hard, we took them out and dipped them.  The chocolate chips worked really well, none of them fell off or anything.  We dipped them in the chocolate like normal and they ears turned out really cute.  The whiskers were just twizzlers pull and peels cut really small and the noses were cute edible hearts.  We colored our own frosting and then piped the eyes, ears and mouth. 

It turned out so cute! 
My mom’s birthday is tomorrow…..I can’t wait to make something else!

Farm Cake Pops!

My husband calls me a compulsive baker, and when I get stressed I do tend to bake a million sweet treats and sample them all in hopes to feel better.  I think baking is so much fun, and cute creative decorating can only make baking better!

My nephew recently had a birthday and he is obsessed with cows, literally, cows are in his every thought!  Naturally for his 2 year birthday we had to make something with cows! 

My insanely creative sister decided to make him the cutest barn cake ever.  I wasn't around when she did it but she left the cow and pig cake pops to me and my other insanely creative sister (there are 3 of the insanely creative sisters!)

These were so cute and so simple to make, and the best part was seeing Jamesy's face when he saw the cows and pigs! 

We made a basic cake pop, we used a cake mix but my sister made homemade frosting,  which was good for me because I think some store bought frosting tastes like paste.  For the ears we used chocolate chips and then using cake decorating tools we made noses, eyes and mouths!  it was so much fun to make!  Of course there are always a few cake pop "causalities" that end up getting eaten! 

I will do a cake pop "how to" when I have more time to take pictures of them!  as for now here are the pictures!
