CaKe PoP CrAzY!

Cake pops are my new favorite project I've been hooked on these last few months. I have always looked forward to the weekend for my two days off but now I get excited to make cake pops on my days off. I usually make them on Sunday with my Gran. I've been able to learn how to make these sweet treats without my machine and now I make each pop by hand. The machine is perfect and I love it still but I've found a new way to make them and shape them any shape or size. If I want to make a bunch of the round ones I'll use the machine. But lately I've been hooked on seeing what I could make on a tiny little round ball of cake. Pinterest has also played a huge role in my creative brain wanting to try new designs, shapes and colors. Jaclyn and I had a cake pop day on my day off and we had tons of fun. Elizabeth and I played cake pops one night along with a few beers and Mob Wives. ( lol... yes, we watch that show while making the pops) I've made more than 500 cake pops since December 2011. AC Moore, Michael's and Hobby Lobby have been my go to places for supplies. I'm so thankful for the weekly 40% and 50% off coupons. :)

I've enjoyed bringing these pops to work on Monday's and passing them out to everyone. A cake pop will brighten any ones day. Well from making them and bringing them each week people have wanted to place orders. I also have to say Facebook has also helped me with orders. What a perfect treat for V-Day! I've now make cake pops for a b-day party and I have several request for V-Day.

Tomorrow is FRIDAY and that puts me one day closer to the weekend and CaKe PoP CrAzY time!



Hello Cake Pops!

It's been a while since I've blogged but I've been busy/ lazy. Ha Ha... at least I'm being honest. It all started with a simple post on my Facebook wall of the BabyCakes Cake Pop Maker saying, "Dear Santa, I've been really good this year.!!! Love, MeG! Then I posted the picture of the little pop maker. (It's kind of like a waffle iron but with little round circles.) Well, Santa must be a Facebook stalker because he saw my post and I got TWO for Christmas! Next year, Santa will get cake pops instead of cookies! My sweet Granny and Pop bought me one of them and Jason's awesome sister bought the other! AKA... Santa!





The first pops that were made were just plain yellow cake with white chocolate icing and a rainbow sprinkles on top! Thanks to Ali and Claire for being big helpers! We ended up making 120 balls from two cake box mixes. A LOT OF CAKE POPS! But the great part was if you leave them in the freezer you can saved them for up to 4 weeks. So The Durbin's had plenty of leftover cake balls to dip once we left. We made 68 for Claire's class at school. Such a cute idea for a mess free treat! The best part about these cake pops were that everyone help! Shannon, Claire and Ali each played a role in these tasty first timer pops. I also was able to use some tips and tricks I found on Pinterest.

Of course I used my camera (which still seems brand new to me) to capture every moment of this fun time with the little girls and big girls!





This is the idea I found on Pinterest for letting the cake pops dry!
