Pink Strawberry Cake Pops

I had the pleasure of creating these adorable strawberry shaped cake pops for a little girl's 1st birthday party!

The pops are made of red velvet cake mixed with cream cheese frosting and dipped in vanilla candy coating.

Wanna know how to make them?  It's simple!  Just takes time.

I simply shaped the cake mixture into pyramid shapes, let them chill, then dipped them in the candy coating and attached the sugar pearls while the coating was still wet {you have to work super fast... food safe tweezers come in handy!}

Lastly, color your gum paste to the desired green color and roll out about 1/16 inch thickness.  Cut out the leaves with a small sized fondant cutter (or cookie cutter), roll out a little ball for the stem and attach with a drop of water.  Let gum paste harden slightly then attach to the pops with a dab of melted candy melt.  Brush with sparkly edible glitter!

I am always so pleased and so happy when my customers love their pops.  It takes a lot of precious time and love to make these! 

here is a picture my customer sent to me... love the labels she made for her daughter's birthday party!

Surprise Birthday Pops!

May I present to you my second Etsy order!

These cake pops were a blast to make... my customer ordered a dozen of of my Luscious Lemon pops and requested the colors "screaming mermaid teal" and "electric Big Bird yellow."

She ordered these as a surprise for her twin sister's birthday.  How sweet is that?  

 Although these pictures don't portray the colors well {for some reason they look blue?!}, the base coat was a deep vibrant teal color.  Totally Mermaid worthy!

And let me tell you... the lemon cake and lemon buttercream combo was out. of. this. world.  (Yay for extras! ;)

Thank you for your sweet business!  I can say I'm my own businesswoman now, right?!  ;)

Cowgirl Cake Pops

  As some of you may know, I recently opened an Etsy shop!  

Appropriately named The Gluten Free Wife, I sell gluten free cake pops, sugar cookies, cake balls, focaccia bread, and {non-edible} paper buntings!

And I had my first two sales this past week!    

These cute lil pops were for a four year old's birthday party.  The theme: Jessie the Cowgirl from Toy Story!  How cute!  

I made 2 dozen pops: 12 cowprint, 6 yellow, and 6 red.  And with the classic flavors of Chocolate Fudge and Vanilla Funfetti.   

They were super fun to make... and look so cute!

A big thank you to my customers!  You were a pleasure to work with!  :)
