Happy 39th Birthday Mom!
It seems that she is turning 39, again... for the +20th time...! Lol!
Last year, I made her a cake, but this year, she's getting CAKE POPS!
Fun, little Cake Pops, because the are, well, fun!
Her favorite color is RED so I made them red cake pops with chocolate frosting dripping over the edges. And lets face it, we can't have a birthday cake without sprinkles!
I hope you liked them, Mom! Happy Birthday!
To make these Cake Pop you will need 1/4 of a 9 x 11 cake and a 2 Tbls of frosting. Combine them in the mixer and then measure out 12 equal cake balls.
Wanna see a video of me making some pops? Click HERE!
2. Shape the cake balls into hockey pucks by gently flattening the top and bottom and then pinching the edges to get a sharper edge. Then place into the fridge while you melt your candy coating.
3. Melt some Candy Melts according to directions. I used less than half a bag of Red Melts. Dip the stick into the melted candy and then into the cake ball. Complete all pops. Dip the cake pops into the candy and coat completely and stand up to dry.
4. Melt some Chocolate Candy Melts. Place a 1/4 cup of melting chocolate into a baggie and snip off a tiny tip. Dip the top of the cake pop into the chocolate and then...
5. ...draw the dripping edges with the chocolate in the baggie. Work quickly and don't let the candy harden.
6. Sprinkle tops with colorful sprinkles. Add a candle if desired. Stand up to dry.

Your photos look great. Happy Birthday to your mom.
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute. Pinning them for our next party.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! happy birthday to her!
ReplyDeleteI have seen a lot of cake pops in my day and these are one of the cutest! Happy Birthday to your mom!
ReplyDeleteFirst I need to start by saying your pictures are OUTSTANDING!! I love the one with the candle that was blown out and how you captured the smoke with such clarity. Each shot is absolutely beautiful. The bonus is that on top of all that, this recipe sounds so good and these pops are adorable. Everything a good piece of cake should be... cake, frosting, chocolate, sprinkles. Love them!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, these look so amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy "39th" Birthday to your Mom ! I love the cake pops, as usual you did an amazing job :-)
ReplyDelete{ps: I turned 21 for many, many years until my son worked out that I would have been something like 10 when I had him ... I actually had him when I was 22 ! - anyhow, I had to start celebrating my birthday with a more "acceptable" age}
I really, really, really, love these Karyn!! Your mom is lucky!!! I'm going to have to attempt these for my birthday!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! You really outdid yourself on the photography, EXCELLENT pics!

These are wonderful! I love them. Perfect birthday treat =o)
ReplyDeleteWow amazing idea with the candle, have never seen it before! Thank you for sharing the awsome idea, so nice job!
ReplyDeleteQuick questions: Is 9x11" cake correct? I've never heard of this size of a cake. 9x13" sure, but 9x11"? Never! Thanks so much for your time.

My son's 20th birthday is coming up and I have been planning his birthday care package. A cake is not very mailable and cake pops had crossed my mind, but I couldn't think of how to decorate them. I am soooo happy to have found your blog and this post! This will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Your photos are amazing, especially that last one with the smoke... you'll have to come visit and give me some lessons - they're awesome! And the red really makes them WOW!
ReplyDeleteBy now I think you know that I love all your creation, but I might have just found me new favorite! What a lovely idea :)
