Cake pops have become my new hobby - allowing me to combine my love for baking with the arts & crafts skills I've acquired through the years. Except now, rather than using paints and glitter, I am using coloring gels, chocolates and sprinkles.
For my nieces' second birthday, I decided to make cake pops in their theme of pink, purple and butterflies. I searched high and low for this butterfly plunger that would allow me to stamp a pretty butterfly onto colored fondant for the pops. I also made the switch to Merkens candy melts - they taste so much better that Wiltons and also melt and coat the cake pops alot better too. I like buying the white candy melts and playing with the candy food coloring to get the desired shades of colors.
I have yet to figure out the best way to transport these. For the party, I stuck them into styrofoam, only to have the styrofoam tip over and scatter the cake pops all over my car. Can somone please design an efficient cake pop carrier?
