Martini Cake Pops

MARTINI

I had a fun bridal shower order for martini cake pops last week. I love when people order cake pops with unique themes and colors - it really gives us the opportunity to play around with our fondant and gumpaste to design something fun and creative.

These cake pops took quite an effort to figure out. All my previous pieces were created with the help of plungers and stamps. These martini glasses were the first time I had to individually carve out each piece with a small knife and glue together. Good thing the order was for a small amount - this is definitely not a scalable design.

A friend tried to come up with a way to use a paper clip to cut out the shape. He twisted the metal so it resembled one side of the martini glass. I have to give him credit for the crazy idea - although it didn't give you a clean cut on the fondant, it certainly was a clever way to try and make a martini cutter. Thanks for trying Hien!
