So what exactly constitutes Moroccan-Themed Cake Pops? I really have no idea but I imagine they would consist of bright bold colors, gold and intricate filagree-type designs. Morocco was the theme for the 30th birthday picnic we threw last weekend for our good friend. As I was assigned to the cake and cake pops, I opted for bright colors to coat the cake pops, bright flowers made from gum paste and gold sugar-covered swirly designs.
I am starting to learn how to use gumpaste and fondant to make cute "accesories" for the cake pops and cupcakes, including investing in the Wilton flower kits. For these cake pops, I opted for the flower that looks like a star (the name escapes me). I used white gumpaste and colored it with color gel. Once cut, I placed the flowers in my cake pop tray so they could dry and harden in the shape of a blossom.
We displayed the cake pops in a wood box with green foam and a moss overlay, courtesy of Lumiani Events. There were 4 "mountains" in the display, two of which were used to hold real flowers and the other two, cake pops. Pretty neat, isn't it? This is one of the most creative cake pop displays I've seen to date.
