After a long cake pop hiatus, I dug out my Babycakes maker in time for baby Bethany's first birthday, complete with a Noah's Ark-themed party. Rather than focusing on making complicated animal cake pops, I opted for simple blue, yellow and green pops displayed with animal cut outs from my Cricut Critters cartridge.
I followed Annie's Eats' tutorial on how to build a cupcake tower. I opted for a thick cyclinder for the first tier so I can display the super cute Cricut animal critters that were part of Noah's ark. The original plan was to make rainbow cake pops on the top tier but time and work got in the way. If I were to make this again, I'd definitely spend the time to make the rainbows.
I love this creative display + simple cake pops combination more than just making creative cake pops. When attempting more complicate designs, like butterflies, I require the use of fondant, gum paste and royal icing. In my opinion, none of these taste very good and really compromises the flavor and taste of the cake pop. By fitting the display to the theme, I can make more simple pops and really let the taste of the cake pops shine.
