I know, I know. We’ve not even celebrated Thanksgiving yet. HOW cute is this holiday cake pop by Lisa Storms?! I just can’t get enough of these little buggers! Apparently Lisa posted pictures and wrote about how she created these last December. Through my new favorite site Pinterest.com I was able to find this great idea. LOVE Pinterest!
When describing her ah-mazing cake balls she said, “I’ve been wanting to try Bakerella’s cake pops that I am seeing everywhere and thought adding some to teacher gifts would be a good excuse! I did them kind of “upside-down” as I envisioned adding little tags and plopping them down individually onto desks (like in the front office) to stand up on their own. I used red M&M’s for the noses and little pearl sprinkles with food marker for eyes. I have to admit these are kind of addictive to make … and eat. What a fun way to eat a bite of cake without a mess. I wrapped them in lollipop bags and cinched close with a brown chenille stem. I formed a kind of “heart” at each end and them flattened them and twisted to secure to form simple antlers. I twisted one onto each of the gift bags for the teachers using the antlers without realizing this would make the bag fall right over. So I just added another pop inside to balance it out. Twice as yummy I guess!”
What a fun idea to create this holiday season. You can do it just like Lisa, or put your own twist on it. Just imagine how fun it would be to get together with a friend and make some cake pops. If the labor doesn’t interest you, order some from Lisa!
