Molds for Cake Pop Add-Ons

You can find great molds for making cake pop add-ons.  They are all over amazon.com and in stores such as Michael’s and A.C. Moore.  They don’t cost much and you will definitely get your money’s worth!  I bought a mold for small bows for these gender reveal cake pops.  I would recommend using a squirt bottle to get the candy coating in the mold.  I tried it with a small spoon and it made a mess.  I melted pink candy coating and added in some shortening to thin it out.  Then I put it in the squirt bottle and squirted it into the mold.  Once filled, tap the mold on the counter 2-3 times to get the air out.  Pop the mold in the refrigerator for an hour or so.  Gently pop the item out.  You can store add-on’s in a tupperware container for up to 2 weeks.  Happy Popping!

Baby Feet Cake Pops!

A new trend we’ve seen here at Maggie’s Cake Pops is gender reveal parties.  For this party, the sister of the parents-to-be knew the sex of the baby (a boy!) and she ordered the cake pops in blue.  They were delivered with the box taped shut and the parents to be opened it at the party.  What fun!  We’ve also done cake pops with pink or blue cake on the inside and everyone at the party found out when they bit into our delicious cake pops!  These are also great for baby showers!

The baby feet were piped on with vanilla melted candy coating in a squeeze bottle.  You can do the baby feet…it just takes practice, so make sure you have a bunch of cake pops to practice on!

Baby Girl Cake Pops!

We’ve got more babies here at Maggie’s Cake Pops! This time we have baby girls!

I don’t mind telling you, these take forever to make.  I started out with the cake pop decorated with the bow, eyes, nose, mouth and curly hair.  But it just didn’t…pop…for lack of a better word.  Because I design cake pops in my head at all hours of the day and night, it came to me to add the candy necklace piece as a pacifier, like I had seen in a picture somewhere.  But again, it just didn’t…pop.  Yesterday, I had the AHA moment.  I looked in my goody baking bins and found mini cupcake papers.  And they were pink!  Finally I felt like they were cute baby girls.  These cake pops are filled with lemon cake and lemon icing dipped in a vanilla candy coating!  Delicious!

Best of luck to the new Mom and Dad on their sweet little bundle.
