Cake pops and cookies that I have done while on my break!

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!! Long time no post!

Well! It has been a very crazy little while since my last post! I have been dealing with a LOT of orders, being pregnant, sprained my foot, having to change my business name!!! I am now Carmen's Edible Creations! Long story but it all worked out in the end. Oh and I am working on a website so at some point I will be no longer posting as the website will take over this blog.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays so far and wanted to share what I have been up to!

I have some Xmas pops and some more airbrushed cake pops as well! Here are some pics!

Playing with some more Xmas cake pops!

I am 100% loving baking of all kinds and Christmas is my favourite time of year that's when all the baking magic happens!!!! I was playing with some designs  for Christmas and here are a few. I actually baked a vanilla cake and coloured it green so inside the cake pops where a nice Xmas green color for a little more of a wow factor!!!! Enjoy!

Not only cake pops here but yummy bars being sold as well!

So I have three new bars to add as I am not a one trick pony!!!!! I made some Lemon Bars which are just delicious and just tart enough and goes perfect with coffee!!!!! Here is a pic!

Also my Turtle Bars which are so good you can't just eat one! Although they are very rich in taste it is a perfect bite to satisfy the sweet tooth! Check them out!

Last but not least Chocolate Caramel bars these guys are again great with a coffee and perfect for your office party or Christmas party! They have a crumble top and milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate and caramel drizzle in the inside!!!!! Delish! Her is a pic!

Baby shower pop!

Hello! Sorry I haven't been on in a while but man can life get busy!!! I did manage to sneak in some new designs for cake pops and I have some addition for some yummy bars!!!!!!

I recently got an order for twins! Boy and a girl and the request was for baby feet and blue and pink cake pops with chocolate for the flavour! I was glad to put another design to the mix but I am not gonna lie the baby feet were very tedious! Here is a pic of what the final product looked like! Enjoy!

Frosty the Snowman cake pops are here!

So I think all of us remember the good old cartoon Frosty the Snowman and of course Frosty Returns!!!! I love watching it over and over and now watching it with my son is even better.

While watching it I thought hey why not make a cake pop out of him!!!! So I did! Hope you like it!

Just a reminder that the sooner you get your orders in for Xmas the better your chances as I am filing up fast!!!! I will be posting more Christmas cake pops in the the next couple weeks! Also if there is something I haven't done and you would like to see email me at carmensediblecreations@gmail.com

Custom Baby shower design!

So I was asked to do a  baby shower for a client. Just so you are aware I will do custom pops for any occasions. For this particular order the theme was Zebra print, Pink and Purple and a request for baby feet. So I did some brainstorming and came up with this!!! Here is a picture!!!

I also had the pleasure of taking a class with Celebrity wedding cake designer Jay Qualls and I had a blast learning some new ideas for cakes. I am not doing cakes right now as I would like to master some things first. So here is a little peak at what I learned but I have not finished it yet. I will be starting cake orders in June of 2012. Here is the pic!

I had a blast and can't wait to get into all things cake pops, cakes and cookies is something else I would like to master!!!

I will be posting more pics on cake pops for Christmas soon as well!

Christmas Cake Pops!!!!

So I know we haven't even had Halloween yet but I couldn't help myself to do a couple trial runs of some Christmas cake pops!!! I have been using my new airbrush and loving it!!!!! I played with making a present and ornament for the trial run and they turned out pretty good!

I have a baby shower order tomorrow and I will also post some pics when done!!! I will be attending a very well known cake celebrity's class tomorrow at For Cake's Sake in Abbotsford! The Jay Qualls from Cake Boss The Next Great Baker!!!! So I am going to dive into some cake making. Of course I will post some pics as well!!!! Stay tuned...........

I will also be putting up some more baby shower ideas and of course what is around the corner but Christmas!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!

Gumpaste Figures for a baby shower!

I love doing any baking for baby showers! Whether it is cupcakes or cake pops! I just recently bought these baby shower themed moulds. Thought I would play with them see what happens, then low and behold I have a cupcake order this weekend for a baby shower! I will post more pics when I am fully done the order but here is three of the moulds!  The sleeping baby will be the only one at the top of the tier and then I will be doing pink and blue of the rattles and ABC blocks as well as booties and a duck and  baby bottle to sit on top of the cupcakes!

1st Birthday Pops!

So my little niece has her 1st birthday so I was asked to make some cake pops. The color scheme was pink and purple. I did some swirls, used some sanding sugar to get some sparkle. I uses gumpaste for the #1's. The cake was a funfetttie with rainbow chip icing!. Here is a pick!

Halloween Cake Pops

So yes it is that time to start getting the house smelling like fall baking, and decorating everything to get the spooky Halloween feel! I love Halloween, seeing all the houses done up and the kids having so much fun dressing up and going trick or treating. I thought I would do a variety of cake pops as one of my classes that I will be teaching at For Cake's Sake will be a fall/Halloween theme. I started with the ghosts, and did Jack from my favourite show A Nightmare Before Xmas in case some of you do not recognize the character.

I am waiting for a huge colored chocolate order in a couple days and then I will be doing some pumpkins, mummy's, ghouls and maybe a witch if I have enough time with all my orders. So I will post a pick of what I have done to date and stay tuned for more! Don't forget to get your Halloween orders and Christmas orders in the sooner the better!!!

Beach Themed Cake Pops!

So last little bit of summer before all the kiddies go back to school. I know for some moms thank the lord right! I thought since the weather here has been a little off the last couple days I would make some summer pops to bring the sun back! I used a Cinnibon cake with vanilla frosting. I used graham cracker  crumbs for the sand and bought these cute little guys on top at my local cake place For Cake's Sake in Abbotsford!!! I hope you like them and hope they bring the sun back!!!!! I will be working on baby shower cupcakes and baby shower cake pops and of course the best ever Halloween pops!!!!!! Happy baking!

So Happy to announce a New Cake Decorating and supply store!!

I am in Maple Ridge and as you may know there isn't a whole lot of access to much. We have another great store in langley Scoop N' Save but I hate having to pay the toll everytime I go across.

Swirl/Marble Cake Pops

I have been seeing a lot of cake pops lately that are swirled or marbled if you will. Love the the look so I thought I would give it a go! There are 2 methods one where you mix two colors with each other and the other where you dip the main color and then with a spoon take the other colors and get it messy and tap it until they naturally swirl around. I did it the last way and so far so good. I thought for sure it would be difficult but it really wasn't that bad! I have some pics that I did of chocolate and peanut butter swirls. Enjoy!!!!

On another note I am trying may hardest to keep this updated but I have a lot going on wiht being pregnant and mom and my big girl job!!! So I hope you to be more on the ball with more thing to bring you!

Back from holidays! Ready for some more orders!

So I am back from a very much needed holiday. We didn't go anywhere crazy just to Vernon to visit the parents but it is so nice there!!!! Also I am feeling much better out of my first trimester and the major sickness, feeling yucky and dead tired is slowly escaping me. Before I went on holidays I did my biggest oder for a wedding of 130! It was for a repeat customer who wanted cupcake cake balls as Thank You gifts for her guest. I will post a pic here as well. When I got back I also indulged in making Turtle bars sooooo yummy as well I will post pics and the recipe shortly!!! Glad to be back to baking!!!! 5 more months then no more real job and focus on my baking wooohooo!!!!!! Thanks to everyone for your support!!!!

Summer Holidays

Hello everyone! Hope you are enjoying your summer, well if you call this weather a summer! Just a heads up I am not taking any orders for the next 2 weeks as I will be away and finishing off my last huge wedding order for 130!!!!! So I will back August 08, 2011. If you have an order make sure you give 1 week if you need something somewhat quick and if you need to place a larger order the more notice the better as I am booking fast and also doing pastry school and a Baker's Market I have to get ready for in the Fall. Take care everyone!!!!!

P.S. I am also not taking cake orders right now until October as I am doing my schooling, sorry for any inconvenience.

Olivia the Pig!

Olivia the Pig!!!! She has been around for ages as I can remember reading her books when I was little, so now she is back with her own cartoon on Treehouse! So I did my research and watched it and went on the website. The request was Olivia the Pig themed pops and the request was colors being black, white, pink and red with stripes and polka dots being the obvious theme.

So I decided to go with attempting Olivia, she turned out pretty well but I would have liked to have had a more muted pink with some peach in it but I did not have that option (my area doesn't have a whole lot of cake decor places). All in all she turned out pretty well. I then decided to make her stuff animal as well as a character. The other pops are pink with white polka dots and then white pops with black fondant stripes which were very hard to do but turned out good. Lastly was the red pops with a design of white and black. The ideas are really endless but this is what I came up with. Hope you like it and feel free to comment!!!! Here are some pics!
