Some extras

I had some extra cake pops from my last batch of wedding cake pops and thought I would try doing some tri-colored cake pops I had seen in the Wilton book. Got inspired by some spring colors. Also I had some left over Valentine's decorations and thought I would post. Not only can this be for Valentine's but for any love related celebration. Come on tell someone you love them with a Cake Pop!!! See below for pics!

Wedding cake pops

Ok so it's super late and should be sleeping but I finished a couple of the wedding pops and had to take pics and post. For my first attempt the turned out not to bad!!! It was a lot easier stacking than expected but my chocolate had some issues. All I need is some more practice and they should come out even better. I think I am going to try a couple other designs with these pops! I made them with a Spice cake and white chocolate coating and had the candy beads and topped with a confetti heart!

Ok I had a little bit of a melt down trying the Swiss Buttercream!!!!! So they cupcakes were a breeze, so sorry for the delay in pics! I will attempt for the 2nd time the buttercream who knew egg whites are so tempermental or that my patience is not as good as it used to!!! I will try again tonight!!!!
