In honor of National Cake Pop Day, I had to share this throwback to 2011!

My non-baby days are absolutely impossible to imagine. Honestly, there is no way I would use up my precious “free time” to make cake pops ever again, haha!

But those days were a blast. Remember, Bakerella and I go way back. #winkwink

She has dozens and dozens of ideas, beautiful creations and tips on how to make the best cake pops. There’s no way I could duplicate it and no reason to! Click to check out her site.

Happy February and Happy Cake Pop Day!!

I sure was cake pop crazy back a few years ago! These ones I copied from , but I’d bet they tasted just as divine.

Spearmint tic tacs didn’t appeal to me as a flavor/texture I wanted to include in my cake pop experience, so Mike & I went to the candy store. He found the perfect solution, which I humbly say looks more stem-like than Bakerella’s! Apple-flavored licorice – it’s even a “fall” flavor. ;)

Cake pops take a small eternity to make, so you better make a lot of them and then share them… Several dozen of these went to a big party (with zero photos!), but I managed to save a basketful for some close friends we saw the next evening.

Make sure you check out  for better instructions on how to make them. She’s the creator and pro!

The first time I posted this over four years ago I wrote out and shared photos of all my steps. I subsequently made cake pops several more times over the years and realized my original instructions had flaws.

So now I am just going to point you to the creator of cake pops, ! Her site has much better examples, pictorial instructions and not to mention fantastic ideas.

Did you know she and I go way back? Oh yes – we met in October 2010 and I’m sure she remembers it.  ;)

Oh, and one more cool thing – check out on her website. I’m in the first photo!!

Anyway, cake pops are fun… and I’ll share other posts from the past in which I shared different ones I made… but I am not sure I’ll ever make them again. It might be fun one day, but first of all, they take too much time and second, I can’t get all the goodies to make them down here in Ecuador. :)
