The new thing around here is cake pops!  Kids love cake on a stick.  I have wondered how cake pops are made and this recipe book explains it.  Plus I really was even more clueless on the icing part! As I have been flipping through this book I see such cute ideas for cake pops.  This recipe book gives some really cute ideas for cake pops!  I really like the roses cake pop, I think they would make a cute centerpiece at a bridal shower!

Oh, this book has it all, a section on cookie pops, pie pops, and a section all about "outside the box" pops with some really neat ideas for sweets on a stick.  I must have the crispy nutter pops.

Sometimes I fall short for creative ideas, and this book will keep me busy making unique sweets for awhile.
