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.

These cake pops would be an awesome idea for the birthdays - it's hard to come up with unique, fun things to have - it's all been done and of course, she wants to have a party as good as her friends. We stay simple though.
