Cotton Candy Cake Pops

Greta — Tue, 21 May 2013 08:00:13 +0000

Lori made cotton candy cake pops and they are so fun and delicious! She opted to use cake balls baked in a Babycakes Cake Pop Maker, but the traditional cake truffle filling would work as well. Add a couple drops of cotton candy flavoring oil to the melted candy melts for a yummy flavor, and use paper straws in place of sticks for extra fun. We recommend tasting between adding drops of flavoring oil because its so very easy to add too much.

♥ Supplies
• Yellow Cake Pop Filling
• Pink Candy Melts
• Super White Candy Melts
• Cotton Candy Flavoring Oil
• Blue Non-Pareils
• Light Pink Stripe Paper Straws

Chocolate Gnome Cupcakes

You don’t need to be a gardener to appreciate the cuteness of garden gnomes, especially on a cupcake! Lori made these recently and I just love how the garden gnomes are nestled into their own little outdoor garden scene. If you’re looking for an easy and cute way to decorate cupcakes, I highly recommend loading them with sprinkles and toppers like Lori did here. Its such a fool proof way of cupcake decorating that hides any imperfections and leaves you with impressive cupcakes.
