Halloween Cat Cake Pops

Posted by: Karyn Granrud / Cake Pops, Halloween

Did you hear about my giveaway? No??
Well I have TWO giveaways today!
UP FIRST! KC Bakes has a white 12 pop cake pop stand for you and I’m including some cake pop molds and a cake pop book!
a Rafflecopter giveaway

SECOND – I’m very excited to be attending my FIRST Blog Conference! It’s an conference hosted ONLINE and the best part is it was on $15 to sign up! The conference will be held October 22-24 in YOUR LIVING ROOM! That’s right – show up in your best yoga pants and log-on from home. You may still want to get a sitter for the kids (I am) or set up a play-date next door, but you don’t have to pack a suitcase and catch at a flight at 6am!

As a really cool raffle prize, they are giving away an Amazon Kindle to one lucky participant! I have a Kindle Fire (and I love it), but maybe if I win it, I won’t have to fight over it with my daughter on the airplane…
So what are you waiting for? Sign up and learn how to build your blog! 
Ok… on to these Awesome Cake Pops!
These are actually not CAKE cake pops – They are still the Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights Cookie Pops.
I wanted to show you another cool Halloween design and how to use the KC Bakes Cake Pop stand when you are using straws in place or your sticks.
After you form you cake balls, you are going to add the straw the same way as a stick. 
Dip 1/4 inch of the straw into the melted candy and then insert the straw half way into the ball. 
I think that a 12 inch straw is a bit LOOOOOONG, so I cut mine in half and insert the cut end.

To stand up the straw, place your lollipop sticks into the cake pop stand.
Dip your cake pop and then slide the straw over the stick.
Even if you leave the stick long, it’ll still hold the pop upright and allow for smooth drying.

I used the Wilton Sugar Sheets and a small cat paper punch to cut out the cat shapes.
Once the pops were dry, I added some yellow full moons and crescent moons and attached the cat silhouette. 
For the full moon, I just dipped the pop into the yellow candy. To make the crescent moon, I used a lollipop stick to draw on the crescent moon. You could also put the yellow into a baggie and pipe it on if you are going to do a lot of pops.

Aren’t these fun? Best part is, they are super easy to make and all your Trick-or-Treaters will be in awe of your mad cake pop skillz!
** Sorry, I can’t find the paper punch online. I bought it at Micheal’s Craft Store recently. I found the paper straws at Target in the Party Supply area.


I like to link up with THESE PARTIES! Check them out!

      You need to get over to the cake area in Micheal's more often. They also have stamps for cakes. It's a huge sponge stamp that you put food coloring on and then stamp you fondant. Haven't used it yet, but it looks interesting.
