Update on Cake Pops

While I was away from my website, I was on Facebook. I have been watching my fan base climb and climb and (as of 2 pm on June 23) I am a 3 away from 500 followers! I can’t believe it! I know I am still a total novice, but people Like me, the really LIKE me 🙂
A few of my fans asked how I made my marbled cake pops. I took some pictures and added a little tutorial and posted it here. However, my fans wanted more! They wanted a video. So I was kind enough to oblige.

Next, my fans wanted to know how I add the wonderful shimmer and shine to my pops. I tried to explain how easy it was to just take a dry paint brush and brush it on. Simple. Cake Pop, Luster Dust, paint brush; apply like eye shadow. Words could not convey how easy it was, so I made another video.

One day I posted these basic pops with stripes around them. My fans went nuts!
“How did you make the stripes?”
“Did you use a piping bag?”
“Did you use a squeeze bottle?”
“Did you use a baggie?”
I was a bit baffled because I use none of those things. I use a spoon and let the chocolate do the work. Then I doubted myself – Was I doing something wrong? Should I use these other tools? Am I not “fancy” enough or “professional” enough? But, what I do works for me. I like it. It’s easy. There is no wasting candy coating.
