The nose was a Smartie. The ears were warmed and formed Starburst cut into triangles. The eyes and nostrils were done with black gel. I learned that you cannot wrap them if using gel because it won't set. For future reference, I will use candy coating or melted chocolate next time. Also, if I do them again, I will make a curly tail out of warmed and formed Starburst and attach it to the back.
These were the next ones I did. They were meant to be smiley faces with birthday hats on. I did them for my daughter, Samantha, to take to school on her birthday. I found the stand at Meijer and added scrapbook letter stickers to spell out her name and age.
The hat was a warmed and formed Starburst triangle and the eyes and mouth were just mini chocolate chips attached with candy coating.
For Samantha's party at home, I did pink coated ones, dipped the top in white candy coating and sprinkled on pink edible glitter. I reused the stand and it worked perfectly.
These ones were for my daughter, Jaime, on her birthday. I did the same thing with the cake pop stand as I did with my other daughters'. I coated them in purple, dipped them in white and sprinkled on purple edible glitter. She loved them.
These were the first ones that I made and sold. I made 50 pumpkins using orange candy coating and I added a gummy spearmint leaf for the stem. This is when I learned that Tic-tacs would work much better for the stem.
These were for Thanksgiving. They are meant to be Cornucopias. I coated them in chocolate, attached a Hershey Kiss to the back, cut a candy pumpkin in half and attached it, along with some Runts candy, to the front, then topped them with some chocolate sprinkles. They turned out very cute.
These are little snowmen. I coated them in white candy coating and added an orange Tic-Tac for the nose. The eyes and mouth were done with melted chocolate. For his hat, I took a mini Oreo and attached it to half of a regular size Oreo then, attached it with candy coating. I loved doing these ones. :)
These two different ones were done for a baby shower that my friend, Michelle, was throwing for her sister. The theme was Pink RealTree. So, the white ones were coated in white and swirled with pink. The brown ones were coated with brown and swirled with pink. The holders belonged to Michelle but they looked very good sitting among all of the treats that Michelle did. If you would like to see her creations, I will post a link to hers at the bottom of this post.
These were done for another school birthday. Very simple! Coated in chocolate and topped with a flower I made from candy coating. On wax paper, I piped a flower shape with candy coating and sprinkled it with purple edible glitter. Once dry, I attached them to the top of each cake pop. Simple but cute.
These were done for another baby shower that Michelle was throwing. This one was for her daughter. She was having a baseball theme so, I made little baseballs. I coated them in white and piped on red lines. If I do them again, I will try to pipe lines that are less thick. They turned out cute though.
The most recent cake pops that I have done were the pumpkins. I've already posted about these so I won't go into detail.
Since I am posting about my creations, I thought I would add this one. This was not made of Cake Pops but rather cupcakes. This was a lot of work but so very cute once done. I had a lot of fun making him.
So, these are my works of art. I have found several more on Pinterest.com that I really want to make and will be making in the future. Once done, I will blog about them for all of you to see. :)
