One Monday Morning many months ago, I had 3 cake/cake pop orders. Â Three. Â On a Monday morning.
That is not how I usually spend my Monday mornings.  Sunday through Tuesday are usually my days "off".  I rarely do any baking or cake decorating on those days because Thursday - Saturday is usually crammed pack with cakes stuff.
Did you notice that I missed Wednesday. Â Wednesday is sort of a gray area. Â If my week is really busy - I work that day. Â If it's an easy week - I take another day off.
Now, don't get any images floating in your head of me lazing around, drinking sweet tea and watching soap operas for 3-4 days a week. Â No.
On my "off" days from cake, Â I still homeschool the six kids, tackle housework and laundry, I manage my blogs (this one and RoseAtwater.com) and social media and cook for my family ... Â and all of the other things that come with being a work-from-home, homeschooling Mommy and wife. Â It's no vacation - I promise!
Anywho - on this particular Monday morning, I had two cakes and an order of these pretty Pink and Silver Cake pops for a wedding. Â Â The couple was driving out of state with only a handful of family and friends to get married and the bride wanted to take something with them to have as a 'wedding cake'. Â They decided on pretty pink cake pops!
I'm going to give you a quick run-down on the cake pops, okay?
Here's what you need to know.
- I baked a red velvet cake and made a small batch of vanilla buttercream.
- This post shows how I make cake pops.
- I used pink candy coloring for to color the almond bark very pale pink. Â Please note, if the bold text is not linked, click over to the post to find the product links. Â Also, if you didn't know... you cannot use regular gel coloring in almond bark or melted white chocolate. Â It will cause it to seize. Â Get oil-based candy coloring!!
- I sprinkled them with silver sparkling sugar before they completely dried.
And they were done! Â Do you have any questions? Â

What do you recommend to wrap each cake pop?

I like to use treat bags, around 3"x4". You can find them here on Amazon or also at Walmart or a hobby store.

The cake pops are so pretty! The cakes are beautiful too! What kind of cakes are they? Too bad I can't reach through the screen and try them all!

They were red velvet cake!

I give you credit for making cake pops...period. Even my instructor when I took my Wilton classes would not make them (she said for every dozen she made, about 8 stayed on the stick)...you must be the most patient woman on Earth, I do believe. Well, with 6 kids, I guess you already are!!! 🙂 Love your blogs, as always!
