It’s National Cake Pops Day!

Happy February and Happy National Cake Pops Day, too! Whoohoo!

Or is it Cake Pop Day? It is in the photo above anyway. You know, so I could have POP centered in the card above … The S would have totally thrown off my graphic. : ) And I added International, too. Cake Pops bring smiles everywhere, right.

Can you believe it’s been five years today … five! … since I first posted these cupcake pops. Reading that post now makes me smile. I had no idea then of how incredibly popular they would become or that people all over the world would be making them. And if someone had told me then that I’d have books based on that little cupcake on a stick … or even better … a toy. Ha! I would have told them they were from crazy town. So I’m glad no one told me that because I might of sabotaged myself if I knew what was coming. But just letting things unfold and having fun making cake pops and sharing them with all of you has brought so much joy and amazingness in many more ways than I could have ever imagined. Plus, I love living in crazy town.

Anyway, last year I thought that February 1st as the anniversary, would be a sweet day to celebrate a treat that takes part in the celebrations of so many. So this year, I’m excited it’s also on Foodimentary’s calendar of national food holidays for February 1st. Yay!

Love Cake Pops?

  • Raise your hand if you’ve seen them at a party, or made them, or just eaten them.
  • Give yourself a shout out if you sell them or share them with others.
  • Say hi if you have. I love hearing how they’ve impacted lives in so many unexpected ways.

Below are a few of my pops from the last five years. I was trying to pick a favorite, but I don’t think I can anymore. The cupcake pops will always be nearest and dearest to my heart, but man those Garfield pops are too much. I didn’t even remember making them until I started looking back at some of my photos.

Anyway, I hope these brighten your day … and maybe give you a little smile, too.

  • And please, link up some of your own cake pops below. Who’s making Valentine Pops?
  • I’d love to see what you’ve been dipping and decorating and especially all of the countries you’ve been doing it from.

Hi… Hugs… and Happy Cake Popping!

  10. I made cake balls for my friend’s wedding last August. Her grandpa ran around the tables shoveling “lost” cake balls into his mouth, trying to be all sneaky so her aunt wouldn’t catch him.

    Here’s a picture from her photographer:

    More recently I made over 200 for Christmas gifts. :)

  11. It’s cake pops day EVERY day with me! I love making them and am working towards cake pops being my new career. Thanks so so much for the inspiration. Here are my Valentine’s cake pops. Hope you can see them.

  12. Hello from ChCh, NZ also. And congratulations on hitting the 5 year mark! I am yet to make or sample a cake pop – but I can’t wait till I do! I have been admiring your creations for about a year now… and have been trying to track down lollipop sticks in NZ. Once I do I will hands down be trying to make the lorax pops they are definitely my fav!!

    Thanks for being the best website to procrastinate at work with! Irresistible! :)

    Here is most of the cake pops I have made, because of you!!
    They are in order from when i started at top, to newest at bottom.

  14. I love cake pops and you are amazing, I love seeing the excitement from people when I make them:)

  15. I have been in love with your cake pops since I first started visiting your site over a year ago! You have also inspired many of the pops I have made. Here is a link to a recent blog post ( I just started it) about just a few of my cake pops I have made…

    http://courtneyscraftinandcookin.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/51/

  16. bakerella, could you please make things like the cupcake burger and sugar cookie fries that you made a while ago? I loved those!

  17. The owls and ghosts are my favorite. So so so so cute. :) I haven’t had the time/patience/creativity yet to make my own, but I definitely will when the right occasion arises.

  18. Happy cake pop anniversary!!! :) I’m in love with cake pops since I saw them in your blog for the first time. Thanks for sharing.
    I remember I bought your book and made my first cake pops two years ago. 2 -3 years ago it was difficult to find in Barcelona things like candy melts. I still remember how difficult to find Crisco was… and I thrilled when I can finally buy one ;)

    My first cake pops were pig pops. After those, I made frogs, Christmas tree, Easter pops, Sesame Street, Hello Kitty… You can see some of them if you want here http://ifeelcook.es/category/cake-pops/ and here http://www.flickr.com/photos/ifeelcook/sets/72157626680836477/with/5759667670/

    XOXO

  19. Wow, five years already? I don’t believe it, though I gess I should…..

  20. I have to say, the first cake pop I tried to make was just the step in the right direction I needed. I have had so much fun helping others create amazing memories. My favorite (of my own cake pop creations) is Mudgy & Millie. Thanks Bakerella!

  21. congratulations!! thank you for introducing the world to cake pops… they must be the happiest treat ever created! you continue to amaze me with your creativity and i cannot wait to see what you come up with next. you deserve all the success in the world :)

  22. Congratulations! Thank you for always being so inspiring in life and art!

  23. I have made cake pops, but I am terrible at them. I can’t even make them round, so I make slightly lopsided rectangular pops. Everyone keeps telling me it’s what’s on the inside that counts, but I hope to someday make cake pops that are beautiful like the ones featured here!

  24. I started one year ago making some cake pops for a family party, and nowaday I`ve made more than thousand for friens, friends of friends, friends of friends of friends…yhanks!!!

    You can see my cake pops here,…I love visits!!!

  26. Hello from Germany!

    I’ve never met a person who didn’t love the cakepops I made!
    I even showed how to make them on our local TV program last year and everyone loved them! Thanks for creating such an awesome recipe!

    here are some of the ones I did ..

  28. That’s so cool to know! I love making cake pops, and maybe eating a few too ;-) This past Summer, I was riding my bike in a 3 day charity ride that raised money for the pediatric hospital that I work at. To help raise the money I needed to ride, I created a “Cake Pop of the Month Club”. Every month for a year I make a batch of cake pops and divy them up between the people that “joined” and sponsored me. I also would make batches and bring them into work and put a collection jar out. I was able to meet my goal and beyond!

  29. Happy Cake Pop Day!

    I recently made cake pops for a baby shower: http://www.sarahberridge.com/2013/02/cake-pops.html

    I’ve also done various cake balls: http://www.sarahberridge.com/2011/03/cake-balls.html

    Thanks for the inspiration!

  30. Congratulations! You are a true original.

  31. Congrats on 5 years!

    My favorite cake pop is the kidney, because it has a special place in my heart! My dad has had two kidney transplants.

    We gave our only daughter a cake pop kit for Christmas and we have really enjoyed creating together. Thankfully they are looking better each time we make them. I would like to attempt the kidney for my dad’s birthday.

    Thanks Bakerella!

  32. OMG so many cute pops :D love the ghost, kidney and Jason cake pops XD but they are all so great I wish you health and success :)

  33. I think it should definitely be cake pops day, with the S. Cake pops are small enough that you can always have more than one, so they should always be pluralized :)

    I’ve been following your blog for years now. Not since the very beginning, but you hadn’t been around long when I stumbled upon you. In a way, following a blog is similar to reading a really good book. You are given a window into another person’s life, and even though you’ve never met them you become emotionally tied in with their ups and downs. Aside from the obvious deliciousness and beauty of each creation, I love following your blog because you tell such a wonderful story with every post. You find the positive in everything, and have a knack for being able to spread joy with your words and photos. Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with all of us for all these years.

  34. Because for some, every day is Groundhog Day (Feb 2)!! Happy Cake Pops Day! Thanks for all the inspiration <3

  35. It is truly amazing how a little bit of creativity can turn into such a blessing! I’ve been making these for just over a year now and I have really enjoyed the journey. Thank you for all the inspiration and fun times your projects have given us!!

  36. bakerella could you make more things like the cupcake burger? That would be so cool!

  37. Happy Anniversary and Congratulations to Bakerella. Let’s keep the great ideas coming for many years to come.

  38. Happy Anniversary! 5 years! Wow. You always brighten my day when I see your new cake pop ideas! So talented you are. :o)
    I love making cake pops as they are always a big hit with family and friends. Thanks for always inspiring us!

  39. Yay! A national holiday named after your cute creations – love it! Congrats and I can’t wait to see more of your pops. :)

  40. Thank you creating cake pops! Although my cake pops will never be as creative as yours, I love making them! And my friends love eating them! :) Thank you for posting new ideas and recipes for cake pops – it strengthens my love for cake pops! Lol. Thanks again! :D

  41. Happy 5 year Bakerella!! You truly are a star!!! In Australia your cake pops are an absolute craze!!!!! I first discovered your website about 3 or 4 christmas’ ago. First attempt at cake pops failed, but following that I have had many cake pops for special events – 30th bdays, 1yr old bdays, baby showers, and even hosted my own cake pop party!!! As all my friends wanted to know how to make these AMAZING tasting little cake pops!!!! They had tasted and heard me raving about Bakerella and how clever the cake pops were!!!! Had many late nights with good girlfriends with a glass of wine, making cake pops for someone they love!! I have to say my favourite is the icecream cake pops!!!
    Thank you for your fantabulous creations!!! and your inspiration!!! I was very excited to receive your kids cake pop kit for christmas!!! and i am 31!!! Thanks again. Biggest cake pop fan, Melissa x

  42. So much cuteness, I want to try making them all! I work for a cupcake bakery and until recently about 1/3 of my entire job was making cake pops for us to sell in our stores. I’ve seen many a face light up at the sight of them so it was very rewarding, thank you for being an inspiration!

  43. Bakerella- you are such an inspiration. This is such an exciting day for you. You have such a sweet and generous heart. It is so amazing that you freely do tutorials on your websites to walk anyone through how to do what you do. Your cake pops have been such a relaxing thing for me. After my grandma passed away, I felt such a void in my life. My husband works night shifts so most nights I am at home alone. Baking was something that my grandmother loved to do and now that I have stretched myself in this exciting baking world, baking has really been a great outlet for me to still feel connected to my grandma. I remember growing up baking with her in the kitchen. It brings back such wonderful memories. I can’t wait for the day that I can be in the kitchen baking with my own children one day and then my own grandchildren! My mom is always helping me mold and dip new fun cake pop creations and we recently started taking a Wilton decorating class together. Truly such a fun time together. Thank you for all that you do. I think that you truly bless people’s lives more than you will ever know. Just reading through some of these comments on here has filled my heart with such joy. I hope that you have a wonderful cake pop anniversary! :D

  44. Happy blogiversary! Here is a link to the cupcake pops I’ve made: http://evabakes.blogspot.com/2011/11/cupcake-cake-pops.html

  45. Congratulations on 5 years! That’s AWESOME!!! I’ve been following for some time now and love absolutely EVERYTHING you have made! You are one of if not the most creative person I’ve ever seen! I wish I had just one tenth of the skill you have!

  46. Happy Anniversary! I’m a huge fan of your site. I check it daily to see what new and exciting recipe you have out there. I even have recreated some. I always get rave reviews from the recipes I use from here. I always say, they are curtesy of Bakerella! Your awsome, keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing with us.

  47. I made cake pops for the first time one Christmas, and after that my mom thought we should make them for my niece… that is, when she was born, we would have little pink cake pops with a girly J initial on them to give to people who came up to visit her in the hospital. Instead of bubble gum cigars. They were vanilla cake with some orange cream cheese frosting I had already made up for another goodie. I’ve made a few more, but I believe that combo is still my favorite today! Thanks for helping us with the sweet memory! :)

  48. Congratulations…..
    Love them.

  49. Congratulations! That is so amazing to have a Cake Pops day!! Well done and keep up the great work =).

  50. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Who could have imagined cake pops would be so big in just 5 short years! Thank you for your inspiration! I hope you’ll get a chance to check out my page.

  51. Congratulations and Happy Anniversary. Would like start with….yuuuummi and Delicious Cake pops. I failed my first cake pop attempt. But practice makes perfect, right? Well I am not a professional but I made some good and I even amazed myself I could make them good looking pops as first time tries. Well I make them for Family event’s or make them just for the fun of it. Thank you ?

  52. Yummy! Where you got that cutesy pictures from?

  53. Congrats, I think you deserve everything you have and even more! Every time I read your posts it brightens up my day. :)

  54. You guys are so sweet! I can’t wait to be able to go through and look at all of your pops. Thanks for linking and sharing with everyone.

  55. Congrats! I’m a BIG fan of your site and your work. You are very good at what you do. You are SO creative and I just love looking through the photos and wishing I had time to try them all! I’ve made quite a few but the Hello Kitty ones were my favorite and went over well with my niece for her birthday! Thanks for the inspiration!

  56. Happy Cake Pop Day. And thank you Bakerella!

  57. I have tried to make some of your adorable creation and found I just don’t have the patience or the technique for it but I am awe of your
    creativity and am so happy for all your success.

  58. Happy Anniversary! I love looking at all your goodies and wishing I had HALF your talent. I’ve made cake pops but all I have been successful at is putting the sugar sprinkles on them. :( Don’t know why I’m having such a problem.

  59. Happy Cake Pops Day! I love your website and I love making Cake Pops! My friends and family love them as well and I’m glad that I somehow stumpled upon your website I-don’t-know-how-many-years-ago! :-)
    And I enjoy many of your other recipes as well!
    Much love from Germany!
    Melanie

  60. My new favorite holiday! Bakerella, you are such an ispiration!

  61. Happy Cake Pops Anniversary to my very deserving daughter who has unselfishly shared so much. I have enjoyed every step of the way and have sincerely enjoyed meeting such great people at your book signings. I love reading the comments on your blog and love to see what others have made on your Facebook page. I am thankful that you are healthy and happy and I’m looking forward to your next great creation or adventure.
    Love, Mom

  62. Happy Birthday! I’ve loved you from DAY 1! Your book inspired me to start my own little Cakepop business. Small as it may be I’m sure many could tell this same story. The photo you posted would make an awesome poster to sell?? I know many would purchase it, me included! Hope you’ll stop by and say hello on my public FB @cakepops101

  68. Hello, Cake Pop Goddess (which is what I call you in the pretend world where we’re friends in real life–grin!)

    I started making cake pops for fun more than two years ago and then discovered your first book. I got to meet you on your signing tour and brought you some cute turtle pops. Since then, cake pops have become my sanity and my craziness. I sell the little darlings at a local coffeehouse in my town and do private orders for some of the craziest requests.

    Pops have become both a little bit of (much needed) side income for me and a fun way to enjoy baking and creating. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas you share and products you are creating/inspiring. They make my kitchen life a little brighter.

    I’ve totally started using the molds from the Bakerella toy set to speed things up. So much fun!

    Much love from Dana’s Kitchen to yours!

  69. Happy anniversary/birthday/whateveryouwannacallit day! Thank you for all your inspiration, tips, and tricks. Because of you, I have been able to let loose my creativity with cake-pop-making. Congratulations on your success and good luck with all your future adventures!!!

    https://www.facebook.com/cakesonsticksaz

  70. I’ve made them before…I got to tell ya they weren’t that easy! They ended up being cake balls instead of cake pops. They were very very tasty though! I guess I’ll just have to live vicariously through you! lol. Thanks for sharing! :)

  71. OMGoodness, I can’t believe it’s been that long ago. I was already following your blog when you first posted these and i immediately had to try them out. Wow! they tasted great but mine looked nothing like yours. My daughter-in-law was actually at Ree Drummonds when you did your cake pop lessons. (I was supposed to be with her but couldn’t get off work). I have made these lots of times and always get lots of great comments. Have your books too. Keep up the great creative work you do and God bless you.

  72. Congrats! Keep on going for many years to come, I love seeing the designs and thinking about creating them :D

  73. Cake Pops go with everything! So happy there is a special day. Thanks for sharing with us all your wonderful creations. Here’s my contribution to perfection.

  74. Today is my daughter Chloe’s 6th birthday. She’ll love to know she has the same birthday as your creation on a stick. And yes, Cake Pops for the whole class!

  75. Congrats on the anniversary! 5 years since the first cake pop?! Wowwie, now they’re everywhere!

  76. Congrats to you! As the creator of cake pops today is really your day!

  77. Happy Cake Pop to you to!
    i live in switzerland, and i really like your blog!!!
    thanks for all the creative ideas!!!
    bye from swizterland!!! :)

    P.S. im 11

  78. Love it! Wow, congratulations on your anniversary! The world is a better place with all the cake pop love being shared (thanks to you!)! Love ’em and I love to share them!

  79. Happy Anniversary. I’ve only made cake pops a couple of times. As fun as they are to make, they are even more fun to eat!

  80. I LOVE making them! Been making pops for about two years. Love the challenge of more detailed pops. Love the feeling of handing over a box of beautifully wrapped pops and the happiness and excitement they seem to cause. Happy Cake Pop day! Xxx. Please come by and visit me on Facebook too, Just Cake Pops x

  81. I cannot tell you how much I love cake pops and how much joy they have brought to my life! They have given me a way to channel my creativity and I am constantly striving to create new, inventive creations! Thank you, Angie:)

  82. Woo-hoo! Can’t believe how much life has changed since! Lots of imitators…hope you are getting lots of royalty checks ;) Thank you so much for all of your inspiration and amazing books! I just made Kermit cake pops for a Kiss Me, I’m Green! Valentine’s Day party! http://dawnypoo.blogspot.com/2013/01/wont-you-be-my-valentine-week-fiesta.html

  83. Oh, happy anniversary! I love cake pops so much, even though I have only tried to make them a couple times. The Muppets pops are my favorite, as are the Sesame Street pops, especially Fozzie, Rowlf and Cookie monster. Keep on baking!

  84. I have a little home business and your book changed my life! I was going through a painful divorce and learning to make cake pops gave me something to live for. It made me happy and I soon discovered it made other people happy too. Now, two years later, I am still enjoying making them for special occasions and just for the fun of it. So many endless possibilities! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  85. I am so thankful for cake pops. I saw them on Ellen 2 years ago and my mom ran right out and bought me your book. They have allowed me to use my creative side in a whole new way. I started selling them to friends at work and this last December needed to move back home to St. Louis from California to take care of my mom but money was tight and I didn’t know how i was going to do it. I was able to sell enough turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas cake pops to have enough to make the move home. Now I am taking care of my mom full time and trying to start my little business here. Today I am taking 8 dozen cake pops to a resale shop that benefits an non profit group called Youth in Need. I will be taking donations for them and giving the funds raised to Youth in need. Everyone will get a business card that lets them know I am also donating 20% of all profits made in February to Youth in Need as well. So as you can see cake pops have benefited me in many ways so now I want them to benefit others as well.
    Thank you for your inspiration and wonderful creative ideas.
    Congrats on 5 great years and hoping for many more.

  86. Congratulations! I gave my granddaughter your cake pops set for Christmas, and we had a grand time making the first batch on the 26th! Here’s a link to the blogpost I wrote about it: http://thtolbert.blogspot.com/2012/12/post-christmas-fun.html Since then, she has used it to make baseball pops for her brother’s birthday party.

  87. Congratulations Angie! You have been a huge inspiration. It was so nice to meet you at Books and Books when you came to Miami. And your mom was such a sweetheart. Continue with your all you do and thank you for sharing your creations with us.

  88. Don’t you know…Cake Pops are ageless!!! I don’t have small kids at home anymore – but I make them for everybody! And just you wait – when the grandkids start arriving – I am going to be the Cake Pop Making Grandma!!!

  89. Congrats to you – and Happy Cake Pop Day! :) I have made them a few times… although they were VERY plain. I have zero artistic talent, so I just dip them and eat them. No decorating. I have your books though, so maybe one day I’ll get brave and try to actually decorate some!

    Have a great day!

  90. Happy National Cake Pop Day!
    We are making some for the Superbowl and Valentine’s day.
    Here are a few we made.

  91. Congrats!! I am so impressed with all you have done. Cant wait to see what the next five years bring…!!! :)

  92. I saw a fundraiser for Multiple Sclerosis in Sam’s Club last week with a table full of Cake Pops for sale. Your little novelty morsel was selling like hotcakes. Just another blessing from your creation!

  93. Thank you for bringing cake pops into our lives! My son is graduating from high school in May and he has requested cake pops instead of a regular cake! So I will be making cake pops for 50 people! Son thinks 3 or 4 per person should do the trick! Let the fun bein!

  94. It’s also Harry Styles’ birthday today! Sorry, blame my 13 y/o daughter for being a Directioner… I think I’ll make some Cake Pops today! :D

  95. You are a true inspiration for me. I love your designs!!

  96. Angie, I actually remember watching you on Martha and thinking how adorable cake pops were, as were you! Congrats on all your well-deserved success! Can’t wait to see what the future has in store! xoxo

  97. This is so cool! I had no idea it was national Cake Pop Day – it just so happens to be my 30th birthday today and I just started my own cake pop business on Jan 1st of this year!!!! In fact I just changed my name from “Cake Pops by Steph” to “Let Them Eat Cake Pops” and got my website last night http://www.LetsEatCakePops.com :) You have been such an inspiration and so kind to share so many of your secrets and tutorials on your blog!! I recently sent you pics of my Sesame Street pops and you said you would feature them on your next pop stars post. When I got your email I started jumping up and down and telling everyone, I was so excited- and felt validated in my new venture. From the bottom of my heart – Thank You So Much, Bakerella!!!

  98. Hi Bakerella,
    Happy Cake Pop Day, 5 years, wow!!! :-) Thank you for your eternal inspiration, and just being so kind, warm and personable <3.

    I'll be forever grateful for you bringing cake pops into the world, b/c it led us to create our cake pop business, KC Bakes! Through KC Bakes, I have made some life-long friendships with people I may never have met otherwise if it hadn't been for cake pops.

    Here are some of my personal cake pops that I've made: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kims_cakes

  99. Thanks for always being innovative and coming out with amazing, new ideas! Thanks to you, I started my own business. http://yumtastics.com/

  100. These things aren’t just a piece of rolled up cake and frosting dipped on a stick…to ME…they’re the sweetness that allows me to be home with my kiddos…every…day :) For that…I couldn’t be more grateful…even on the “tough” days!

    That is the gift YOU’VE given me :) Thank you SO much! I really can’t say it enough. You deserve ALL the success, HEALTH and happiness that comes your way Ma’am!

    Here’s a link to my Cake Pop album on fb (I also post on my website, but less frequently):

  101. Happy Cake Pop Day! I love it. I was introduced to cake pops at my stitch group. The hostess made stickless pops for our dessert., and gave out your website address. I’ve been a fan ever since. And you can count my granddaughter among the fans. One of the big things she wanted for Christmas was one of your books.

  102. Wow, so cool and so many beautiful Cakepops!!!

  103. Happy Cake-Pop-Aversary!! Those adorable chick pops were the first view of Bakerella I had. I’ve enjoyed every post since then. Thank you for inspiring me to be more creative in the kitchen, and for making me look at ALL candies and decorations in a different light.

  104. What a great day it is! Thank you for all of your inspiration!

  105. Happy Cake Pop Day! My grandkids & their friends love them. I enjoy making them for party’s. A cello bag tied with a bow..too cute! Would be fun to see how everyone displays them. There is a cake pop carrier with a cover out there..Has anyone tried that? Should have a Bakerella Tee shirt to wear today! Your ideas are so fun.Wishing you a Happy Day!

  106. Congratulations Angie! You have been a huge inspiration. Loved meeting you when you came to Miami. I made great friendships with fellow “cake poppers” that night – you’ve touched so many of our lives! Thank you :)
    What am I working on today? Valentine’s cake pops – yay! … Oh and tons of Spongebob cake pops!

  112. You must be SOOO proud of everything you have created…. which has taken you beyond anything you could ever have imagined……. and inspired millions!!!! We have a real Queen, but you are truly the CAKE POP QUEEN. Special wishes from Brighton, England. xx
    I’d be “chuffed to bits” as we say here in the UK, if you ever manage to look at my pops!!

  113. Angie,
    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, and HAPPY NATIONAL CAKE POP DAY – awesome idea, let’s celebrate it!

    I have wrote it before and will write it again, you are the reason why soo many things changed in my life.

    I am still a graphic designer but I do my cake pop business on the side which basically leads to a fulltime job, for real – it is breath-taking what you’ve done without a clue what’s going to happen – isn’t that the best part of it all?!

    You are the reason why people experience a whole new passion for baking and decorating sweet treats.
    It is probably all beyond your grasp what has happened the past years and it must seem surreal – but hey, take a second and just be proud of yourself :-)

    Because of you, there are people who get paid for making cake pops but the most important thing that makes ME happy and keeps me going: PEOPLE LOVE THEM, their smile on their faces, the joy you can literally feel; it’s priceless.

    Thanks for everything, keep it going!!!

    xoxo,
    niner <3

  115. Happy 5th anniversary! I recently discovered the cake pops, they are wonderful!

  116. Happy Anniversary! I love cake pops! I had been looking at your website years ago and fell in love with the cow cake pops, thinking I could make them for my niece’s graduation party. Hundreds of cake pops later, they made great centerpieces and favors that everyone loved! At the time, cake pops were a new thing and I could not stop telling everyone how amazing your website was! I’ve since made hundreds more cake pops and look forward to making many more!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and creativity with the world… I am always amazed of how your blog started it all!

  117. Wow…five years! Congratulations! It must be so exciting to have something that you made take over the cake world. I am from Australia, and I first saw your book while in Honolulu, and I LOVE here. Here are your Christmas Tree Cake Pops that I made last year. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations!
