Sesame Street. Pop Party. This Tuesday, November 10th is the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street. Can you believe it. 40 years and the muppet mania continues. I’ve received no less than 1,299,347 requests for Elmo Cake Pops since I started turning my pops into characters more than a year ago. Okay, I’m exaggerating a little on the number. But seriously … Elmo has been one of the most requested pops. So I decided to finally put what’s been in my head on a lollipop stick.
And it didn’t hurt that just last week I found the perfect candy for Elmo’s ping-pong-like-eyes. Actually … all of their eyes.
Solid white. Perfectly round. Perfect size. And perfect. I found them at Wal-Mart. They were in the card and party supply aisle – not in the candy aisle. I stumbled on them and grabbed a bunch of bags and in different colors, too. It never fails.… As soon as I find something I like, it will be discontinued the next time I look for it.
But don’t worry. You can also use white m&m’s, white chocolate coated espresso beans or any other similar white candy you might be lucky enough to stumble on.
To make your own Sesame Street Cake pops, follow the basic cake pop instructions and use the following tips to decorate.
Elmo’s noses are simply orange jelly beans. Elmo’s mouth is made of candy melts cut in half, and his eyes are drawn on with an edible ink pen.
To decorate all of these characters, dip them in colored candy coating first.
While the coating is wet, attach the mouth and eyes and let dry. When the attachments are dry, you can use a toothpick to drizzle on more coating.
Let me stop here and tell you. This is time consuming. I wanted them all to have the effect of a furry coat, but you can certainly try another method to speed things up. For instance, they can just be smooth and you can pipe the mouths on with black candy writers or draw them on with an edible ink pen.
But I took the long way, since this was a special occasion. You’ll need to drizzle, dab, and dot all over the cake pop. Or at least all over the front of the pop. I won’t tell. Make sure to layer the coating around the mouth. You’ll need to build up a base around the edges to make it look more realistic and less stuck on.
Use the same technique for Cookie Monster. His mouth is bigger than Elmo’s so I tried to shape a lip this time with the candy melts.
Oscar. Let’s talk about Oscar. After I made the first two characters, I wasn’t completely happy with the mouths, so I tried a different technique with the Grouch and I think he liked it. Instead of one candy melt attached to the front, cut the candy melt in half and use both pieces to form an open mouth. This is a little harder because you have to re-shape the cake balls to somewhat in a C-shape (if you were to look at it from the side). This is so the mouth has somewhere to sit. If you try to make the mouth on the outside of the round ball, it won’t look right. Hope that makes sense. Don’t forget to build up the green around the mouth so it looks seamless. Again… these were some work.
Also, Oscar’s eyes are different than the others. His are inset instead of sitting on top of the pop. To achieve the look, cut the candy pieces in half and attach them. When dry, use a brown candy writer or chocolate candy coating and pipe on eyebrows. His tongue is a red jumbo heart sprinkle with the point cut and rounded off.
Here are the candy melts and how you can cut them for each character.
If you can’t find dark chocolate melts, then chocolate coins might work. You’ll have to experiment with the sizes though.
I almost used these, but I stuck with the candy melts because I didn’t have enough coins.
Now for Big Bird. I love Big Bird.
I gotta tell you, when I started making these, I had no idea how I would pull this big guy off. First, I thought yellow sugar pearls or mini yellow m&ms, but none of those looked right for his feathers. So I used sanding sugar sprinkled on top after drizzling to make him look fluffier. His eyelids are decorated with a pink and a blue edible ink pen. His beak is candy corn with the end cut off to make it easier to attach.
Dip the candy corn in yellow candy melts. But only if the candy coating is thin and fluid like this. By the way, this coating is Merckens and has nothing added to make it this thin. It was heated in the microwave on med-low in 30 second intervals and stirred in between. But if your coating is too thick, you can add some paramount crystals, shortening or vegetable oil to help thin it out. And if it’s not thin, then don’t try to dip the candy corn because it will just be a big glob and not pretty on Big Bird.
Here are a few beaks. Let them dry on wax paper. Or just skip all that and give Big Bird an uncoated orange candy corn beak.
(Anybody tired yet? It’s almost too much to even read about doing. I think I need a nap.)
Below, you can see what I mean with the different mouth variations.
Aren’t they just the cutest. But something is missing. Cookie Monster is smiling, but he’s not happy. He needs cookies.
Yes. Cookies. Coooooookies!
Tiny… little … itty-bitty chocolate chip…
There… much better!
Stop it. I can’t stand it. Head exploding. Cute overload.
Here’s some of the supplies you’ll need:
Colored candy melts
Red Candy Melts
Green candy melts
Yellow candy melts
Dark Chocolate candy melts
Dark brown candy writerParamount Crystals
Edible Ink Pens
Jumbo red heart sprinkles
Yellow sanding sugar
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gripz by Keebler)
White round candies for eyes
Orange jelly beans
Candy Corn
Toothpicks
Basic Cake Pop Instructions
Here you go. This is for everyone that likes it when I bite into one of these. Poor little Cookie Monster.
Now, a lot of you have sent in photos of your own Elmo Pops. I just haven’t done a great job of keeping track of them all. If you’d like to re-send, maybe I can do a little slideshow or something to show them off. Or any other Sesame Street ones you may have done.
November 10th, 2009.
40 Years of Sesame Street and one happy day.
Kisses to you, Jim Henson.
Wish you were still with us.
SO CUTE! Total overload of adorabllity! :)
Absolutely adorable! I wish I could be that creative.
Oscar the Grouch is my favorite.:-)
Hi, this page has robbed your photo without mentioning the source, and is a company
http://www.helartedulces.es/galeria.html
Hello my name is mindy and Im Interested in your Elmo cake pops for my sons 2nd birthday party and was wondering if you make them and ship them out to NM. Could you please e-mail me back at mndy_lyb@yahoo.com
Here are some photos of the Cookie Monster Cake Pops I made: bit.ly/QZTWEy! If Romney is elected, Cookie Monster says he’ll work for cookies.
I am determined to make these for my daughter’s second birthday! Hopefully they won’t end up being red, green, blue and yellow blobs!
I love the cookie monster! I made him today for my friend’s 16th birthday and everybody laughed and loved them! We did make them exactly like you said and it was too late to get the cookies. I love them all because they re precious and cute! We are going to make more the way you said it because it looks better. I am under eighteen, and sixteen and fourteen, thirteen but above eleven anyways we made them because older kids love to get stuff that are way too young it makes them feel cool!:)
so how do you get the cookie to stick to his mouth?
I´m from Argentina, i bought your book, and i love your job !!!
Hi Bakerella,
this one is so cute, i would love to make them.
What colour is for candy melt for cookie monster?
i only see blu sky in wilton..do u mix the colour? can you give me the name of the colour if u sell it?
thanks
Please I am desperate.. I cant find the blue candy melt any where .. the one you display is a very dark blue and I have only been able to find the light blue one.. where did you find it..
My neice’s birthday is coming up and I definately am going to do the elmmo cake pops.i have one more question are the candies you found at wall-mart edible.thnx youre a good teacher.<3<3
Im making these for a birthday party right now, did you use the edible marker before or after you placed them on?.
Thanks so much!
Made them from a baked cake pop and they turned out perfect. Followed your instructions even bought the food color markers but had a tough time making the eye round. I ended up melting a few of the dark chocolate candy melts and used the end of one of the sucker sticks to place the black dot in the center of the eye!! Thought this might be a helpful idea for those without a real steady hand or if they didn’t have the markers!! Thank you for you wonderful ideas!!
o my gosh that was weird.emmy emmy elmo. who says that? like no one at all
i love little emmy emmy el,o
Wow! Just saw the graduation cakepops in a magazine! We’re having a graduation at the daycare center where I work. These are so adorable & so simple! Thanks for all your great ideas! You are an inspiration to all of us bakers out there!
I have a question about the color candies for Cookie Monster, did you have to add blue coloring to them to achieve the bright blue?
Hi,
someone at my job wants me to make these for his son’s 1st bday
i can’t seem to find Americolor markers anywhere do I get them online?
I ATTACHED THE CANDY CORN TO THE POP, THEN DIPPED THE WHOLE THING IN THE YELLOW FOR BIG BIRD. BEFORE IT DRIED I ATTACHED THE EYES THEN SPRINKLED SOME YELLOW TINTED COCONUT OVER THE WHOLE POP, LOOKED JUST LIKE FEATHERS
I ATTACHED THE CANDY CORN TO THE POP, THEN DIPPED IT IN THE YELLOE, AND THE ADED THE EYES, WHILE STILL WET, I USED FOOD COLORING ( YELLOW ) TO TINT COCONUT, TURNED OUT JUST GREAT. LOOKS LIKE FEATHERS ON BIG BIRD
I Love the elmo candy cake lolipops
I have to try these
so cute i love them can ou make more
I made these and they turned out awesome! Thank you so much, you are SO talented!! http://wineandglue.blogspot.com/2011/11/birthday-retrospective-part-2-elmo.html
BRILLIANT idea! You are awesome! These are going to be a hit!
I just love your cake pops! You are amazing! I was wondering if you have made a Mr. Snuffleupagus pop?
omg they are sooooooo cute i love them sooooooooo much there is a bake sale comin up an i think i might just bake these cuties thanks sooooooo much sesame street u rock
How do you get the candy melts so smooth?
you’re so talented when it comes to baking and decorating! i love seeing pictures of all your innovative designs!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! How far in advance can you make these?
I mean… seriously!?!?!?! You are just amazing…. I love your work I love your art!
My teacher was always oscar the grouch when she was a little girl.
how can i order cake pop for a party
thank you so much for sharing!! i hope i can make these half as awesome as you do for my little guy’s birthday!
thanks again!
A.MAZ.ING! You are so talented!! Glad I am stumbling across these now that my daughter’s 2nd “street” themed birthday party is over… This would have been too challenging given the limited time I had! But, wow! Great job!!
I love this! It’s wonderful to see!
A client send me this pictures for her Sesame Street party, I’ll do the same decoration but on cupcakes. Here, in Brazil, this theme is old-fashion, so the parties decoration must be done one-by-one…
Perfect job, congratulations!
Walmart doesn’t have the sixlets anymore :-( BIG bummer. I think I found them at Sweet Factory (they said over the phone). For anyone who can’t find them the bulk candy stores seem to have them stocked as wedding candy. Thank you Bakerella. You are so gracious to share your creativity with all of us. Hope your recovery goes well.
Sooo Awsm my mum’s friend is going to make the elmo ones for her daugther shes loves elmo
It is so amazing of you to share exactly how to make these. I am going to make the Elmo pops for my son’s 4th birthday Elmo party this weekend. I am so excited that you give step by step instructions! I don’t know how you photograph your process, but the pictures are amazing. Can’t wait to make these! Thanks again for sharing your talent!
I’m going to be attempting Grover cake balls over the next two days ;-) I just hope they turn out as wonderfull as yours!
(my test run included trying to put the oreo balls on a stick, and well… it’s just too darn hot down here in texas for that!)
Oh my goodness, you are so brilliant.
Have you done Abby Cadabby Cake Pops? I am really impressed. I haven’t seen your whole site yet…can I order from you?
So happy to see posts from you! I hope you are felling healthy. These look so YUMMY!
Those cakepops are awesome! Incase you can’t find the white Sixlets, you can use Wilton Candy Eyeballs. I Found these at craft stores like JoAnn’s and Michaels.
amazing !
OMG is all I can say and Thank you Thank you for sharing this wonderful Idea. I only just discovered these existed on a recent visit to California where I was ‘cake popped’ by my Sister. Just gorgeous and I am totally going to try these out for myself. Super effort and congratulations on your super book!
OMG these are great .. today was the first time i tried to do a basic cake pop and needless to say mine need a ton of work .. i can only hope that one day mine will be even close to as great as these area!
Their so cute I don’t think i could eat one!
SOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, i made the elmo ones, and used yogurt covered raisins for the eyes. I had to buy quite a few to find the right sizes, but the leftovers were a great treat for my daughter! They worked well.
I just found these on line a couple days ago. They are so cute! My daughters 2nd birthday party is this weekend, and i just finished making these. They turned out pretty good, not as hard as i thought. Just patience is needed!! Thanks for the great idea!!!!! She will love them….
Wow! I think I may hate you for being so good at this. I don’t think I could ever have the patience…and yet I want these. Now my head is exploding. :)
I love these!!! I can’t wait until my daughter’s second birthday in October! She is going to flip out!
How far in advance can you make these? Do you keep them stored in the fridge?
Bakerella, you have such an imagination!!!! My daughter’s 2nd Birthday party is coming up and I’ll definitely be making Elmo pops favors!!! Adorable and delicious!!! I can’t wait to see the look on my daughters face once she has one of these in her hands, and better yet takes a bite, I’ve got to capture it all on camera!!!
OMG These r just to cute. U R amazing. It took me over a yr. to try the cake balls but one I did it, it wasn’t so bad. And when all my friend tasted them, they loved them. Truthfully they were time consumming.But when I did the cakepops that was so much faster & easier. So now my next step is Elmo My grandson loves elmo so for his Birthday I will make them for him after seeing how u done it. Thanks a million for taking the time to share your work it is truly amazing. Keep up the good work.
Ohhhh these are so stinkin cute!!! My little guy is going to love these for his 2nd birthday! As poster Monique said, you can get the Sixlets round white candies for the eyes on nutsinbulk.com, or if you’re really going crazy making these, you can get a 2.5 lb. bag for $10.99 at Blaircandy.com. Not sure how many little ‘eyeballs’ that is… but I’m guessing it’s going to keep you in Sesame Street cake pops for a loooooooong time!
So fuckin cute
so feakin cute!
Love these and want to make for my son’s birthday party. However I looked for the candies for the eyes and could not find them in any retail store. I did however found them on nutsinbulk.com. Hope this helps
This is absolutely adorable!! I’m going to make these for my son’s 3rd Bday in October.

Hello, I´m preparing a party for my boyfriends birthday, and I would like to make those incredible Elmo pops…
I live in Spain, so it´s difficult for me to find those eyes and I need to know what jelly bean flavour is that one, if you could help me…
Do you think that with M&Ms is going to be good too?
thank you so much, and congratullations for your blog.
Maria

My little boy will be 2 in March and he LOVES Elmo, I’m going to practice making these so I can make them for his birthday. So cute.
adjectives overloading my mind:
cute
adorable
omg (is that an adj?)
sweet
jealous
fantastical
dramatical
cow
wish i could
wish i might
SOOOOO AMAZING! HOW DO YOU DO IT!?
this is greatness!
Omgosh, Angie! I love these! Exactly what I’m looking for, for my niece’s first birthday in April!
I made these for my sons 3rd birthday party because he loves sesame street. I did all the characters here and added grover and zoe. He loved them, they turned out great. My guests actually thought I bought them from some fancy online store.
Awwwwwww! These are soooooooo cute! I really wish that I was really good at making cake pops. I haven’t been very adventurous with these because I’m selling them for my mission trip to Guatemala this summer. If I spend too much money on supplies then I lose profit :( does anyone in the Chicagoland area know of a place where I can get ingredients cheaper? I get the sticks at walmart…
I just loved the seame street gang and just wanted to share with you that I used a very small pastry brush to apply the furry coat as it goes on heavier and as it almost sets then pull up to help make it look like the fur it did a pretty good job I think thanks for the great ideas and keep them coming. Your the best!
Wow love it ! how I decorate them if I don’t have candy melts ? I don’t want to decorate them with chocolate thanks! x http://thesugar-corner.blogspot.com
hey where can we get the little cookies for cookie monster?

omg Qute overboard all right having a heart attack and i need to make these now so tempted probebly will be a huge hit at a school fate
They are adorable. I plan on making the Elmo for my grand daughters 2nd birthday party got anything Mickey mouse?
These are just perfect. Inspired from this, I made Elmo and Big Bird cake pops for my son’s birthday party. All the kids(and adults) at the party loved these.
Could not make all 4 as these were very time consuming. Oscar and Cookie MOnster for some other time.
Cake pops I made are on the link:
http://turtlecraftygirl.blogspot.com/2010/12/kabirs-2nd-birthday-party.html
I actually did my own rendition of cookie monster cake pops and they were absolutely adorable! I threw my best friend a surprise party and she loved them! I also made her a cookie monster red velvet cake :D Yum galore!
bakerella i bought your book finally! i love it! i have a question for you : I have to make some cake pops by nov 6 and i ran out of almond bark, can i use royal icing instead?
i love it,,how much can be for each pops?
These are the cutest little monsters i have ever seen!!!! You got all the detail perfect! This is an awesome idea, i have to try it!
sooo cute, these are really nice i think i might try my hand at these. thanks
I can’t wait till I can purchase your book at the bookstore. I should have pre-ordered it. I love the ideas on this site. I attempted to make the Sesame street charaters for my 3 year olds birthday, and I ended up making Cake Ball faces of Elmo and Oscar. I am not sure what went wrong, but they wouldn’t stay on the sticks and the chocolate didn’t melt right. I couldn’t get it to stay on the way you did in your video. I was a little discouraged, and then I decided that having them as Balls was just as good. I am going to finish the rest of the crew today. Can you tell me where I might find better chocolate to melt and how you do it?? I used Wiltons chocolate melts in red, green and Dark Chocolate. Thanks Jolynn From CT
Can anyone tell me what brand of candy melts are used for cookie monster? I can’t seem to find a dark blue in Merkens.
these are amazing – they do look incredibly time consuming but I will have to give it a try. these would be perfect for my son’s first bday party – sesame street is the theme! Now I just have to get practicing……thanks for sharing your technique!
I found those Sixlets at Michaels, in case anyone is looking for them!
ur amazing love to visit this page!!!! keep up the gud work!! thanks for the ideas…
oh my god, however do you have time for all this? i think i would stop after about three and just eat the rest of the cake balls plain! they are really cute though!
lady, you are a gd genius
I know this is an old blog post, but I’d love to know the size of the white candies if possible. I’m in the UK and trying to source similar ingredients, I’ve found some 4mm round sugar pearls but without seeing them in person I’m struggling to figure out if these will be big enough
Made to complement my daughter’s 2nd birthday party cake/ theme. LOVE THEM!!!! One hint——-USE A DECORATING BAG TO MAKE FUR! Melt choc and cut a small hole in the tip and go at it! Took no time at all and looks great!
Hello i just saw ur video on martha steward and i am trying to do the cupcake like bites and i was wondering what kind of frosting do u mix with the cake to be able to make balls out of it
hope to get the answer soon cause my kids birthday is comming soon i really need to practice making it first
thanks anyway for the great ideas:)
Are you absolutely sure you don’t want to do an order for me?? :)
These are the cutest things I have come across, and I am doing my daughter’s first birthday party, and would need 40 Cookie monsters… I have had the most difficult time finding cookie monster things. Most everything is either Elmo or Sesame Street, but my daughter loves cookie monster, so I was sent this by a friend, and I’m wondering if there is a way to talk you into making them for me. :)
that is so cute i love it hope i get to use it sometime
:)
Hi! I love these! Do you ever do orders? Thanks!
do u make them because my sons 1st birthday is coming up and i would love to order the cookie monster ones
Just wanted you to know, I made these for my daughters 2nd bday party and they were DELICIOUS!! Everyone loved them! I only made the Cookie Monster & Elmo ones. They were very time comsuming (plus it was my first time) but totally worth it in the end =) I wrote in a previous post that I was concerned about making them before hand, I made them 2 days before and kept them in an airtight tupperware and then on the day of the party I stuck them in a foam block. I found eyeballs (edible) at a local baking store and didn’t used jellybeans for Elmo’s nose but orange, flower shaped sprinkles I found at the supermarket. I can’t wait to make them again in a different theme. Thank you for posting such great details, step by step on how to make these =)
I am so going to try the Elmo ones for my daughter’s 2nd birthday! I wonder if these could be done as Curious George?
hi bakerella
i think you are sooooooooooo cute with all your mini baking yummies
i made these for my son’s 2nd birthday, i was having a hard time keeping the cake balls on the stick especially with the chocolate it was too heavy. any suggestions
I love your sesame street c ake pops, I would love to attempt to make them, but I haven’t been able to find the little white candies for the eyes! HAve you seen them anywhere else?
Thanks you have an amazing talent!!
Just found your site and I think I am in heaven! I am going to do these pops for my daughter’s 2nd birthday! She just loves Elmo and Big Bird. Thank you SO much for the wonderful art that you do!
I was reading through these after spotting your Mickey’s & Minnie’s (Mouse). I thought of a way to make fur for those that didn’t want to tackle the toothpick with candy melts technique, you could food-colour coconut and sprinkle it over the cake ball dunked candy melts.
Just wanted to add that I went to a baking store in my area (store is in Cranford,NJ for whoever is close by, just google baking stores) and they sold edible eyeballs there. Real cheap and such a time saver. Gonna attempt them tonight. 10pm kids are sleeping and the night is young lolol
Hey , I found the white candy online w/o having to buy a case ! Thought I would share with you guys :)
http://www.ohnuts.com/buy.cfm/bulk-candy/unwrapped-candy/white-sixlets
Thank you for the inspiration! I made the Elmo ones for my daughter’s 1st birthday. They were a big hit!
Hi! I would like to make these for my daughters birthday party. My question is, can they be made in advance? Hpw long do I have before they start tasting…off? And if I make them in advance, can they be iced in advance or is that something I have to do the day of the party? Thanking you in advance =)
wauw, only one word: amazing:-)
I’m from Belgium and i’ve been following you for a while
it’s so amazing what u do , everything is sooooo cute!
Wish i could do them to, but some of the things they don’t sell overhere
i love sesame street but i can’t find anything on them like cupcake wrappers or anything
anyway’s keep up the good work:-)
i have never seen such talent.. not only the cookies, but the pictures to display your work.. very crisp..very inviting.. I found you today while searching up crock pot recipes.. crazy I know.. now I am gonna have the cutest kid party ever!.. no more store bought cakes here.. thanks so much!
So sorry to hear you were sick…glad you are now on the mend.
When you have time my question is the same as Georgia’s…how early can I make these…monday before a saturday party ok? Also, What ideas do you have to hold the pops and serve them? Styrafoam…in a box?
Continue to heal!
Also, what flavor cake mix and frosting am I using? Vanilla cake & vanilla icing??
Hi! I saw your site a few months ago and knew that I would want to try to make these for my daughters birthday. I am getting the courage and keep reading over and over and over again what I will be doing. My question to you is, how far in advance can I make these if her party is on a Saturday? 2nd how are they stored? Do I keep them stuck in that thing and keep them uncovered in the fridge til the party?? Thanking you in advance =)
these are awesome! i am ordering various bits over the net right now! can’t wait to get my hands dirty for my daughter’s 2nd b’day in May!
could you please tell me which brand’s dark blue candy melts you were using? the wilton’s one doesn’t seem dark enough! it’s the only colour melt link missing!
thanks heaps!
You made my day! I just discovered your blog a couple of days ago and I’m already addicted. Thanks!
Cooookieee.. GRHGMSMMMMMM :)
bakerella you rock ! I saw these and said I could never make them , and then I saw you gave explicit directions ! You are the best !
These are amazing!!! If you look at Walmart during the Easter season they have yellow candy corn sometimes. just a short cut idea.
I write a food blog where I share meals I make for my 3 year old son. I am sooooo going to make these for him!! What a cute and creative idea for school or a party. Thank you!
I was just wondering if I don’t have the colored candy melts in my stores, can I get the white candy melts and color it w/ the wilton paste or do I have to use the wilton candy color they sell? It just seems like a small container for the candy coloring and I’m not sure if it will get as dark as these on here. Thank you!
I was just wondering.. Instead of using candy melts to coat these characters can you used thinly rolled fondant instead.. I realize it’s a little bit more work but hey.. I have all the time in the world..HAHA… Thanks so much..
OK Bakerella!!! YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!
OMG! you are the most creative personn…I loved those little cookies on the cookie monster mouth ..that makes him look so cute
You are a baking GODESS!!!! I just stumbled across your site and can’t figure out what to try first! Thank goodness my little boy’s birthday isn’t until November, should give me time to perfect that elmo.
I will love this at my baby’s patty but i can’t never ever make them like you, Do youu think you can make them and sale them to me?
I love these!!! I am so going to make these for my sons 2nd birthday in May. He just loves Elmo!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Have you ever thought about publishing your ideas in the Disney FamilyFun magazine?
these are adorable! you are such an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!
I think these are so cute! I’m planning to make them for favors for my son’s first birthday party. I’ve never made cake pops before, so I’m wondering how far in advance you can make them? They look like they would take a while to make and I would like to do a complete set for each person, so I think it will take a while! BTW, I love all of your work!
WOW.
I cannot believe that these are cake balls, they are so unbelievably real!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! You did a fantastic job!!
where did you get the candy coating?
very good…!!!!
so cuteeeeee
do you sell the lollipops?
I LOVE these!!! My daughter loves Elmo and I am debating on whether to do an Elmo birthday party for her or Abby Cadaby because she loves her too! How would you do an Abby Cadaby one?
I am making a hand made family game pack for my daughters school. They were needing raffle prizes and one of the games I”m making is just a picture block puzzle set for really young ones. I needed some generic pictures since they won’t be for anybody I know and wondered if I could use a few of your pictures of cake pops. They would make the perfect puzzle pictures for a toddler! You can email me at milkmilkmilk21@hotmail.com or comment on my blog. Thank you so much
CAmille
LuAnn – gumballs
Lisa – I think they were regular.
randi – don’t freeze them too long. Only about 15 minutes and then transfer to fridge. and don’t roll them too tight.
WOW!!! You just saved my life! My sons 2nd bday is coming up and I wanted to do something different well THIS IS IT!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! I am practicing this weekend! Awesome!
thanks so much for this. i am in awe.

I recreated Oscar for a friend’s 40th in November and he turned out almost as awesome as yours! Your talents inspire me!
OheMGee!
I have always been a fan of your blog, your writing, your photographs, your creativity… YOU!
My daughter looooves Sesame Street, she turns 2 in March, and I think she’d absolutely love these.
Thanks so much for being you!
oh. my. gosh. Here I was all set to do regular old cake pops for the first time when I stumbled upon these.
A.DORABLE!
I cannot get OVER it!
sooooo cute!
These are adorable, and cute, and gorgeous, and fun, so fun!
Would you ever consider doing Rainbow Brite or Sprite pops?
I love these my little girl is turning 2 in feb and she loves her monsters as she calls them . Any ways i wanted to send my praise and love for these they are awesome. I was just looking for a cake ball recipie and google sent me to your website im in total aww and i will be back for sure!
Wondering if you make this stuff and sell it. I could never be this creative and have it come out like this but man would my daughter be in heaven if she had some mickey mouse cake balls!
I am totally inspired. My nephew LOVES Elmo. He wakes up in the morning saying his name. LoL. I HAVE to make these for his birthday and I’m thinking I’m going to try spelling his name with them too in the same colors. If I can pull it off, I’ll send pics. You’re AWESOME!
hahaha these are adorable!
I made Elmo pops for my sons 2nd birthday a couple of months ago, I don’t know how to post the pictures. They were pretty cute , I tried icing for the nose, didn’t turn out as well as the jelly beans- good idea. Mine also looked a little furry, but that was just an accident.
They were cute & a big hit!
My 4-year-old were browsing your site the other night. We attempted some Easter cake pops for Easter and they were fun and tasty but not as pretty as yours (but fun for my 4 and 7-year-olds.). Anyway, Ella really admired your Sesame Street pops and then said, “Mama, now show me the Wonder Pets ones!” Hee-hee.
tried making these this morning…. OH MY GOODNESS it’s a whole lot of work!! … I added ZOE to the mix which was the most time consuming one.
You are an inspiration and I adore you blog of yummyness.

Hi, i just found your website today and i’m amazed, you have an incredible talent and i can’t wait to try these out. I have a question though, in most of your recipes call for cream cheese can frosting, i don’t live in the US so it’s not easy to find thi kind of frosting, can i use any frosting? Like a chocolate frosting?
Congratulations on a wonderful page and thank you for sharing it with us!
I made Elmo!! It turned out AWESOME!!! These were my first cake pops, so I read all the comments and tips, and that really helped. But, I just have one question . . . . how do you thin out the chocolate if it is too thick??? Kidding!! Thank you!!!!!
i have a question! do you use jelly bellies for elmo’s nose or full sized jelly beans?? i am going out today to collect all the parts for his face : )
U are creative! They are soooooo adorable!
Hi Bakerella, I have a question for you in reference to Elmo cupcakes, not pops…………(if you don’t mind answering) What would you use to make Elmo’s eyes, besides piping them with icing?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated!! Thank you!
OH MY GOD!!!! i’m in shock!! they are awsome!! incredibles!!!!
ALUCINANTES!!!
thank you bakerelaa!!!!
WOOW I want <3
Really well done!
Hey me and my mom LOVE your blog!!! I am 14 and i LOVE to bake!!! Your recipes are soooo AWSOME!!!! And….. i just wanted to say that your pictures look amazing! I want to be a photographer and a baker!!! I just have to get a REALLY nice camera first!!! I am Looking forward to learning more recipes!!
Chelsea – they’ve both worked about the same for me.
Ashley – they last for several days and you can store them in an airtight container or wrap them in treat bags with ribbon and keep them in styrofoam on the counter
Anonymous – read some of the comments in the cake pop posts and I think you’ll get some tips.
Those are sooo adorable I can’t stand it!!! There’s always something cute and yummy going on here. Love your blog! :)
So cute! You are so creative!
You are so darn talented ! I love these cake pops
You.are.awesome!
The sixlets are available at the Galerie outlet in a wide variety of colors for only a dollar a bag! They also sell them in assorted colors by the bulk.
These are amazing! I’m going to forward this to my sister-in-law. She’d love to make this for her students.
omg bakerella……………you are just amazing ! they are just the cutest ever……..i just love visiting here………puts a smile on my face every time :)
These are so good!!!
For a fur effect, you might be able to add shredded coconut to some of the icing mix? Not sure if it would work, it might be too chunky. I’ll have to try it and get back to you!
Too cute!! I can’t decide which one’s my favorite, but I love the idea of putting a miniature cookie in Cookie Monster’s mouth. They’re perfect!
genius i tell you!
This is such a cute blog, this is my first visit, I love the pics:)
these are super cute. well, everything you do is. but i have a quick question, everytime i go to dip a pop in the chocolate, the cake falls off the stick? what am i doing wrong? thanks.
there are so adorable! amazing job!
these are too cute,
& my little cousin loves elmo,
i think imma make her these..
thanks for the idea!
This is sooo cute love it.
you lady are mind blowing. they look amazing.
OMG, the cutest things I’ve ever seen!! You amaze me once again!!
YOu are so talented. I made your hamburger cupcakes they got good reviews. You have really cute ideas.
I just found this website today. What an inspiration! Can’t wait to bake everything on this site. These pops are pretty cool. I’ll try to make them for my God son for his second birthday!
You are truly an inspiration! As a SAHM and PT admin freelancer, I have now found my true passion. I discovered your site about a month ago and have been making all kinds of cake pops ever since. In fact, my sister-in-law just ordered 300 for the sweet table at her upcoming wedding! Any suggestions on how to display this many, and how long can the balls (pre-dipped) be refrigerated and made (post dipped) beforehand yet still be fresh enough for a wedding? Thanks for any insight!
Hi!
Now that you’ve done my 3-year-old Goddaughter’s obsession (she loves Big Bird and affectionately calls him “Quack Quack”) please do something for my 6-year-old Goddaughter’s obsession: Hannah Montana! It would be awesome to see a Hannah Montana cake pop or cupcake or cake themed treat! I know many moms and daughters alike would thank you!
you are a certifiable genius. i LOVE them.
Okay, seriously…you have so much talent it just makes me sick…lol. These are incredible…and they look just like the real characters…you are truly amazing and you never cease to amaze me.
What a great idea for a child’s birthday! Would be amazing to incorporate this as part of an amazing dessert bar!! The kids would be in heaven!
You’re freakin brilliant!!!!!!!!
I just stumbled across your blog. This is amazing!
You are seriously clever. I am so envious of your talents. I have tried cake decorating so many times, and nothing I have achieved comes close to this!
Incredible! Bravo.
These are so GOOD! I have a hard time finding candies to use for the eyes and stuff here, but those sixlets are perfect! I’ll have to check my Walmart next time I’m in there. Anyway If you would like to see my Sesame street friends I made a while back feel free to stop by my page sugarwinks.com
insane. certifiable! That must have taken sooooooo much time (which is why I’ll never try it!) But I can sit here, and admire the cuteness, and just hope that no one I know sees it and asks me to do it! LOL
So cute!
You are a genius.
OMG!!!!!!! Those are adorable! What a fantastic job!
