A lovely cake poppy tale and a SQUILLION makes to share! :)

So, I have lots and lots of makes to share with you again, but first I'd like to tell you about a client of mine. A few months ago, she contacted me with regards to providing the cake pops for her son's naming ceremony. Her idea was to have cake pops to represent what she'd like him to be and accomplish in life. Such a lovely sentiment, I couldn't help but get excited at the prospect!

First and foremost, she wanted him to be happy: 

Smilie Cake pops

She also wanted him to do well at school, and find love and be loved: 

Glitter Heart cake pops

Mortar board/Graduation cake pops

She wanted him to travel, and represent his heritage (a mixture of British and Malay - hence the placing of the hearts):
Globe cake pops


She wanted him to do well at sports (particularly rugby!):
Rugby Ball cake pops



And finally, she wanted him to reach old age and find someone to settle down with (alas I didn't take a photo of the grandpa and granny pops I made, so here are just the grannies!):

Don't you think that's just the most adorable and inspired idea? I loved making them, especially the globes. Was a bit of a challenge to get the continents in the right place, but I think I did okay - hee hee!

I received a heart-warming thank you that brought a tear to my eye - makes my job all the more worthwhile:
"Just dropping an email to say thank you so much for the amazing pops :) They are
more breathtaking than I could ever imagine and the details are exquisite! You even
made extra which is very generous and kind of you. 

You've made my wee man's Naming Ceremony that extra bit special. My guests are in
for a special treat and they'll be in awe. Thank you again so much :)

You are truly wonderfully gifted xxx"


And now for the rest of my makes this past month. If we're honest, I've been going a little glitter-mad. I just can't stop myself, it's like an addiction! 

First up - lots of handbags:

Until next time, cake poppers!

  1. What a wonderful way to celebrate the naming of a child. Your pops were perfect for the occasion.

    All of the other pops are equally amazing. You have great technique. I particularly like the mermaid with her glittery tail.

  3. Hi Sara,
    Thanks for stopping by!
    None of these have been made with molds, all shaped by hand.

  4. Hello Cake Pop Princess....Your cake pops are amazing!!! I just received an order for purse pops (which I've never made) and saw yours. Do you use fondant and edible glitter on them? Better yet could you email me (u_niquetreats@ymail.com) some pointers/tips for making them? That would be greatly appreciated. Keep the good ideas coming....#lovethem

  6. Hi I was wondering what you used for the duck bill? Is it just molded cake or candy?

  7. Disco dust is plastic craft glitter and should not be used on food that will be eaten.
    Here's an article about a UK business that was fined for using it:

    and here's how the UK Food Standards Agency handles it:
