Poptarts-on-a-Stick and Bakerella's New Book

Poptarts-on-a-Stick and Bakerella's New Book
With a bucket full of fresh cherries and a package of premade pie crust in the fridge, my kids and I had plans to make a batch of Homemade Cherry Poptarts. But, my clever 7-year-old, Alyssa, had an even better idea, “How ’bout we make little poptarts and put them on a stick like Cinderella?” ‘Cinderella’ here isn’t the fairy tale princess, it’s my Alyssa’s favorite blogger (and one of mine)–the delightsome Angie Dudley of Bakerella–creator of the original cupcake pop, and author of the new book Cake Pops . Bakerella’s original idea for a cupcake-on-a-stick was an overnight sensation, landing her a guest spot on the Martha Stewart Show, and a mulitude of other incredible opportunities to collaborate with top-notch companies. It’s no wonder. Which is exactly what our family thought last week of our Bakerella-Inspired PopTart Pops. I recently caught up with Angie Dudley (aka Bakerella) and asked her about her book, her baking, and how she finds time to get it all done. Best new Cake Pop?

Amy’s Cookbook Finds: Sweet Confections {+Giveaway!} « SWEET DESIGNS – AMY ATLAS EVENTS I think you all know by now that I have a slight obsession with cookbooks. My husband and I laugh sometimes that cookbooks are to me what shoes were to Carrie Bradshaw, and that our home is slowly but surely being invaded by cookbooks. My collection rivals the Barnes and Noble cookbook section. While I read many books online now, there is something about flipping through the pages of a cookbook that I’ll never tire of. While in B & N this past weekend, I found Sweet Confections by Nina Wanat of the BonBonBar. Liquor Lollipops… Chocolate Stars… Sweet & Salty Snack Tray… Salted Chocolate Caramel Lollipops…

Spring Forward to Summer: Chocolate and Salted Caramel Pudding Pops Spring has just begun and I’m already fast forwarding to summer with these pudding pops. It’s hard to deny a chocolate and salted caramel pairing. Especially one on a stick that is begging you to have a seat and enjoy the slow pacing a popsicle has to offer — that is if you can keep yourself from biting into it. Incredibly easy to make and even easier to devour, you should have no problem whipping up a dozen or more of these in under 30 minutes. The hardest part will be waiting for them to freeze. Let me say that if you’ve never had a pudding pop, well it’s a lot like a Fudgiscle but better and richer. So relax, enjoy and yield to the slow pace of licking a popsicle.

How to Make Cake Pops I’m not Bakerella (Queen of the Cake Pops), but I whipped up some cake pops at my daughter’s request for her birthday. I have to be honest, I think I prefer Oreo truffle pops a bit more, but my daughter was mighty happy with these, and she is the birthday girl. Here’s how to make cake pops… Easy ingredients – a cake mix (and what you need to make the cake), a can of frosting, chocolate, sprinkles and sticks. Make up your cake mix and bake. Now we have cake. Not quite destroyed enough yet… And now into a bowl. Now to add the frosting. I used about half the can. After combining the cake and frosting it formed a ball of dough so to speak. The next step was to put the sticks in. I made pink, white and chocolate covered cake pops. After that I dipped each one into the chocolate and than coated with a variety of different sprinkles. A few more shots of cake pop goodness. My daughter insisted on blue and green decorations for hers.
