If you aren’t familiar with Bakerella and her adorable cake pops, you probably live under a rock. Just kidding! But really, Bakerella is a seriously talented and creative baker. She makes these amazing cake bites and cake pops and she just came out with a book that Tracy bought me for my birthday. My first adventure (but certainly not my last) was to make these reindeer cake pops!

Do you see that smile? It’s the type of smile you just want to take a big bite out of!

The process is fairly simple: Bake a cake. In this case, I made red velvet. Crumble the cake. Add some icing and roll into balls. I put these in the fridge for a while to chill and prepped all of the decorations.

These cake pops required pretzels, m&ms, mini sprinkles, and an edible marker.

Each cake pop was then dipped in melted chocolate and decorated as quick as lightning (or really fast before the chocolate cooled).

They cooled off in a block of Styrofoam. I wish I had a picture of one with a bite out of it but they were all delivered the next morning – not a single one to spare!

These will definitely go down in history!

If, like me, you’ve been doing a lot of baking and can use a laugh, enjoy my most recent creations:

Happy cookie baking!

For Aiden’s fourth birthday, he requested a Buzz cake:

The fondant work took longer than the actual cake baking, but I think it was worth it!
