minty tummy penguin pops!



OK, I'm broadening my cupcake horizons and entering the exciting world of CAKE POPS!  These cute little guys are the debut of my newest adventure; anyone who knows me should not be surprised that they are penguins ;)  Although I've done a little cake poppin' research, (Jeremy got me Bakerella's cake pop book for Christmas!) I came up with my minty tummy penguin pops all by myself *grin*

Here's what I did!  1. baked a chocolate cake  2. crumbled baked cake into teeny tiny crumbs  3. added some icing just until nice and moist and moldable  4. shaped into pear "penguin" shapes  5. froze for about 30 min  6. stuck lollipop sticks in frozen penguins and dipped in melted chocolate and let dry  7.  piped tummys and faces on with melted white chocolate mint melting chocolate  8.  added orange beaks, eyes and candy fish  9. minty tummy penguin pop goodness!

Here's to many more pops coming your way! :)
