Military Support

A friend's boyfriend just returned from Iraq/Afghanistan. She asked me to make him a cake. He's a Humvee driver, so I am creating a Humvee in the desert camo colors.

I'm going to be making a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It should be super fun, and pretty easy. I'll be using black fondant to help create the wheels. :) Pictures will be posted this weekend... After he receives it.

I also send out a special prayer and special thanks to all our military who are serving at home, abroad, or in secret. Thank you for your service; thank you for your sacrifice. May God bless you and keep you safe.

For a pageant

Special designs are available, such as bride and groom, and baby feet. Please contact me if you want a special design. I charge more for some designs because they are time consuming and detail oriented. 100 Bride and groom Pops would be $75.



I can ship as well. Shipping is $12, and I ship in a priority mail box which has about a 4 day delivery. The pops are fine in that length of time, especially in the colder weather. I will not ship once the temperature hits 60°. This will ship up to 50 cake pops.
Shipping is not available until October.

Mermaid Waters off the Port Bow!

A friend's daughter turned five this week. She is an adorable little red-head that just loves the Disney Princesses. Her favorite is Ariel from the Little Mermaid. My friend asked me to make her a Little Mermaid cake for her birthday.

It was a chocolate cake with strawberry filling. Buttercream Frosting and the entire cake was edible except Ariel.

It turned out very lovely. I used Nerds candy for the ocean gravel.

Janice Mead's Pound Puppies - For Sale

These Pound Puppies are created by Janice Mead, my mother. She uses the original Pound Puppy pattern from the 80s.

Each puppy has it's own unique personality because of the stretch of the fabric as Mom sews them together. They spotted ones have spots that are completely unique to him/her.

Mom does not use the Pound Puppy patch or eyes. She creates her own eyes and "signs" the puppies with hand sewn heart and paw pads.

Mom strives to make each puppy unique and child friendly. The puppies do not contain any removable plastic parts and are sewn to withstand play. They are super soft and cuddly. They love to be cuddled and pampered.

If you want one, please email me.
The large Puppies are $15. Small are $5.

Color availability is what is shown in the images. No other puppies are available at this time.

Large: Yellow, Green, Tan

Small: 5 Tan, 3 Pink Dalmatian, 4 purple, 4 green, 1 camo, 1 yellow

Cake Pop Vacation???

I have to make another batch of Java Pops tomorrow. I ran out today. Thankfully, the cake is already made, so I just have to mix it up and dip them. I still have an upright freezer completely full of cake pops. I will also have two boxes that won't fit in the freezer full of cake pops. I'm going to have to adjust and move things around a little to get them all in the freezer.

I also made gluten free cake pops. It really is amazing how many baking ingredients are naturally gluten free: nuts, coconut, white frosting, chocolate, chocolate chips. It made creating flavors a whole lot easier. I made up 8 flavors of gluten free cake pops. I have to say, the are scrumptious. Gluten Free cake is denser and richer, so the pops are as well. Unfortunately, they are quite a bit more expensive to make, so it's time to find some recipes and experiment.

After the Java Pops are made tomorrow, I will be taking a Pop break. I have a large supply, so I can afford to take a break and just refill the ones I run out of as I go.

The Yard Sale Facebook group has been successful. I've had seven orders in two days, and at least one more in the works. My mother has orders for two more little camo puppies, too. So, we're both doing well.

I hope I can take a Cake Pop Vacation in January... I need to.

Cancelations

Well, the bazaar was cancelled. Bummer. I was looking forward to unloading a few more pops.

Fortunately, a friend shared a local Craigslist type site through Facebook. Love it. I posted that I had pops for sale and made 6 sales in less than a day. That's very helpful. Especially in light of an empty checking account 2 weeks before Christmas.

I also posted my mother's little pound puppies. She sold 3 of them within 3 hours of posting.

I believe it is a great site. I'd share, but it's for locals only.

Here are a few photos of cake pops I've made, and mom's little Pound Puppies.

A bazaar is a good thing

I had a nice result from the bazaar. I wish I could have done a little better, but overall, it was successful. I made $255. I think for the number of people that came through that was great!

I have another bazaar tomorrow and all I made were some sugar free ones. Figured I had enough left over to sell at this bazaar.

 

In total I made just over 1,100 cake pops for the bazaar.
My mother was also part of my table. She sold pound puppies. They're a little difficult to see here, but she made them in multiple colors and in two sizes.
