Have you tried cake pops? They’ve become quite the craze and we recently reviewed a cookbook, Review: 175 Best Babycakes Cake Pops Maker Recipes Cookbook, which is specifically formulated for the very popular Babycakes™ Cake Pop Maker (CP-12). The book contains so many fabulous recipes, many from scratch but some that are made from packaged mixes as well.  But where it really shines is its savory bites.  If you have small children and like to make breakfast or lunchtime fun, this little maker and cookbook will become favorites!

Welcome Spring - Cake Pop Decorating and Display Idea (Excerpted from 175 Best Cake Pops Recipes by Kathy Moore and Roxanne Wyss © 2012 Robert Rose Inc. www.robertrose.ca Reprinted with permission. All rights reserved.)

The recipe below shows some of the techniques used for decorating and displaying your pops.  It’s slightly edited here to remove references to pages within the book that give additional details and photos on how to dip and assemble.
