Christmas Tree Cake pop - Yup double sided cake pops


 Double sided Christmas cake pops.

Yes this solves that age old dilema of what to serve your cake pops in, no running around trying to find the right size Styrofoam block, these pops hold themselves up.



All jokes aside these pops do stand up by themselves as long as you manage to set them to dry on a parchment paper lined tray before the candy coating has dried so they set flat. Also you need to make sure that the bottom pop is a bit bigger than the top pop to weigh it down, and finally as you can not hold onto the stick you need to make sure the coating is the type that sets hard like regular Wilton melts and other types of candy coating that I usually suggest for cake pops. I just know sometime people like the taste of regular chocolate better but in this instance y'all will end up with sticky fingers.


These little trees are decorated with candy writers (melted candy coating in a tube), green sanding sugar, pink sugar pearls and pink sugar sprinkles (for the star topper).

I cut regular 6" sticks in half so that makes the sticks 3" (of course, I know you can work it out I just couldn't help myself).

So anyway time is running out to get a copy of Sweets on a Stick in time for Christmas, you all know I like to be helpful so here are a couple of links to a couple of the online shops:

It's available here at Amazon.



Or the book depository (Click HERE)

Or here at fishpond (Aus/NZ)

  14. Hello girl! I have a doubt about the book (since i think you got it) is it truth that all content is black ang white? i read a post about it in Amazon, also they say that there are no images inside :( Hope you can help me with this before i buy it! thank you so much

  15. Hi, The book is definitely color and it has at least 50 color pictures. The publisher advised me Amazon had a license to print the book and mistakenly printed some in black and white. I received 2 of the black and white copies and when I complained to Amazon they replaced them with 2 color ones at no extra cost. It actually worked out good in the end as I have a black and white copy I use in the kitchen and the color copy I keep with my good cook books. Anyway hopefully if you order it you should receive a colour copy first go as the misprint occurred back at the start of the year and they were made aware of the issue.
