By popular vote on my facebook page I am doing a tutorial on the lolli-cake-pops I made up.
But first I'm going to
Saw some cute dagashi inspired marshmallows on the decorated cookie blog and I thought wow - they are super cute might try making some cake pops like this.
Timing was just before Halloween so I tried out some Halloween inspired ones. I considered these a big fail which is why you didn't see the pics. Will be going back to these with a new improved formula/process one day soon.
However while I was covering them in marshmallow fondant I saw a vision of lollipop cookie pops and that's how I got to these.
and while I was making these I came up with another great idea which if they work I'll share as well.
Yup that's me...... I see cake in almost everything I look at.
Then after I finished making them I was inspired to make a lollipop cookie pop bouquet by gorgeous photo's I've seen around of lollipop brides wedding bouquets.
Hint - if you are making the pops for a bouquet use real candy melts not just white chocolate like I did in my second batch as the candy melts set harder and will not smudge while your manipulating your pops around in the bouquet.
The bouquets were really cute and they would probably make a perfect little flower girl bouquet if you can stop the kids from eating them for long enough....
Oh and great news I have a cookbook being released in the US December 2011 - here is a link to Amazon, the preorder price is ah-mazing. Stacks more recipes and ideas for pops and other treats on a stick:
Anyway I know you just want the tutorial so here you go. Recipe after jump.
