Lots of tasty little treats are here that are guaranteed to appeal to your child or the child in us all, all built around a common base but decorated highly to look individualistic and unique.
This is not scratch cookery but a pragmatic approach by the author to use where possible ready-made mixes (or similar) to get to a firm foundation, allowing you spend your time creatively decorating your little treats.

Oh my gosh I LOVE this book! A friend told me about Bakerella's blog(bakerella.com) so I checked it out. And totally loved it. Soon I was following her blog and devouring every word she posted. When she told her devoted readers about the book I squealed and quickly opened another page and went to the Barnes & Noble website to order the book. Imagine my dismay when I read that the book was not available until September! Nevertheless, I went ahead and ordered it. That was in July. I counted of...more
Love this cookbook!!! The projects look like they have a varying difficulty from roll and dip basic cake balls to then on to cup cake pops, exciting animals, and even holiday themed pops. Everything you need to make each pop is listed at the start of the project and it's all super easy to find at most grocery and definitely at any craft or cake decorating store. Read the whole thing and browsed threw the projects while baking my first cake to crumble. Best part it wants you to use boxed cake and...more
Picked this up at the library because of the cover. I looked through it quickly and everything looks so cute! The instructions look easy to follow - so even though I only had plans to "browse," I may have to try making some! Of course, I will review if I do!
I love desert I love chocolate, cakes, puddings, ice cream cakes, pies and cookies. I am always opened to try anything sweet. So when I tried my first cake pop I fell in love. I was determined to make these delectable treats. Then I received this book from Bookbub.com. I devoured it it takes some practice but I know that I will master these cake pops. I love the simplicity of this book the pictures, and instructions are fantastic. I finally was able to make some cake pops for work to celebrate t...more
This is a toughie to review because the pictures are amazing, and Bakerella has really elevated weird little balls of cake on a stick into art forms. I would recommend this book for it's creative element - there really are some wonderful cake pops. The book is easy to read, well laid out and clear but the problem is the book doesn't really offer much in the way of original recipes, and once you've learned the basics of cake pops you really only need the book for a creative launching point rather...more
I've been resisting the cake pop fad for awhile now. I didn't plan to turn around on it either...until my last cake didn't come out of the pan right. So what do you do with a par crumbled cake that is otherwise fine? Make cake pops. So, I did. And against any ill-wishes, they turned out wonderfully. Moist, yummy and horribly addictive.
So...I figured it was time I got this cookbook from the inventor of cake pops, Bakerella. I'm glad I did because apparently making these cuter than the classic ba...more

I had made cake pops before, but this book gives you some great ideas for parties. A Christmas Tree Pop for a Christmas Party, or a pirate pop for a kids party. The list goes on and on.
The only problem I had when making the cake pops was they were too sweet. Oh yes I am a Sugar Addict. Yet, I thought they were waaayyy too sugary. Next time, I think I will be using the reduced sugar cake mix and icing.
If you are making them for your kids...send them to someone else's house after they eat these....more

An AMAZING book! Whether a beginner or a novice to the wonderful world of Cake Pops, this book is just superb. Easy to follow instructions and lots of beautiful pictures to capture ones imagination and taste buds!
Loads of top tips and step by step illustrated instructions too as well as lists of suppliers and manufacturers of where to source products. A firm favourite baking book of our families now which we refer to and make from time and time again.

Great book! It takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it the real fun begins. The instructions are nice and clear, and the photos are just adorable.
So far I've made cake pops for several gift baskets (Mother's Day, a baby shower, a wedding shower, and a b-day). Everyone loved them, they're easy to store, and you can make some of them ahead of time. Great book! I highly recommend.

I've followed Bakerella online for just over a year, and tried many of her recipes, ALL of which I've loved. I was SO excited to finally get the Cake Pops book, and ever since I've been reading it constantly, pouring over the designs and ideas. It's the kind of recipe book that makes me want to crank up the oven immediately, and start baking tonight.
Someone had brought cake pops to a bridal shower and they were beautiful and delicious! I had asked her for the recipe and she recommended Bakerella's webiste. I bought the book and it gave wonderful tips on how to make the cake pops. And the pictures of the different cake pops were beautiful. I can't wait to try them out this Christmas.
After Ms. Dudley had been on the Today show with Kathie Lee and Hoda, I just knew that I had to see this book. The whole idea is surprisingly simple and even a novice cook should be able to make these delightful treats for a party, a bake sale or as gifts.
The three designs that really caught my eye were the cupcake, "ice cream cone" (just too cute!) and the bride and groom pops (great idea for wedding or bridal shower favors).

This book was fun. I made some of the cake balls for my book club and they were a big hit. They are really very tasty and pretty easy, but they look like something you would find at a bakery.
I like cookbooks like this one with color pictures and step by step instructions. Additionally, the spiral type of binding is great because it will lay flat on the counter when you are trying to read it and bake at the same time.

The original book about the current cake pop craze, Bakerella shows the everyday cook how to transform everyday cake into wonderful creations. Her simple to follow recipe for making the initial cake pop shape is the best I've found. From there, your imagination is the only limit on your designs.
You know how Bento takes school lunches to a whole new level? Well, this is the Bento of the cupcake world. The ideas are absolutely adorable and I want to make every single one of them. But, like Bento, I look at them and think, "Wow. That is a LOT of time." Will I make them? Some. For events that are really, really important to me. Will I make these for an after school snack? Nope. However, I am happy to say that the level of work necessary is actually less than I expected, which is a relief....more
The pictures in this book are adorable, and the ideas are wonderful! However, they are not practical. Who has time to make a robot cake pop for their kid's second grade class (of twenty five!)? I suggest making the plain cake pop. They are yummy and fairly simple.
Loved making these and sharing them with my co-workers. A little nervous to try the more complicated decorations but Bakerella does a great job explaining the process and offering many tips and advice.
Cake pops are fun! I made some before I read this book and had challenges. Reading this really helped fix my problems and the ideas are so cute! My kids love them and we'll be doing more in the future.
Wanted to add another item to my baking repertoire. This has some cute and fun ideas. It gives clear instructions and tips at the beginning of the book. Looking forward to trying these out.
had my first cake pop the other day and was a little let down. Too sweet. But I got this book a year ago and figured I'd try one or two of the recipes...they def look cute!
Lots of great ideas in this book and tips. I got it way after I started making cake pops. But it's a must own for anyone who does them or admires Bakerella. I wish she gave tips on places and websites to find a lot of this stuff though. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find even candy necklaces nowadays.
Really really creative ideas! Seen two of my friends make these and they can get very ornate and time consuming, but so pretty in their presentation! Can't wait to try my own.
Amazing details and great photography! If you like cake balls/pops, or if you've never tried making them, this book will give you simple directions to get you going!
A great cookbook for unique, whimsical desserts! Read me full review here:

An excellent cookbook for those who like doing something a little different. Recipes are relatively easy and very cute!
*Excellent* step by step instructions with photos, projects from the simplest to complex, and all utterly adorable.
This is so much fun to look at! Perhaps if I keep trying them, my artistic skills will improve somewhat!
So cute. I had these at a party and they are delicious! Can't wait to make some with the kids.
