Santa’s Bag Cake Pops

I’m so excited about these cake pops. Almost as excited as if Santa were delivering these sweet little bags himself. They are decorated with sprinkles and Teddy Grahams to look like the bags are stuffed full of toys on a teeny, tiny scale.

Are you smiling right now? Because I am. Okay, let’s see how to make them.

Cheery Christmas Tree Cake Pops

What’s on your Christmas treat list this year? Sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, fudge maybe? Well, if you’re thinking about giving cake pops a go for the first time, you are in luck because I’m sharing these sweet tree treats from my book, Cake Pops Holidays. 

It’s been a few years since this one came out, but it’s a great go-to for the cutest holiday cake pops. The hardcover may be more difficult to come by these days, but the kindle version is still a great way to learn and get inspired.

Let’s take a look at what you’ll need to decorate these trees.

Yummy Mummy Snack Cakes

Halloween is almost here and I couldn’t resist making and decorating spooky cute snack cakes to get in the mood. I’ve been wanting to try one of my cake recipes to bake in these individual foil baking containers to see how many cakes it would yield. So I used my red velvet cake recipe (turned green, of course) for the mummy faces and then decorated them as simply as I could for a pretty fun and easy individual treat.

Spider Bites

Creepy, crawly and cute. These bite-size spider cupcakes are a perfect little treat for Halloween. And they are pretty easy to decorate, too. 

They are mini in size, so you’ll want to have a 24-cup miniature baking pan handy. 

After the cupcakes are baked and cooled, start decorating by covering the cupcake tops.

Not with butterceam, but with melted candy coating for a smoother canvas to aid in making the spiders later on. Don’t worry, I’ll show you.

Reese’s Brownie Bites

Look at these bite-size delights! Peanut butter candy cups hugged by a delicious chocolate brownie. They are so good and a smaller version of these Brownie Candy Cups that I love so much. The cups are a fun treat to take to parties, but the foil liners they bake in are super hard to find these days, so I made this 13 X 9 version that you can take to friends and family or just enjoy right at home.

Yay for PB & J Cupcakes

Peanut butter and jelly is such a comforting flavor combo. Whenever I make a pb & j sandwich, I’m reminded just how good they are and ask myself why I don’t enjoy them more often. So simple. So classic. And with my sweet tooth, it only makes sense that I should try trading in loaf bread for cake. Want to go from lovable lunchable to a delish dessert? Let’s get to it!
