14th Birthday Cake Pops!

Cake pops that look like cupcakes!!  These are so great for a special birthday party.  The bottom "cake" is made of rice cereal/marshmallow treats, covered with buttercream frosting, covered with homemade fondant.  DELICIOUS! 

 Cake Pops in the cupcake shape are 1/2 again as big as our normal size cake pop or cake truffle.  There are 24 cake pops on this "cake".

Superbowl Cake Pops

I am not really into football.  By "not really" I mean that I had to go online to see who was even playing in the Superbowl and to find out what colors the teams were so that I could make cake pops for our Superbowl party. They looked really cute!  (and cute is important, even at Superbowl parties!)

Pink Champagne Cake Truffles for Valentine's Day!

Well, after several attempts at testing recipes and tweaking, I've got the Pink Champagne flavor figured out! 

We will offer these for Valentine's Day as a specialty flavor that you can choose from.

You can order Pink Champagne the rest of the year as well for a custom order, as long as you order at least three dozen of them.  It would be a really great flavor for weddings!

Happy 40th Birthday!

The custom cake truffles that I made for a 40th Birthday surprise party a few weeks ago turned out great!  They were a hit at the party and really looked great on display. There were three different flavors for the birthday girl: Birthday Cake, Ambrosia, and Oreo. 

My original idea was that it would be cute if the "chocolate" ones looked black, but I had to add so much black color to the chocolate to make them look black, that the taste was not good.  You know how bitter it tastes when you have really bright black or red frosting on a decorated cake?  Well same thing.  I am not willing to sacrifice taste for looks!  They still looked great though!

If anyone is interested in ordering custom truffles similar to this, the cost would work out like this....

8 dozen @ $24 per dozen, for custom colors is $192.

To add birthday candles is $1 per candle if I buy them or $.50 per candle if you supply them to me....so in this case, $40 for 40 candles.
So, the grand total would be $232 for 8 dozen Custom Cake Truffles.

Another question that I get a lot is...How many should I order?  This is hard for me to say, I think you know your crowd better.  Are they dessert eaters?  It is hard to stop at one, especially when you want to try different flavors.  But, there are some people out there with good self control (this is not me!).  They are a very rich and decadent desert and two per person is the maximum that you need to order, in my opinion.

For this party, there were 60 people, I figured 1.5 cake truffles per person because there was lots of food.  There were some left over, but that way the birthday girl got to take some home....Yea!
