Heart Cake Pops

Kelly Peterson - Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Today we were on KWCH for Tasty Tuesday demonstrating how to make Heart Cake Pops just in time for Valentine's Day. In case you missed it, here is a link that will take you step by step to this delicious treat: http://www.kwch.com/videogallery/67622996/News/Velvet-Cream-Bakery

Our recipe and instructions:

Cake Pops Dough:

Your favorite cake (baked)

2 cups of frosting

Crumble the cake by sliding two pieces of cake against each other. Once completely crumbled, slow add the frosting until you reach a nice dough consistency with not crumbs unfrosted. Put in the refridgerator to chill for an hour or so.

Heart Cake Pops:

Cake pop dough

Lollipop sticks

Chocolate/Candy coating (heated per instructions)

Sprinkles or other fun edible decorations

Glass or foam piece

Heart shaped pan or mold

Once the dough has chilled, take a small ball and start to form it into the heart mold. Pop the heart out and grab a lollipop stick. Dip the stick about 1/4" into the melted chocolate and slide the stick through the heart at the base being careful not to go through the top. Let this set to dry a minute. Then dip the heart completely into the chocolate and once covered, tap the top of the stick to remove any excess chocolate. It's time to decorate! Have fun and each heart will be as unique as yours. Place the stick into a glass or foam mold and allow to dry.

After your hearts set, arrange them as a bouquet or wrap in a cellophane bag for a sweet Valentine's Day treat.

The 2011 Wichita Chamber Exposure event was a BLAST yesterday!

Cake Truffles are a great way to celebrate the up coming holidays for catering parties and various sizes of coprorate gifts.

We also got to hang out with great friend and mentor Beth Tully of Cocoa Dolce Artisan Chocolates. Thank you to everyone who came out to help us eat all of our cake truffles!

Daisy Love

Kelly Peterson - Monday, September 19, 2011

We just spent a beautiful Saturday with newly weds Josh and Abbey and Century Plaza. Abbey's inspiration came from gerber daisies and shades of pink. Our custom cake pop stand had special meaning to the groom since he helped us build it last spring. Flavors like pink champagne, german chocolate, red velvet and mayan chocolate glittered their delicious table. Their marble cutting cake was adorned with an edible gerber daisy flower. Congrats Josh and Abbey!
