lollipop sticks – Cake & Cupboard

Teddy Bear Cake Pops

My son just turned two, and we had a teddy bear picnic themed party to celebrate! I wanted to make some extra special treats for the kids, and thought teddy bear cake pops would be perfect! I don’t have much experience with cake pops, so I stuck to the basics. I used store bought cake mix and frosting because I was short on time, and didn’t know how difficult this project would be. It turns out that cake pops are pretty easy and fun to make, so next time I won’t hesitate to branch out with different flavors and frostings.

Rocket Pop Cookies

When my little boy turned one, I wanted to make his party extra special. I needed a way to make an extraordinary party with a little time. I love things that can be made in advance, and cookies are one of those things that add extra pizzazz to a party and can be made and stored easily. I found this rocket cutter, and I knew it would be perfect. I wanted these cookies to stand up so that they could be used as a standing element on a dessert table. I also wanted to package and give out the rest of the cookies as party favors.
