Lia's theme was a Justin Beiber-bowling party. Little purple bowling balls and a lot of purple "bling" make this the perfect centerpiece for a 6-year old Beiber fan!!

A Greek-themed box with blue and white chocolate pops. I hope your husband liked it, Julie!

Happy 21st birthday Ryan!!!

Ryan is a NIU student who loves the Blackhawks and Bulls. Perfect fan colors!

Happy 1st Birthday Princess Alena!

The crown matches the favor tags, and the tutu is so princess theme.

Happy Birthday Lilly! I hope your classmates liked their treats!!
 
I will post the projects I have been working on the last 2 weeks in the next few days.  This weekend I will try to catch up with my posts! Thanks to my amazing husband who bought me a new laptop for my business for mother's day! This little gem is making may life so much easier, thanks Trav!
 
I am very excited to post the 4 creations I worked very hard on all week. I had SO fun, and was able to try a couple new pop designs for the first time.  Be sure to visit my "Specials page" for May promotions! /monthly-promotions-and-new-creations.html 
Here is what I was up to this week!! I would love to hear any feedback, ideas, etc.... Thanks for visiting!
Picture
These cool Zombie pops (thanks for pushing me to try something new Alfonso) were for party favors for David's guests. What a cool idea for a boy party! I hope the party was awesome!
Picture
All individually wrapped, and them packaged for delivery in the box on the left.
Picture
Scary Zombies! These are priced at $1.25 each w/o the wrapping and ribbons.
Picture
"Bedtime Stories" baby shower theme with a hot-pink color scheme. I love the theme, so I included some classic books and a "Sweet Dreams" message within the centerpiece. I hope it was a hit, Donna! Thanks for such a fun theme to work with!!
Picture
Different view of the same centerpiece. These are the "basic-style" pop which is $1.00 each unwrapped and the centerpiece is an additional $15-20.
Picture
Classic dipped Strawberries to accompany a special 1st Communion cake for Alex! Congrats Alex, and thanks for allowing me to make the chocolate-dipped Strawberries!
Picture
Although I loved all of the projects A LOT this week, I have to admit that Jody's graduation pops were my favorite. She gave me colors of her college and said she trusted me.... Could be trouble, but I hope her gamble paid off! I REALLY like this, so I hope she does too. :)
Picture
I guess I am naming this pop "Fancy swirl" and they are $1.50 each, only because of the time and detail it takes for each one..
Picture
Congrats Jody on such an amazing accomplishment. Good luck with your new Criminal Justice Degree!
 
I used the last few days to work on some non-food related projects before I have 7 straight cake-pop orders in 12 days.  The shark tags and gummy sharks in bags are for my son's preschool in a week or so.  Even though his birthday isn't until August, the class celebrates all summer birthdays in May.  We finally landed on sharks after a lot of persuasion away from yet ANOTHER dinosaur theme! :) This is part of his treat he is bringing, take a look! 
The second project is adorable, and totally not my idea (thanks Carli).  I am, however, going to use it for a ton of other themes, and it was really fun to make.  A flower-based centerpiece theme with a personalized center. Jake will be turning 2 in June, and loves Cars! Take a look.
As always, I LOVE to hear feedback and ideas from all of you! I am excited to show you all the cake pops coming soon! I added a Facebook page for my business to keep up with new posts as well. Have a great week, everyone! 
 
The next week or two will really prove if I can balance teaching, family, and a business on the side! :)  I have to remember for next year how many events take place in the beginning of May. I am excited to post pictures of some of the centerpieces and cake-pops I am working on from now- mid May.  Alfonso has me creating some zombie cake-pops for his son's birthday, I have graduation pops for Jody, a baby shower centerpiece for Donna with a "Bedtime stories" theme, and 1st communion chocolate-covered strawberries.  The week following I will post pictures of a very cute, and simple, centerpiece idea with a "Cars 2 theme", a 21st birthday pop bouquet, and more Hellp Kitty pops, followed by a huge 1st birthday for my girl Alena!!  For now, check out the clown centerpiece from AJ's 1st birthday, Meaghan's graduation invites, and a boxed arrangement for Hannah's 20th.
I would love to hear your feedback, and thanks so much for stopping by my site. This is such a fun adventure, keep the ideas coming!! :)
 
Never in a million years did I think I would say "Make sure to get your orders in to me far in advance", at least this early in the game.  I feel so incredibly lucky to have had so much interest in my small little side-gig!  Initially I was over-whelmed for a second, but I am LOVING the cool ideas and orders that are coming in! I can't wait to get my hands on this 21st birthday bouquet in a few weeks, and I have some fun baby shower centerpieces for 3 showers too! Over the last week I have worked on some new graduation invites (will post in a week or 2), 1st birthday tags, cheetah cake-pops, and Hello Kitty cake pops.  For more cake-pops click here: /cake-pops-and-themed-goodies.html Take a look, I would love your feedback!  
Also, please check out my monthly promotions page /monthly-promotions-and-new-creations.html for all of the recent projects I have made for clients as well as monthly specials!!  Mother's Day is right around the corner on May 13th, so don't forget your special ladies! 

Please contact me at: [email protected] or call 847-732-7098 with questions or orders!

Here are some of my favorites from this week!  Thanks again for taking a look and for your continued support! Have a fabulous week!

Basic chocolate bar made into a cute favor. Label with thank you message would be placed next to the ribbon. Inexpensive, yet classy!
 
This week was amazing, and I can finally share a few of the things I have been working on!  I was lucky enough to re-create a Hello Kitty Tea Party Invitation for Lilly's 4th Birthday. Lilly's mom found the Invite idea on someone's blog, and wanted to see if I could make it for her.  Take a look:

Cake-Pops GALORE!!!! I was fortunate enough to be able to help Rick and Gwen celebrate their "Surprise" 40th Anniversary with a bouquet of cake-pops as guest favors.  Thanks Laura, I know the party was AMAZING!!!!  Also, upon many requests I have posted more pictures of new pops on my cake-pop page along with more detailed pricing. /cake-pops-and-themed-goodies.html

My very first post! Woot-woot!  First off, how awesome are my friends and family (especially my husband) for supporting me with this fun adventure!  Thank goodness Spring Break allowed me a little extra time to try and get organized and fill my first batch of orders.  I was lucky enough to re-create a cute "Hello Kitty" Tea Party Invitation for Lilly (which I will post pictures of soon)  and lots and lots of cake-pops!! It's been crazy!

PLEASE leave me comments, feedback, and ideas here on the blog!  Due to emails and questions from some of you, I quickly found out people wanted to see more cake-pop designs.  I am filling a big order tonight, and in the next day or two will post pictures of all the designs I made over the last 2 weeks.  Keep the ideas coming, I love the challenge! Thanks again everyone!
