I have to be honest, I have never really got the whole cake pop phenomenon, it's not that I don't think they're cute, I really do and have often ogled the amazing work of Bakerella and Molly Bakes. It is just that they have never really caught my imagination before, that was until I made these cuties!
It was my day off and I decided it was time to give cake pops another go, (I have only made them once or twice before with mixed results). This time I decided to try out a design of my own and I'm so glad I did because I think I may now be hooked!
I love cake pops!
I need lots of practise, they're fiddly little things but I know I'm going to love playing around with ideas!
For these Teddy Bear Cake Pops I rolled/sculpted brownie/frosting mix into a basic bear head shape, minus the ears. I tried a few different things for the ears but peanut butter M&Ms worked a treat. I pushed them into place before refrigerating the brownie balls/heads and dipped the whole lot in candy melts once cooled and lollipopped.
I used light brown peanut butter flavour and dark cocoa flavour candy melts to cover my bears and used a toothpick to create the furry effect. I then added little fondant details, what can I say I'm a cake decorator at heart!
For the bitten bear above I used an M&M for the nose, so cute!
I adhered the fondant bows, hats and noses using little dabs of melted candy melts.
I need to stock up on cake pop supplies now! Like I needed another baking addiction...anyone know where to buy candy melts and lollipop sticks in bulk...?

Aw very cute! I've only attempted cake pops one. I had an overly ambitious idea to do cute little bride and groom ones for my wedding as guest favours. Well an hour in that idea was scrapped. I'll have to give them another go :) Can't wait to see more of them!
