It's A Ghost and Pumpkin Kind-of Celebration

It's that time of year, yes. You saw my previous post about the basic cake pop with Halloween colors. It has been a little crazy busy at this time of year with lots of stuff going on with kids, family, home, blah blah blah. You know what I mean. Lucky for me, someone other than myself has a birthday close to Halloween...hence the celebratory cake pops or Ghosts and Pumpkins for a friend's son's young birthday.

I confess. I hated the Wilton's edible markers. Sorry Wilton. I've heard of other brands and need to seek them out- I think Americolor? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. For now, I just painted the faces on the pumpkins and ghosts using the dark chocolate candy melts. Not bad, I must say. It was quite fun at wee hours of the morning while watching Vampire Diaries!

For these cake pops, the request was strawberry cake. The party go-ers are sure to enjoy! Happy Birthday little man A!

Trick or Treat! It's Halloween Cake Poppin' Time!

I am a bit late...but here are my (so far) Halloween cake pop creations. There are SOOO many Halloween cake pops all over the internet and I have yet to try my creative hand at the witch, the werewolf, the eyeballs, frankenstein, etc., etc. BUT...here are some simple Halloween balls of sweet. I am testing out the Wilton brand edible markers on the pumpkins. Sorry, Wilton. Not like. I know there are a couple of other brands to try that I have read good reviews about: Americolor Edible Markers specifically. The Wilton ones were handy and easy to pick up at Michael's. Anyway, making the pumpkin faces was fun. I only did a couple. Stay posted for some more daring Halloween fun!
