Recently, I took some time to make a cake that has been on my baking to-do list. Using a couple of things that I learned when I took Mike McCarey’s Advanced Cake Sculpting class on Craftsy, I decided to make a Zelda themed cake that would require an inner structure.  Being a total beginner at creating a cake skeleton, I made the Mailbox from LOZ: The Wind Wakerbecause I thought it would be easy. Ha!

Now the story of a group of cake pops who lost everything and the one baker who had no choice but to put them altogether. It’s Arrested Development Cake Pops… 🙂

The list includes: Mr Banana Grabber, Lucille Bluth, Loose Seal, Blue Tobias, Never Nude Shorts, Bluth Frozen Bananas, a Bowl of Candy Beans, Glisten Toothpaste, Franklin Delano Bluth the Puppet, a new Poof, and a Hook Hand.

These Pig Cake Pops were created for a local company and actually contain a secret on the opposite side. The secret will be revealed once the company gives the go ahead. They were fun to make.
