These Pete the Cat Cake Pops were created for Kota C’s 3rd Birthday. The pops were modeled after one of her favorite books, “Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes!”

This week was especially awesome! It was awesome because I had the chance to test shipping cake pops and it was a shipment at the request of the creators of the Robot Chicken TV Show! They contacted me to order some Robot Chicken cake pops to give them a try. Midtown Sweets doesn’t currently ship but it was a great opportunity to see what it takes since they were ordered as a Just Because.

Mr Senreich was kind enough to send a few pictures of one of the RC Cake Pops checking out the Studio. 🙂

Holy Freezoli! Midtown Sweets was featured in the March 2013 issue of Georgia Magazine. It is so exciting to actually see my Bee Cake Pops in print! I’m grinning from ear to ear. Thank You so much to Jennifer Hewitt & Georgia Magazine for interviewing me about my tiny corner of the Cake Pop baking world. And I am very Thankful to Angie Dudley (Bakerella) for giving so many bakers the inspiration and education to create a world of Pops. Awesomeness to the 5th Power! 🙂

I finally took a moment to make a cake pop themed around one of my favorite gaming series, Legend of Zelda. A Zelda themed pop has been on my to-do list for about 2 years and I decided to make one today with an extra cupcake from the latest bake up. I was actually planning on making a Link (Wind Wanker) Cake Pop but all the heart displays from Valentine’s actually gave me the idea to try a heart shaped Majora’s Mask Cake Pop. It was a tricky, tricky pop.

The pop is chocolate cake molded into a heart shape and then dipped in a blend of dark blue and pink chocolate. Tinted rolling fondant was used for the eyes and horns.

I made a secret “Stache” of Cake Pops for my hubby. These are chocolate cake dipped in white chocolate. The mustache art is food color gel paint.
