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. 🙂
These Star Trek Themed Cake Pops were ordered as a Thinking of You/Just Because Gift.

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.
Last weekend I had the opportunity to take a 2-Day Photography Workshop with Jessica Ashley of Peachtree Photography. The class focused on understanding some of the camera settings like shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and metering. I signed up for the class because I wanted to learn a little more about photography so that I could take better pictures of my family and my bakes. Â By the end of the class, I learned SO much that I was no longer intimidated with the thought of shooting in Manul Mode & I could see an unbelievable difference in the quality of my pictures.
Before the class, I always used the Auto setting on my camera and the only change I would make is whether I turned the flash on or off. Since the class, I’ve only been using the manual setting and there is such a BIG difference.
If you’ve always wanted to learn more about your camera or take better pictures, I HIGHLY recommend this class. Not only is Jessica an amazing photographer but she is also an outstanding teacher with a sweet personality and an obvious passion for the Art of Photography.
Check out Peachtree Photography. You won’t be disappointed. 🙂
