I've been wanting to try Bakerella's cake pops that I am seeing everywhere and thought adding some to teacher gifts would be a good excuse! I did them kind of "upside-down" as I envisioned adding little tags and plopping them down individually onto desks (like in the front office) to stand up on their own.
I used red M&M's for the noses and little pearl sprinkles with food marker for eyes. I have to admit these are kind of addictive to make ... and eat. What a fun way to eat a bite of cake without a mess.
I wrapped them in lollipop bags and cinched close with a brown chenille stem. I formed a kind of "heart" at each end and them flattened them and twisted to secure to form simple antlers. I twisted one onto each of the gift bags for the teachers using the antlers without realizing this would make the bag fall right over. So I just added another pop inside to balance it out. Twice as yummy I guess!
Whoa, anytime I've seen someone make these cake pops, they look inferior to Bakerella's...yours look equally as wonderful, if not better!

How do you make the cake pop? I've seen several different ideas and really don't know which one to try.

You can also use marshmallows if you do not want to make cake balls.
