Easter Egg Cake Pops

These were part of the chick and bunny cake pop batch.  Making the Easter Egg cake pops was fun, but I was a bit burnt out of making them at the end of the day after making all the chicks and bunnies.

<Tip Alert!>  This may seem obvious, but have a plan when you are making your cake pops.  The batches I've made with no clear-cut idea as far as what I was going to make turned out poorly for me- mainly in craftsmanship.  So really think out what you want to make and how you want it to look before dipping!

In addition, I find that if I stick to one design/character when making cake pops, I'm happiest.  If I try to make too many different types of creatures, I tend to feel overwhelmed.  Then I lose my motivation altogether.  Making cake pops is supposed to be fun, not work!  I suggest keeping things simple, and stick to making one or two cake pop designs per batch.  </Tip Alert!>

 The cake pop Easter eggs are light pink because I flavored the candy coating with watermelon flavor oil.  It tasted great!

I used corn syrup to act as a glue for the colored sugar and for the candy confetti.  I used food grade paintbrushes for this.  It dries clear, but you can still see it if you're sloppy (as I was with these!).  And corn syrup also dries quickly, so keep that in mind when you're using  it.

Another egg pop!  It was fund to decorate these.  Remember that these can be time-intensive depending on how much decorating you do.

The nice thing about these eggs is that the designs you can make with them are endless.  

Another Easter Egg.  This one was sloppy because it was my first one to decorate.  Before I got my deco-flow going, so to speak!  The corn syrup dries so quickly that it is easy to get sloppy when painting it on the coating.  Ah well, lesson learned for next year's eggs!

Here are the chicks, bunnies, and Easter egg cake pops all packed up and ready to take to my daughter's preschool.  Kids love them!  Click on the image to make it bigger.

Another shot of the same pops using a flash so you can see how colorful these little cake pop boxes were.  Click on the image to enlarge it. 

Floral foam was cut and placed in the bottom of the box to stabilize the cake pops for transport and display.  Easter grass was used to hide the floral foam.  Make sure you put your pops into the floral foam FIRST before putting your grass in.
