Remember those
cakepops that I mentioned a couple months ago? As it turns out, those things are pretty popular! Shortly after I wrote that post, I made a couple batches to send into my husband's office (mostly because I wanted to try making them again and didn't want them sitting at my house and partly because the company he works for is pretty darn good to my family - and not just in the form of the paycheck they send home with him every 2 weeks.) I had a pretty awesome afternoon reading all of the e-mails he forwarded me from his co-workers thanking him (and me) for the cakepops and raving about good they were. Also among those e-mails? A request that I make 200 of those little pops for a birthday party that one of his co-workers was hosting the following weekend - for which she would pay me! I hemmed and I hawed for a few hours before deciding to take on the challenge. The end result?
(The host used styrofoam rings to 'stand' the pops around centerpieces of cotton candy, which is the dessert specialty of the venue where the birthday party was held. I unfortunately do not have any pictures, as they were delivered while I was hosting my sister's baby shower - thank you my husband and kids for that one!)
Imagine my surprise when I got an e-mail shortly after the party asking me if I would make a batch for a bachelorette party! And another asking for cakepops for a bridal shower! And another one for a baby shower! And an engagement party! You honestly could have tipped me over with a feather! Those e-mails have led to these:

The hamburger one is kicking my butt. That is adorable.
You've probably done this already, but you need to figure out how much time you spend making them and the cost of supplies vs. how much you can charge. It sounds like the demand is definitely already there, and the product is adorable. Plus, you seem to enjoy it.
I can also tell you that if you lived near me, I would be placing an order!
Pretty dang impressive!
I think I am going to attempt making them for Ruby's 2nd birthday in August! They look just way too yummy not to!
I LOVE IT!!! Can you make them and send to CT? LOL I really want to make these for Hunter's upcoming party, just afraid I won't have time. Although he'd probably have fun "helping" me make them ;-)
