Cat Meme Cake Pops

Bakerella's Grumpy Cat Cake Pops Are Adorably Sweet

— September 18, 2013 — Lifestyle
Bakerella is well-known online for her inventive sweets and these uncanny Grumpy Cat cake pops are no exception. These creations by Angie Dudley of Bakerella combine two extremely good things: cake pops and one of the most beloved, albeit sour-faced cats on the Internet.

Angie details how to make these adorable and detail-packed cake pops on her site. In one of the photos taken to document the process of making these Grumpy Cat cake pops, you can see that she has even drawn a small sketch on paper and etched delicate lines on the cake pop coating to get Grumpy's features just right.

Although there isn't a lot of surface to work with, she is able to transform these small, spherical cakes on a stick into expressive Grumpy Cat look-alikes.
