Inspired by the release of the Paddington movie, these cute bear cake pops were created by Bakerella.
In terms of recreating these cake pops on your own, the most challenging aspect is likely the fine sculpting that gives the faces definition. For the most part, the cake pop is round, with a few protrusions for the hat, muzzle and the top of Paddington's blue raincoat. Some of the items that are required for making the fine details on these fun cake pops include black sunflower seeds, an edible ink pen in black and dark sugar pearls to give the iconic bear a pair of curious, sparkling eyes. With a batch of cake pops in the works, one of the best things is that you can give each bear a completely different expression and personality through different decorations.
