# Decorative Cookie Pops This Sweet Recipe from Bakerella Provides an Easy Alternative to Cake Pops By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-03-17 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-pops References: [bakerella](http://www.bakerella.com/easy-oreo-cookie-pops/) Cake pops are a great treat for any occasion, but if you're not as masterful as Bakerella, these simple cookie pops are a great shortcut to sweet success. Bakerella's Easy Oreo Cookie Pops are made by taking apart the [classic cookie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cookie-products) and adhering a stick to the inside of the halves with some icing. From there, the cookie pops are made by reassembling the whole thing and securing everything in place with a colorful candy wafer coating. Since this results in a nice smooth finish, it's great for adding on letters or decorations if you're feeling artsy or want to get some kids involved. For those who would rather buy [cake pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubaistyle-chocolate-mac-pops) than prepare them at home, this is the perfect project to appeal to the pseudo-baker. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Simple Cookie Pops:** The trend of making easy cookie pops as an alternative to more complex cake pops presents an opportunity for bakeries and dessert shops to offer a convenient and customizable treat. - **Kid-friendly Treats:** The trend of creating cookie pops that are easy and fun for kids to make, provides an opportunity for baking kits and educational programs to offer engaging activities for children. - **Decorative Desserts:** The trend of using cookie pops as a canvas for creative decorations and designs presents an opportunity for baking supply stores and decorating services to cater to the artistic baker. ### Where This Applies - **Bakeries and Dessert Shops:** The trend of easy cookie pops can be leveraged by bakeries and dessert shops to attract customers with a convenient and customizable treat option. - **Baking Kits and Educational Programs:** The trend of kid-friendly cookie pops provides an opportunity for baking kits and educational programs to offer engaging activities for children, fostering their interest in baking and creativity. - **Baking Supply Stores and Decorating Services:** The trend of decorative cookie pops creates a demand for baking supply stores and decorating services to provide a wide range of artistic tools, toppings, and designs for users to personalize their cookie pops. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Macaron-Made Dessert Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-cookie-mac-pops.md) - [Better-For-You Cookie Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-creme-cookie-poppers.md) - [Customizable Cookie Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-twists-lab.md) - [DIY Monster Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-pops.md) - [Advanced Baking Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reach-for-the-stars-shaker-cookie-kit.md) - [Soft-Baked Cookie Cake Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cakesters-confetti-cake.md) - [Festive Candied Popcorn Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-pop-and-candy-pop.md) - [Ready-to-Bake Holiday Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-frosted-sugar-cookie-kit.md) - [Snowball-Inspired Chocolate Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baker-and-baker.md)
