Decorative Party Pops

These Party Cake Pops by Bakerella are a Great Birthday Cake Alternative

— July 9, 2014 — Lifestyle
Instead of making a birthday cake to celebrate someone's special day, why not take a stab at making these delicious miniature party cake pops that are shaped like festive party hats and balloons?

Making these party cake pops is a surprisingly easy feat. Instead of rolling vanilla cake dough and icing into traditional round balls, baking blogger Bakerella recommends shaping the dough into cones for party hats, triangles for pennants and miscellaneous shapes for balloons. Then dip the party cake pops into bold chromatic icing colors. Feel free to add candy decoration for extra texture and detail. Your guests will enjoy snacking on these delicious party cake pops throughout the evening. Because of the small size of these cake pops, your guests will definitely feel less guilty about having seconds!
