Stocking-Shaped Cake Pops

Bakerella's Stocking Cake Pop Recipe is a Charming Holiday Treat

— December 14, 2013 — Lifestyle
Bakerella’s adorable stocking cake pops add a festive twist to the classic cake pop recipe. Instead of having just a round cake pop, Bakerella shapes her Christmas cake pops into sock-like shapes to create convincing stockings. The stockings are dipped into colorful melted candy and topped off with a melted white candy cuff and coated in sugar for that fuzzy texture.

What makes these stocking cake pops so charming are the tiny sprinkles Bakerella uses to make it seem like they are full to the brim with goodies. This includes tiny candy canes and gingerbread men, which help to scale down the stockings.

These cake pops are the perfect treats to really wow guests at a holiday party. Bakerella includes the instructions to make these stocking cake pops on her blog, but the charming cake pop recipe can also be found in her Cake Pops Holiday book, which might be worth investing in for a picture-filled step-by-step guide.
