Black, Red and Silver All Over

We were asked by a client to put together some favour packages for a 40th birthday bash.  The theme was black, red and silver and the guest of honour is - like most women I know - a shoe fan.  The image in the bottom right shows how we accommodated the colours (and the shoes!) into the customized tags.  We modified our standard vanilla and chocolate cake pop looks to mesh with the colours seamlessly and to make the whole presentation even more personalized.

We photographed the cake pops on a cake inspired display that we put together.  We have been looking for different ways to display the pops - especially for special occasions - and this type of customizable display fits the bill.  Stay tuned for the next few posts to see more of these in varying shapes and colours.

Birthday Gift Box

Here is a beautiful box that can contain up to 15 cake pops. I love the window so people can see the wonderful assortment inside.  We can decorate it in many different colour schemes to suit all occasions.

I Love Coconut

 

When we started taste testing our coconut cake pops, the reactions of our taste testers were a little extreme to say the least.  It appears the people either love or hate coconut.  There was very little indifference to coconut; no grey area at all.  However, after a little coaxing/bullying on our part, we convinced some self-proclaimed coconut-haters to give these cake pops a try.  Although skeptical at first, the combination of chocolate cake, macaroon and graham won them over.  A win for the coconut lovers!

You Are All Mine

Here is a great view of the label for package in the previous post.  I love the contrast of the black, white and red colour combination.  (With that in mind, I invite everyone to listen to "Fell in Love with a Girl" by the White Stripes and know that it is still has good as you remember.)

Thank you to the lovely Stephanie for this super set of photos!

Love is Sweet...And a Little Glamorous

The second set of packaging we put together for Valentines Day has a more glamorous vibe to it.  Lots of red hearts, a punchy font and thick black satin ribbon certainly help send the "Be Mine" message.

Six Little Cake Pops All in a Row...

Our punched labels are a great way to not only dress up the cake pops but identify flavours when they are served as part of dessert or sweet table.  We used our standard Le Petit Buttercup colours for these ones but we can customize to any decor!

Boy Baptism

We have supplied cake pops to a few baptisms lately. These ones were for a good friend of ours who was planning the event for her sister. She asked us to create something in shades of blue and this is what we came up with. Don't the tags make the cake pops look sophisticated?

Merci pour un professeur

A sweet little thank you for a teacher that took the time to help an appreciative student who missed a few days!

Girls Day Out

My niece asked me to make her some cake pops for her and her friends. They decided to spend a day together: picnic, quality friendship time and a sleepover! How nice to be sixteen! So to make it a little fun we made her these cute packages to bring on her picnic.

Every Picture Tells a Story

Hmmm....what does this picture tell you?
1) It is Jesse's birthday.
2) He is 4 years old.
3) His favourite colours are blue and red.
4) He is kind little fellow who wanted to give gifts to his classmates.

Jesse is the son of a friend of mine and I can attest that all of the above are true.  (He is also very cool and a fearless swimmer.)  Happy birthday Jesse!

Fall is in the air

We came up with two flavours for the fall season; pumpkin spice and "nutty" pumpkin spice. The "nutty" one is sprinkle with candied pecan for all you nutty people! Made with pumpkin and our own blend of spice, this cake pop is a perfect fit for the months to come. This flavor is only available for October and November. So indulge quickly.

Happy Birthday!

We recently delivered to a client who was looking for a sweet way to say 'Happy Birthday' to her daughter.  A box of cake pops with these friendly tags will certainly help do the trick!  The coordinating pink bow makes them extra special and continues the pretty theme.

Bows

This post is just a quick one to show what a difference a small touch can make.  Our client was looking for a simple way to dress up an order of cake pops that she was bringing as a thank you for a weekend at a friend's cottage.  It took just a little bright, summery and casual ribbon to make these cake pops look extra special.  A lovely thank you indeed.

Little Miss Sunshine

Lemon cake pops are back and they are better than ever. Erika was determined to have a buttery-lemony cake pop to satisfy all the lemon lovers out there.  (That includes you, Mark.) I tasted it today and had to blog it now because it it sooooo lemony good!

Birthday Platter

A client asked us to create a platter for her daughter's 40th birthday celebration. She wanted a variety of flavors to offer her guests and also wanted to mention her daughter's name in the presentation. Stephanie came up with these cute little letter tags.  I absolutely love them.  Think of the messages you could create to mark an event!

Wedding Bells

This summer, we had the opportunity to not only provide cake pops as 'thank you favours' for a beautiful wedding but to also meet a truly lovely couple.  Forget all the stories you hear about difficult brides and disinterested grooms.  Deborah and Jon were gracious, decisive and charming - perfect clients in every way.  We were honored that they included our treats as part of their big day and wish them joy and happiness for years to come.

Giving Back: Breast Cancer Event

We want to thank all of our friends and family who participated in Walk for the Cure events across the country this summer.  We donated some cake pops to the Montreal-based event to help support such an important cause.

Happy Canada Day

The customer requested all the cake pops to be red and white -  what a cute idea for a Canada Day Party! To make sure everyone knew what flavor they were indulging in, we made tags with the flavor and a maple leaf to finish the patriotic decor.

Making a Splash with Cake Pop

These little babies were made for a teenage girl's pool party. I love, love, love these cute little flip flops. I've wanted to use them forever and what better occasion then a pool party! Admittedly, they were not so easy to make since the top of the flip flop is a different piece than the base. Imagine gluing that!!! (A special glue pen was needed - even better.) But it was worth it. They came out incredibly pretty; especially with the sparkly paper.

Hat's off to You!!!

Here is a graduation party give-away. A very considerate client wanted to bring a little presents to her grand-daughter's graduation dinner. The colors of the university were purple and yellow so we added ribbon to tie up the little goodies. We found scrapbooking paper with these grad hats on it and made little tags perfect perfect for the occasion.

P.S A little while ago Erika commented on the fact that I take better pictures then her. Well this time it is my turn to tell you our little secret to this blog: SHE IS THE WRITER! I clearly struggle with writing since I am french and it's just hard for me to put in words what I like to say. So, you see how great our partnership works?! She will be gone for another week (in the South of France might I add) so just look at the pretty pictures and read really fast!

Note from Erika:  Stephanie is very modest.  I simply edit a few things. Regardless, it is still a great partnership :)
