In our final Mother’s Day idea for 2014, we are working on Flower Pot Cake Pops!!  Yes, in the video introduction I accidentally say “cupcakes”, so don’t be confused!  They’re cake pops!!  All I can say is, “Oops.”  Forgive me.

What I like about these cake pops is that they are bright and cheery, which is perfect for any spring time celebration, and definitely perfect for a wonderful Mom! You can make the pots any colour that you want, and for mine, I chose to use the new Peanut Butter melting wafers from Merckens.  I had previously seen them at Bulk Barn (where I get many of my supplies) and thought that they would be a good colour for these flower pots.  The wafers melted perfectly, and they also tasted great!  Just like peanut butter chips.

I love being able to incorporate parts of previous projects in new ideas, such as using the mini royal icing daisies that I made a couple of weeks ago with cupcakes (link below in the ingredients), as a topper to these cake pops.  I always seem to end up with extra flowers whenever I make them, which is a good thing in case of breakage, so when I was planning on what type of flowers to use for these cake pops, the daisies literally fell out of storage, saying “Pick us! Pick us!”

This is a pretty straight forward cake pop tutorial, but as always, if you have any questions, just let me know in the comments!
