Snowman Cake Pops

John Deere Cake Pops

These cake pops were for a John Deere themed birthday party.

 

I came up with this simple custom stand to go with what my clients were decorating with already.  When you are ordering cake pops for an event, it is really important to think about how you will display them as well.  The display is half of the initial WOW factor with cake pops!  Then they taste them and it is a TRIPLE WOW!

Super Bowl Snack Table

I had been working on a template for these little handmade paper sacks for another project.  

Then Super Bowl came along and I thought they would be the perfect combination of decoration for the table and function for snacks.  I also put pretzels in some, but didn't include them in the photo.  They are a little time consuming to make, but would be so cute for any snack buffet, for kids' birthdays or even to bring out at weddings for those who stay and dance all evening long.  They are about 4" tall and completely customizable.

I also made some chocolate chocolate cake pops in the shape of footballs and cupcakes with chocolate buttercream footballs on top.

Football is not my thing (at all), but if there are snacks and desserts involved, I am THERE!

Poker Party Dessert Table

I'm just getting around to posting photos from this amazing dessert table that I did for an amazing person's 90th birthday.  It really turned out great and everyone seemed to enjoy the goodies!

  I had a few major design elements to work on for this one, I redesigned the way I am doing my backgrounds, which should make them a little easier to move around from now on.  They are 8 feet long and can get really heavy!  I also designed the reusable cupcake stand to be adjustable and I able to decorate it with custom colors to match the event.  My husband and I were getting the kinks out of that right up until the last minute!

There are four different flavor combinations of cupcakes...and each flavor is identifiable by the "suit".  I piped the diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs out of royal icing.  I was concerned with the taste of those, because very red and very black frosting usually does not taste the best, but I tweaked my royal icing recipe, and these were actually good.

 

The cake pops were done in matching colors, of course!  Birthday Cake, Red Velvet, Pumpkin, and Snickerdoodle.

 I had lots of matching candy on this table as well.  There was red and black licorice, red and black gum balls, candy coated peanuts (Boston Baked Beans), wrapped cinnamon hard candy, mints, red raspberries and blackberries, and red Peanut M&M's.  I ate a lot of those raspberries while I was working on this table!  There are some great websites out there that list candy by color when you are trying to do a table like this. 

 I also made chocolate dipped pretzel sticks in two different colors.

 These truffles are Oreo Cookie flavored.  Looking so nice in their little rows!
 

Thank you to everyone for all of your compliments at the party!  The party was a big success and hopefully I'll get to do a 100th birthday in ten years!

It's time for Halloween Cake Truffles again!

I am making the same flavor/decorations as last year, because they were a big hit!  I love these boxes!  AND the truffle papers match....how cute is that?  The flavors in the assortment are....Birthday Cake, Mocha, Snickerdoodle, Pumpkin and Chocolate Brownie Mint.

I've got a limited supply of these Halloween boxes for those of you who are interested.  I am taking orders now, so if you are interested in ordering a dozen assorted Cake Truffles for Halloween, email me and get on the list!  They are $28 for a dozen wrapped up like you see above.

Here is another picture of how they are decorated......

If you want to order them in bulk for a party, if you order three dozen or more, they are $24/dozen.   Email me asap to get on my baking list.  I can only bake so many of these!  The official deadline is October 22, 2011 -- but, my schedule may fill up before then if I end up with some big party orders!

Sports Cake Pops

 

These awesome cake pops are a little time consuming to make, but they are so cute!

The footballs are Chocolate Chocolate flavor, the baseballs are Birthday Cake, and the basketballs are Peanut Butter Banana.  You can order them any flavor* that you like, but the Peanut Butter flavored chocolate is the perfect color for the basketballs!!

Prices for 2012 are $30 a dozen. 

*(We have a few flavors that are only available as Cake Truffles and NOT Cake Pops...Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Oreo Cookie, and Chocolate Brownie Mint).

Cake Pop Roses!

 I have a really great gift idea that would be perfect for Mother's Day!  How about one dozen or even two dozen Cake Pop Roses?!?!  I love how these turned out!  The top photo is what two dozen looks like.  The standard flavors that I use for these are RED = red velvet, HOT PINK = very berry, and LIGHT PINK = pink champagne.  Two dozen would have eight of each flavor and one dozen would have four of each flavor.

 

You can choose the green pot with brown crinkle paper OR the white pot with white crinkle paper.....whether you order one dozen or two.  If you would like to order, just email us!  Make sure that you order 48 hours in advance and since I am especially busy at holidays, the deadline for Mother's Day is Wednesday, May 4th for 2011.

Tower of Cake Pops

A tower of Jean Marie's Cake Pops is a really unique and fun way to display the goodies for your party, wedding, or event!  These were done for a retro birthday party, so the pink and green colors are a little wild....but they looked so amazing on their tower!

 

A Cake Pop Tower can be customized with a ribbon color that matches your event.  The tower holds three dozen cake pops.  We have a package that includes the four different flavors/designs of cake pops, tower, delivery, and set up.

Our website is STILL under construction, but it is coming soon.  

When it is done, you'll be able to find these on the Events page.

For now, you can email me at caketruffles@live.com

Happy 40th Birthday!

The custom cake truffles that I made for a 40th Birthday surprise party a few weeks ago turned out great!  They were a hit at the party and really looked great on display. There were three different flavors for the birthday girl: Birthday Cake, Ambrosia, and Oreo. 

My original idea was that it would be cute if the "chocolate" ones looked black, but I had to add so much black color to the chocolate to make them look black, that the taste was not good.  You know how bitter it tastes when you have really bright black or red frosting on a decorated cake?  Well same thing.  I am not willing to sacrifice taste for looks!  They still looked great though!

I

If anyone is interested in ordering custom truffles similar to this, the cost would work out like this....

8 dozen @ $24 per dozen, for custom colors is $192.

To add birthday candles is $1 per candle if I buy them or $.50 per candle if you supply them to me....so in this case, $40 for 40 candles.
So, the grand total would be $232 for 8 dozen Custom Cake Truffles.

Another question that I get a lot is...How many should I order?  This is hard for me to say, I think you know your crowd better.  Are they dessert eaters?  It is hard to stop at one, especially when you want to try different flavors.  But, there are some people out there with good self control (this is not me!).  They are a very rich and decadent desert and two per person is the maximum that you need to order, in my opinion.

For this party, there were 60 people, I figured 1.5 cake truffles per person because there was lots of food.  There were some left over, but that way the birthday girl got to take some home....Yea!

Halloween Cake Truffles!  I love these boxes!  AND the truffle papers match....how cute is that?  The flavors in the assortment are....Birthday Cake, Mocha, Snickerdoodle, Pumpkin and Chocolate Brownie Mint.

I've got a limited supply of these Halloween boxes for those of you who are interested.  I am taking orders now, so if you are interested in ordering a dozen (or two, or three) assorted Cake Truffles for Halloween, email me and get on the list!  They are $25 for a dozen wrapped up like you see above.

Here is another picture of how they are decorated......

These little balls of CAKERY goodness are delicious and cute too!

Amaretto Cake Truffles

Amaretto is one of my newest flavors.  So new, that these aren't on my menu cards.  I guess I am going to have to redesign my cards soon!

Amaretto Cake Truffles are made with a rich amaretto cake with an amaretto liqueur buttercream frosting that enhances their sweet, creamy, almond flavor.

If you get a chance, try one (or two) they are really delicious!

Amborsia Cake Truffles

Ambrosia is one of my newer flavors...so, those of you who have tasted or ordered my Cake Truffles in the past probably have not tried this one. 

I have to say, it is one of the best!  I am a coconut fan, so if you are too, you will love these.  They are made from a moist coconut cake with a glaze added in that has got orange, crushed pineapple, and bit of coconut rum.  SO GOOD!

Baby Shower Party Favors

I did these really cute boxes for an "It's a Boy!" baby shower recently....congratulations to the proud parents!  The cake truffles looked so great nestled in their little boxes!  The double stripes in two different blue colors really popped.  There are so many different types of individual boxes available, it is hard for me not to order them all in.  These were just plain white ones with a custom label on the front with a matching bow.  They are great for weddings too!

MENU CARD flavors

I have printed some business cards with my "menu" on the back.  This way, when you have an assortment tin, you can tell which flavors are inside.  Good idea, right?!?!

You know when you get a box of chocolates and you have to bite into it to see what is inside??  I hate that!  I want to know what is in there so I can pick which one I want.  So, that is what I have done with my cake truffles and cake pops.  Unless you order custom colors, or perhaps special decorations for a holiday, my flavors are always decorated the same way depending on what flavor it is inside.

Here is what it looks like....

Lemon Poppyseed Cake Truffles

I had to try several versions of this one to get it the way I wanted.  They are one of my favorites.  Real lemon and lemon zest makes them tangy and delicious!

Mocha Cake Truffles!

These Mocha Cake Truffles are a little buttery, and a little chocolaty, with a bit of coffee mixed in, they are REALLY GOOD!
