Today I'm taking a step away from fashion to discuss something else I'm passionate about. A few years ago, three to be exact, I found out that I enjoy making cake pops. It really came by chance that I began doing it. I was planning a friend's baby shower and I already knew that I wanted to have cake pops. I had recently been introduced to them because I was gifted some for my birthday the year before. I had never heard of them and found that my sweet tooth loved and craved the cute little lollipop looking treats! Well, when I found out the price of these cute treats, there was no way I was paying for them for only the few that I needed for the baby shower anyway. In steps my creativity. I always loved baking and wanted to pursue cake decorating for awhile. This was the chance to put my skills to work and did it work?.. YES! My first round were a hit and I surprised myself because I tapped into something that I never knew I had a passion for. I took a cake decorating class and quickly learned more decorating techniques. This now has become a passion which has led me to making other things; among them, the chocolate covered strawberries and other treats. This will be my showcase space for now when I make cake pops. I have had orders requested for events and I truly enjoy seeing others happy with what I've created. I have some other projects brewing that involve cake pops that I will soon share, and I will say.. it's going to be exciting! For anyone interested in placing an order for cake pops, please contact me via email at tammylb30@yahoo.com. Requests can be made for strawberries, chocolate lollipops, Oreo pops, choc covered pretzel rods, and mini desserts including chocolate mousse, strawberry cheesecake mousse, and banana pudding. Because I only have pics of select items from my phone the pictures may not be the best quality, but Im working on a website that will showcase everything. Thanks for the support!
