Did you see that Bakerella's book is now available for preorder??!! I can assure you that I am splurging on this one--cake pops are a big deal in this house. In fact, little Will sometimes looks at baked goods funny when they are not presented to him on a stick. And...did you see her recent post on cake pops shaped like ice cream cones? I immediately fell head over heels. And I knew they'd be the perfect treat to take to a summer party for a couple of super special birthday girls.
A few notes: you cannot make these too far in advance. Luckily, I suspected this and made them the day of the party. Good thing, too, because I found that the left over cones stored in the fridge went stale pretty fast. To make ahead, you could dip the "ice cream" portion a few days in advance. But I recommend waiting until the day of to assemble the cones.
Speaking of cones, I'm still pondering what on earth to do with all of these...
Also, I need to figure out a better way to display cake pops. Especially these ice cream ones. Bakerella had hers standing up, which I think really tricks you into thinking they are real ice cream cones. Much more so than my method of plopping them into a bowl...
though it's not as if they hang around too long...
Hope you treat yourself today!
