Not Turkey Cake Pops

Turkey cake pops are all over the blogs, facebook and Instagram. I bought a bag of candy corn last year with the intention of making turkey cake pops for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving came and went and I didn’t have any turkey cake pops to present for dinner. This year I really wanted to use that bag of candy corn and make turkey pops. I scoured the web for cute images for inspiration.

Last night I got my supplies ready to make turkey pops.  I had the Oreo balls, and peanut butter candy melts ready.

I had the eyes.

I had the hearts.

I had the noses.

I had the feathers.

I had no patience.

I made one cake pop, and gave up. I thought of the other stuff I could be doing, like sitting on my couch watching Gossip Girl. So I decided to just dip the Oreos in the peanut butter candy melts and make Peanut Butter Oreo balls.

But ugh, they kind of looked like poo. I did rush through these but I wanted to make them pretty.  I put the melted candy melts in a piping bag, and using a #2 tip piped the peanut butter over the cake ball to disguise the messiness of it.


I topped it with a heart, and put it in a mini cupcake wrapper.  They are not turkey pops, but I loved how this came out.

I think this turkey feels the love.  You can turn something oogly, to something lovely.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Peppermint Oreo Pops!

I can't believe Christmas is just a few weeks away.  I've been thinking about the different kind of cake pops I wanted to make for Christmas since October, so when when I was at my local Trader Joe's and spotted Candy Cane Joe-Joe's I bought them right away!

Oreo pops are my favorite to make because it doesn't take up as much time as regular cake pops.  

I used my magic bullet to crush the candy canes, for the topping.  I wanted them a bit chunkier but I love how they look.

The candy canes I bought were from the Dollar Tree and they were more pink than red.

These are my new favorite pops in looks.

I may be biased but I prefer my Candy Cane Oreo pops over the Starbucks version :D

Happy 1st Birthday!
