March Marble Madness

Not only Basketball involves Madness in March, but Natalie’s Cake Pops have gone MAD. Mad-Awesome, that is!!!


I have been having way too much fun creating these Marbled Cake Pops.  Making them marbled is such an elegant way to embellish these playful Pops and make them perfect for any occasion. Marbling allows you to custom make Cake Pops in any color scheme. Also, guaranteeing that whatever colors you pick will always produce beautiful Cake Pops.


Marbled Cake Pops would be a perfect choice for a Bride and Groom looking for the ideal Party Favors! They can use their wedding colors and wow their guests!


Marbled Cake Pops would be a perfect fit in any of the 3 style Cake Pop Bouquets I offer.  Also, they are great for baby showers, birthday parties, anniversaries, corporate gifts, holidays, bridal showers, and so much more!


Enjoy the March Marble Madness!

Cupcakes be Warned - Cake Pops are Taking Over!!!


Cake Pops are the next cupcake. Cupcakes are no longer the item that you sell for $.25 at your child’s elementary bake sale. You now purchase them for $3 to $5 as something fancy and hip. I believe that Cake Pops will be just as big, if not bigger, than the cupcake fad. I am not the only one that feels this way, recently in the Marriott School of Business Magazine, an article titled, Tempting Trends said, “Cupcakes be warned: your days as a top trend may be numbered.”

While the recipe is rumored to have originated in the South, these amalgams of cake, frosting, and chocolate are quickly rolling their way across the county. Cupcakes be warned: your days as a top trend may be numbered.

Tip: Put your willpower on alert—these little babies are 124 calories a pop and hard to resist.

So prepare now for your children to want Cake Pops for their birthdays. You will see them in magazines, books, on-line, at the office, and at all the parties you go to!  They are the perfect year round treat and they are so so so yummy!

"You're turning violet, Violet!"

Nothing says yummy like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory! However, one thing Mr. Wonka did not have was Cake Pops! Too bad, so close to perfection!

Today I am sticking with the Pastel theme and featuring VIOLET! This spring color is a favorite and looks even better on a Cake Pop!

These Cake Pops are made of delicious yellow cake with vanilla frosting. They are hand dipped in white chocolate and violet chocolate melts, then sprinkled with Easter Nonpareils & white Nonpareils. The Cup Cakes are topped with a tasty Sixlets!

I am currently taking Easter orders: Easter Egg Cake Pops, Easter Cup Cake Bites, Easter Bouquets, Pastel Cake Pops & so much more!

Spring Fever

Welcoming spring with opened arms. All four seasons are wonderful, but there is nothing like beautiful sunny spring days after a long and cold winter. So let us celebrate by packing up our wool sweaters, thick gloves, and knit caps, by bringing out the pastels colors.

There is no better way to ring in the spring than with a bundle full of CAKE POPS that are all decked out in these warm colors! Yellow, light green, violet, soft pink and baby blue all look their best wrapped around a ball of cake.

So place your orders today and send Cake Pops to someone extra special this spring.

This particular Cake Pop Bouquet went to a sweet lady for her 41st birthday. She was so thrilled to receive it. She kept staring at it and saying she was going to enjoy one before dinner, even if it ruined her appetite. Her favorite color is yellow, so that is what the sender asked me to keep in mind. These Cake Pops are made of white cake dipped in milk chocolate and yellow chocolates which are a vanilla flavor. I handmade the gum paste flowers, which are also edible.
People love these as much,
if not more than,
a bouquet of fresh flowers!
These delicious handmade Cake Pops come in a variety of shapes, flavors, and colors. Shipping and delivery is available.

Happy Birthday

This weekend I did a birthday party for an adorable 2 year old boy. His favorite thing is cars, trucks, or anything with wheels, so that obviously was the theme. I made a delicious Fondant two tiered birthday cake. The top tier was yellow cake with a lemon butter cream filling and the bottom tier was chocolate was a vanilla butter cream filling. Everyone loved it! I handmade the fondant, the road, the road signs, his name, and the polka dot boarder.

However, the party would not be complete without CAKE POPS! They followed the same car theme. The colors were blue, brown, and orange. Inside was yellow and chocolate cake. It is so fun choosing the perfect sprinkles and embellishing the top with a little car or stop sign. The toppers I did not make. I picked them up at a local craft store.

With a perfect cake and Cake Pops, you cannot go wrong! I decorated the rest of the table with pails full of candy, Goldfish crackers (what 2 year old doesn’t like gold fish?), and a 3 layered stand with Cake Bites! TOO cute!!!

Welcome to Natalie's Cake Pops


WELCOME! I’m Natalie and I am very excited to introduce you all to one of my many passions. I love cooking, baking, eating, and feeding others! So cake decorating and making Cake Pops is one of my favorite pastimes. I am a mother of two very darling little boys, and I have been happily married to my sweetheart for nearly 4 years. Being a stay-at-home mother has led me to discover my love for making tasty foods that are also very beautiful. ENJOY!!!
