Gum Paste Flowers

One of the many things that sets Natalie’s Cake Pops apart from the other Cake Pop makers is my adorable edible flowers! The flowers are made of Gum Paste. Gum Paste is a sugar based material that I make by hand. It starts out the consistency of clay, but it dries quickly, so you need to work relatively fast as you use it.

I dye the Gum Paste a variety of colors. These sweet little flowers are a perfect addition to a wedding, birthday party, baby shower, etc.  I make my custom flowers using a special technique and they are truly one-of-a-kind!

See the possibilities...

  Add a beautiful Gum Paste flower to a Cake Pop and it becomes a true master piece!

 

Perfect on a Fondant Cake too!!!

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!!!
