I don't know about you, but 4th of July is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the barbecues, the parades, rodeos, fireworks... Ok, so I just love it all! I suppose that the most joy that I get out of the 4th of July is the community involvement and that everyone seems to be in the best of moods. Smiles on everyone's faces and a reason to forget about all the struggles in life and feel gratitude for all that we have. Yes, I do believe that the fourth of July is my favorite.
These cake pops are made of oreo truffle and red velvet. I had a lot of fun making these! They are very simple in design but definitely have a statement. A few of the blue cake pops were rolled in blue sugar sprinkles to add a little bit of depth to the display. (I only wish you could see a 3D view of the picture because it looked really great) The stars I made from using a flower cookie cutter and manipulated the shape of it into a star. You definitely want the "dough" to be right to make sure it doesn't fall apart while making the points on the star. The consistency of the dough and how cold it is makes a difference.
I used a small mason jar for displaying the cake pops. I love the vintage look of it. Inside the jar is cane sugar. The background for this pic happens to be my fireplace mantle. As you can tell, I like the vintage look. I found that cute little teapot at a thrift store, it's about 60 years old! (According to a person at the thrift store...I will take it for what it's worth :))
