If you’ve been following my parties, one name you’ll see over and over is Amy of Scrumdiddlyumptious Bakery. I’m not sure that “bakery” tells the whole story, because Amy also is a talented felt artist. She put both those skills to work in this Woodland Fairy & Gnomes party she created for her daughter’s 7th birthday.

Sharing the Spotlight: Cake Pops by Jen

February 7, 2012

One day in late summer, I was on my way to Goodwill (of course) and found myself behind an SUV with a sign advertising cake pops. Since the business name was Cake Pops by Jen, I was actually able to remember it until I got back to my computer (although I did keep saying “.net,” “.net,” “.net” to myself).

I immediately booked Jennifer to create the cake pops for our UGA opening game day dessert table. Now, I’ve made cake pops before — OK, brownie pops, because they are easier. They were a hit, but they were not beautiful. They were all different sizes, the candy coating was uneven … fortunately, the kids on our block didn’t care. But, I knew that without a lot of practice, cake pops were not going to be part of my skill set.
