That’s right.
Boo Hiss… in the sweetest way possible.
It’s Boo. The World’s Cutest Dog.
And hiss… it’s one Grumpy Cat.
Yeah, so this is what happens when cake pops and cute internet celebrity pets collide.
Adorable edible animals.
Did you know Boo and Grumpy Cat have their own books? Boo has almost 7.5 million Facebook fans, stuffed animals and calendars and Grumpy Cat even has a movie deal. Crazy.
And the three of us have a little something in common. We share the same publisher, Chronicle Books. I already had Boo’s book and when I found out Chronicle was publishing Grumpy Cat’s book, too – I was unexplainably excited – like I could stop by their offices or something and be able to cuddle that kitty. I thought a while back, it would be fun to surprise my friends at Chronicle and make these two cuties into cake pops and I finally got around to it last weekend. Hope they love them. By the way guys, if you’re reading… I totally want to be there for a Boo and Grumpy Cat playdate.
Boo is a little pomeranian with the cutest puppy haircut and bouncing personality.
Grumpy Cat (whose real name is Tardar Sauce) on the other hand is not so perky with a permanent grumpy expression. Let’s just say that if these two hung out together, Boo would totally be Grumpy Cat’s Nermal. And if you get that reference you’ll probably enjoy this and this, too.
Now… if you have no idea who these two are or what I am talking about, just google Boo the Dog and Grumpy Cat for a little pop culture and you’ll get it. Adorable overload.
But even if you don’t know anything about them … they still make the cutest little pet pops. Here’s how I decorated them…
Start with crumbled cake and frosting mixed together and rolled into balls.
You guys know how to do this by now, but if not… here’s a link to the full how-to instructions for basic cake pops.
Once the balls are rolled, chilled and ready to dip, you’ll need some candy coating.
I melted chocolate and vanilla and yellow until I achieved a shade I liked that could work as the base for both pops. These candy wafers are by Make ‘n Mold and you can find them at craft stores like Hobby Lobby and A.C. Moore. Start with white as the base and add a few brown wafers in and then some yellow as you melt them. Stop when the color feels right for you. I wish I had kept a ratio of these for you, but I didn’t keep track as I was melting.
When the coating is fluid, dip the pops in the coating in one motion – no swirling – and tap off any excess.
When dry, Reserve some of the melted light brown candy coating for later use and then add some more chocolate and yellow to the coating to make a darker shade. Dip Boo’s head in about half way and at a slight angle and let dry.
When dry, use a toothpick dipped in the reserved light brown coating and draw on Boo’s snout. Place a miniature pink confetti sprinkle in the coating while it’s still wet and then let dry. Then dot on more light brown coating to overlap the sprinkle. It will look like Boo is smiling with a tiny pink tongue sticking out.
Then use a toothpick dipped in the darker shade and dot/draw on Boo’s ears. Form the shape first and when it dries draw over the shape with more coating to make the ears look curved forward.
Finally, dot on some dark brown coating for a tiny nose. Then draw eyes with a black edible pen and dot then with a speck of white coating to finish the look.
Hey Boo.
Now for a frowning feline. It’s grumpy time.
First, use some of the chocolate wafers and cut triangles out of them for ears using a sharp (non-serrated) knife.
When you dip the pops, place ears in position while the coating is still wet.
When dry, use a toothpick and etch out the shape for Grumpy Cat’s face. I drew a cake poppable likeness of Grumpy cat on paper to use as a guide.
Attach eyes (Jumbo confetti sprinkles broken in half) in position with a little melted candy coating and then use a toothpick dipped in more dark coating to draw around eyes in the shape etched on the pop. This way the confetti sprinkle eyes will look recessed a bit with the chocolate overlapping.
Then draw in between with a toothpick dipped in melted white coating. Overlap the brown a tiny bit and let dry.
Dot on pink coating for a little nose and use some of the light brown coating on the ears. Finally draw on eyes and a lovable frown with a black edible ink pen and then dot the eyes with white coating.
A little tip to get sharper edges is when everything is done, use a toothpick to define lines and make sharper edges. You can remove unwanted candy coating pretty easily if you’re careful. You can also use the side of a toothpick to gently rub on the surface if you need to smooth out an area or on the edge of the ears to help make straighter edges. Fingertips can work great too.
Grumpy Cat may be frowning on the outside.
But Grumpy Cat is pretty sweet on the inside.
Boo is too of course. I couldn’t resist those cute little chocolate cheeks. Could you?
Here’s Boo’s Book, Grumpy Cat’s book and mine, too if you want to check them out.
You Are Ah-Mazing! I am dying to try boo.
1. Looks like these are nutfree. Can you confirm that?
2. Can I decorate these a day or two before the birthday?
Thank you again for your beautiful work.
Best,
Bahar

These cake pops just make me smile :) :) :)
I would love to have a TANGERINE Kitchen Aide!!
Last night I flubbed up 24 funfetti cupcakes by doctoring them too much and had to remake them. The flubs did not taste bad, just did not rise up enough for what I needed them for. I googled what to do with leftover cupcakes (like anyone really ever has them!) and up popped cake pops. I am sooo glad I do not have to give them to the birds and my granddaughter and I now have another project to do. Love this website!
It allways amazes me at the talent of people!! I hate to cook, but love to bake!! Just bought pop pans the other day going to give these ago for neighborhood kids.
Hi there,
We are going to make ghost cake pops for a Halloween playdate — this Friday. I was just wondering about substituting Cadbury Dream (real white chocolate) bars for the melting/baking chips. Have you used white chocolate as the coating on your cake pops before? Do you know if it will work?
Thanks!!!
These are just adorable,even grumpy cat.
I love the “cake pops, not impressed”! These are so cute!!
You are amazing! I will never pull that off!
My most sincere congratulations, stunning the Cake Pops, I work more delicate and perfect.
Greetings from Spain.
Great designs…. very cute..I like it.
AHHHH he is so cute! love the cake pops – you genius. !!

You are a genius. Unique. Adorable. Your ideas are stellar. I’m glad I found your blog.
“Boo would totally be Grumpy Cat’s Nermal.” Haha! Love.
YOU, my dear, are so freaking creative and talented that it’s not even funny. One day I WILL make cake pops with you! ;)
AWESOME!!!! They look so great. I love Boo and Grumpy Cat and your cake pops are soooooo cute! Love, love, love!

omg love these guys so much (grumpy cat is probably my spirit animal to be honest haha)– my 9 year old brother told me the other day that he’s saving up to buy two pomeranians (lol)– maybe I’ll just have to make him these instead!
LOVE THESE! Been trying cake pops off and on, but can’t EVER seem to get the candy coating smooth. But Ill give them a go anyhow. They’ll just be lumpy grumpy cat pops! LOL
tus manos son magicas gracias
great post thanks for sharing with me.
Wow! Simply amazing!
Awesome, but Grumpy Cat’s right ear has to be down, flatter, & off to the side to get that , “Seriously. You are a waste. Go die.”-look.
Boo — you are adorable — and rich! I, too have a super cute nine year old male Pom. But I never thought to market him! Oy. Anyway, Boo is actually cuter and your cake pops are as usual — amazing.
very very amazing!!
Love it:)

These. are. amazing.
They’re both cute (you’re so creative!), but Boo, definitely. There’s already too much grumpy in the world. :-)
Definitely a Boo lover! My daughter has an adorable Pom, Kermit, that looks just like Boo, so I’m kinda partial to Poms! (We joke around and call him “Kermit the dog here”!)
I am dying, these are too adorable!
These are so stinkin’ cute, and you are so gifted. Always love looking at your new designs. Cake Pops are the BEST!
HA Grumpy Cat is my guilty pleasure…I am so bad I even txt’d my friends the Grumpy Cat quotes just to cheer them up.
Amazing work as always Angie! Thank you for posting, I was getting worried about you!
