There’s something adorable in these boxes.
Something happy for the holidays.
and beary cute.
They are handmade custom cake pop ornaments that Amy Miller Designs created for me.
And there are five of them. So fun and festive!
They are all based on the cake pop designs from the Holidays book.
And I hope they make you smile!
And yay, you can totally hang these cuties on your tree.
But the best part is they’ll stay sweet. No spoiling.
When Amy first surprised me with some cupcake pop ornaments, I liked them so much I ordered a bunch without the hanger so I could keep them on display all year long. Then last year I met Amy at my Phoenix Book signing and she surprised me yet again with these Muppet Cake Pops to match the real ones I made. I was blown away. So, I thought it would be fun to see what she could do with some designs from the book. Amy came up with these cute cake pop ornaments and I’m completely in love. So I bought a few extra sets to share with you guys. Amy is awesome. When she shipped them to me, my mouth dropped when I saw how she packaged them. Completely unexpected but I love the little snowy scene and the box makes a great way to store them and keep them safe when they’re not on display. Perfect for gifting. I can hardly part with them they are so cute. But I will for you guys.
