Cake Pops Holidays Ornaments and a Giveaway

Happy Holidays

There’s something adorable in these boxes.

Something happy for the holidays.

Polar Bear Cake Pop Ornament

and beary cute.

Cake Pops Ornaments

They are handmade custom cake pop ornaments that Amy Miller Designs created for me.

Cake Pops Holidays Ornaments

And there are five of them. So fun and festive!

Cake Pops Holidays

They are all based on the cake pop designs from the Holidays book.

Gingerbread Cake Pop Ornament

And I hope they make you smile!

Peppermint Cake Pop Ornament

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.

Final Book Signings 

Just a reminder – The NEW YORK book signing that was cancelled in November in Garden City due to Sandy is rescheduled for this Thursday at 12:00 pm at the Williams-Sonoma in Huntington Station.

And on Friday – BOSTON will be the very last book signing stop this year. I’ll be at the Burlington Barnes & Noble at 7 pm. I’ve never been to Boston and can’t wait.

Here are the details for the last two signings. Hope you can make it.

New York & Boston Book Signings

Unfortunately, the Paramus, NJ signing at Chef Central that was cancelled due to Superstorm Sandy wasn’t able to be rescheduled before the holidays. I’m so sorry for those of you who  had wanted to attend.

  22. These are so cute I could eat them! They look sooo real.
    I would love to display these and make some holiday pops from the holiday book. Happy Holidays!!

  23. I just bought a Belgian waffle maker for my son, who just got his own apartment and loves to make breakfast for his friend (even for dinner!). He’ll be the hit of the block when he uses cinnamon rolls in there to make the best and easiest waffles ever!

  24. The last present I made was a birthday cake for my son’s 3rd birthday. It was a three-tiered cake, covered in black fondant, and topped with dozens of tiny Star Wars figurines.

  34. The last gift I purchased was a sweater for my older sister. I had been looking a sweater at the store my sister works at. I took a picture to send and ask her opinion, and she called me and told me to definitely buy it, and that it was one of her favorites that she had always wanted. I knew that meant she hadn’t bought it because of some money issues she has been having, so I found the one in her size, bought it, and surprised her with it as a “just because” gift. She almost cried and said I shouldn’t have, but I told her that I thought she needed something to brighten her day. I have never been happier giving my sister something. She has always been there for me and was notorious for buying me “pick me up” gifts, and now I finally was able to get her one!
