The book is now shipping. I’m nervous. And excited. And nervous. I really hope you guys like it.
That is if you decide to pick one up and flip through it. Or buy it. That would be cool, too.
To help promote it, my publisher asked me to do a little video. A video with motion and sound. Scary stuff.
I think they wanted a quick author bio type thing, but they said I could do what I wanted.
So I decided to take the opportunity to make a little cake pop how-to for you guys… an overview.
Just don’t look at me. K?
This is Micah. He came out and spent the day with me while I messed up about 4,000 takes. He was cool. And patient.
I think he may have even had fun.
For the record, this was much harder than I thought it would be. Looking straight into a camera when you’re the only one talking is tough stuff. This was much different than being on Martha. When I was on the show, I didn’t even see the cameras because I was so nervous and this time I was so nervous because I was staring straight into one.
I think this way is harder.
Luckily, Cupcake Julie was there to keep me focused. Actually, I was there. This is her kitchen.
Micah went home with lots of pops…
… In a pink box. So masculine.
But, I bet his wife appreciated it.
Okay… Okay. I’ve stalled long enough.
Want to watch the video?
Really?
Ok. Here it is.
Now, I’m going to hide.
Click here to watch the Bakerella Cake Pop Video on Amazon.
Note: Hand in the air. Side smile. I told you guys.
P.S. Is it weird that I wanted to buy a copy of my own book? Probably, but I’m still super excited. It should arrive tomorrow. Yippee!
And to clarify… my publisher sent me copies. I just wanted the thrill of ordering and receiving it myself. I’m sure I’ll be hitting up the bookstores for some, too!

I LOOVE CAKE POPS.
I love making cake pops.
I’m too excited to buy your book.
Bakerella you are a model for us all.
I was out shopping with my sister and cousin and we were going through different cookbooks and I happened upon the cake pops. I absolutely love it!! They are so cute and I have already made one batch for work and everyone is requesting their next batch. lol This is an absolute favorite of mine!!
Hello! I really adore your creations,Bakerella! All I can hear from my two daughters while browsing your site was wooowss…my youngest even said, Mom we have to find that book! But, sadly, I don’t think that your book is available in our country. I wonder if there would be any chance for me to purchase it, I’m from Philippines. Thanks and more power to you!
I think your video was adorable! I have your book and can’t make anything look as good as you can…you’re amazing, Bakerella!!
Blessings to you…
LOVE THE BOOK! I checked it out from the library, but I’m thinking I need a copy of my own to keep. Made my first cake balls and shared them at work a couple months ago. HUGE HIT! My popcorn bags looked pretty pathetic, but everyone liked eating them anyway!
i think them cake pops are cool

I absolutely love this book. I am making the robots for my sons birthday treat at school. Can’t wait to finish them. I am waiting for another book to come out–the recipe with the oreos.
I’m so happy I could buy it here in Brazil. :)
I’m in love for this book!!
Congratulations!!!
Wow!
I saw your book at target yesterday and i was amazed! I can tell you put tons of hard work into that extraordinary book. You inspire me! I am doing a project on cake pops (and giving you lots of credit)! So far I have only made two batches but I’m still in love with them! And I love your owl cake pops! Owls are made favorite animal, and random idea, but my sister loves giraffes and we were looking through your book yesterday and she couldn’t find a giraffe. She was wondering if you could make one in your spare time :)
Thanks a bunch for your inspiration!
Even though I’m in Bangkok, Thailand, I’ve found your book in the bookstore.
I love it, and I’ve started my cake pops (without stick though). ^_^
Thanks for the inspiration.
Gday from Oz! Your book has hit our shores and my sister bought me a copy for my birthday, I squealed with delight!
Bestest ever!
I LOVE THIS! I am SO posting your cake pops on my webiste!
I actually found out about you and your cake pops on amazon and have been a fan ever since. Keep up the good work!
I was shopping today and saw your book and I had to have it!! I can’t wait to make some for my kids and my hubby’s office!!
I stumbled across it randomly at Costco and was instantly attracted. As soon as I saw the bride&groom cake pops I was like “I am not leaving here without this book.” Can’t WAIT to try making cake pops! Thank you for all your hard work on providing us with resources for where to buy various supplies, very much appreciated!
I was absolutely elated to see your book on the shelves at work! I instantly went onto a supply shopping frenzy. Thanks for all you do!
We sell your book at my work/store, Z Gallerie, and I was sooo excited the minute I saw it and all the ideas! I bought it right away and I’m making my first batch of cake balls and cupcake pops tomorrow. I can’t wait! I look forward to seeing more ideas on your website.
Sooo amazing,
my dear friend Lena delighted me with your book for my birthday (What a friend!) She ordered it from the US and I am definitely sure that this are the first (and the only) two books in Slovenia at the moment (she bought one for herself too;) Hope she reads this, thanks girl – you are the best girlfriend and thank you Bakerella – for your creativity and sense for SuperCute! ***
I bought it too at a local bookstore! It looks just too sweet to pass up… =D looking forward to try some recipes! Thank you for this lovely book!

Arrived home from your book signing @ William Sonoma, having scanned through the book front to back…LOVE it!
It was great to meet you, and thanks for chatting for a few moments. Will make it a point to take your class next time you’re in the area! And if, by chance, those pictures didn’t break your camera, would you send me copies, please? Thanks again so much!

You did a wonderful job on the video! I make cake pops for all of my daughter’s school functions and people absolutely love them. Thanks for the inspiration and I can’t wait to get the book (I actually placed it on hold and have to go pick it up today!).
I just encountered your FANTASTIC site and I am overwelmed with joy that you will be visiting NY November 14th!! I am definitely ordering your book…thank you for being such an inspirtation!! :o) Can’t wait to start making the cake pops!!!
hey…so excited for your book! my kids and i have made so many of your creative pops…was wondering in this photo shoot the serving tray for the pops…what is it and where is it from? i need one!! i entertain all the time and am always looking for something that large. thanks, alexis
I received my book a couple weeks ago and it really is remarkable. I am not a reader at all and I have read this book twice already (well, the 2nd time I just skimmed all the tips ‘n tricks and do’s/dont’s). You write like you talk and that makes it easy (and friendly) to follow. AND… its now my three year old’s favorite book. He flips through it page by page, over and over, “reindeer”, “robot”, “chickies, tweet tweet”, etc. Three of my friends have also ran out and bought it since I told them how awesome it was!
WOOT!! Got the book yesterday in the mail!! They are sooooooo cute!!! Daughter saw book and freaked and of course wants to make them lol:) Good Job Bakerella!!!
Hi Bakerella, I bought 2 today. Can’t wait. So much fun!
Bought the book! LOVE IT! In the process of making my first cake pops now… Thanks very much, Bakerella!
…ya tengo mi libro!…esta excelente, gracias por compartir tus ideas……saludos desde Puerto Rico!
I just got the last copy that my Borders had in stock. The girl in line in front of me had the 2nd to last copy, and I asked her if she followed your blog, she said no. I made sure to tell her you must, must, must! I love, love love it! I can’t wait to get started!
Congratulations on the book. I can’t wait to get… I am very excited!!! I will see you at the book sign in ATL on October 23rd.
It will be nice to meet you… ;)
Congrat’s bakerella your awesome!!! wish you the best!!!
Can’t wait to buy your book! I have to ask you where you got the stand for your cakepops that was in video. It’s a must have!
Bought the book the next day!!!Love it….Kids are so excited.:)
Bought it and waiting for it to come in the mail! Then I will be hiding it away from my daughter or I’ll be making pops everyday LOL:)
I received your book!! It’s great!! It had to come all the way to The Netherlands, so it took some extra time, but I love it! It came just in time, because I wanted to make something special for a friend’s birthday, so now I’m making the owl cake pops!
Thanks so much :D
Bakerella! It seems as though your book is not showing up under “Cupcake Books” in the Shop section of your site. You should correct that! :)
WoW Angie……what a truly delightful, gorgeous book you have created!
You have inspired many……CONGRATULATIONS to you……!!!
I just came home to find your Cake Pops book sitting on my door step. I had been planning a million and one other things to do today when I got home from work, but getting your book made me forget them all. I am ecstatic! It’s here! It’s finally here! And it is better than I could have ever possibly imagined.
The video was great! I actually got some great tips, which I needed, because my last attempt didn’t come out nearly as well :) I can’t wait to get the book!
I got my book and I’ve already made the cupcake cake pops!! So easy and completely adorable! Thank you so much!!!
I’m excited to get my book next month!!
Congrats!!! I just recieved my book in the mail over the weekend but did not get a chance to put it to use yet. =( I CANNOT wait to try some of those recipes out!! My sister is getting married in December and I am throwing her a bridal shower in November so you know what that means>???…. LOL I will be trying my hands at the bride and groom cake pops!! Can’t wait!! Thank you soooo much!!! You are such an inspiration!!!
XOXO,
Melynda
I am so happy – I just pre ordered your book from Amazon UK
where can we get some little cutters like the one’s you found?
:) love your ideas! you ROCK!
I am looking forward to your book, but I’m sorry that they don’t seem to be sending you to the DC area for your signing tour anywhere.
Wouldn’t you just love to come to Santa Barbara on Oct. 13th?:)
I work at an all girl, Catholic high school. We recently formed a “Baking Club”. I thought maybe they would have a few girls show up….133 came to the first meeting! I have purchased your book and am going to purchase another for them to give away at their next meeting!
You inspire me to do fun stuff. I have kids in Catholic school and us Catholics love a good bake sale! The girls here have one at least twice a month to raise money for something. Your cake pops will be huge for the Baking Club to “jazz” up their table.
They will tour a local culinary college, a local bakery as well as have guest speakers, bake sales and bake Treats for the Troops.
YOU ROCK!
great job missy!!! you’re such a cutie… what were you worried about?? :o) can’t wait to check out your book!!! i’m going to take a trip up to the bay area for your walnut creek signing!! looking forward to meeting you!
I got my book in the mail yesterday. So excited to start making more cake pops!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Bakerella!
Just got my copy in the mail. LOVIN IT!!! It is soo nice in soo many ways. The photos are fabulous. I love the colors you picked. The spiral binding is perfect. And I haven’t even said anything about all of your demos and instructions. Seriously, it’s perfect. I was thoroughly delighted. I’m going to pick up a few more for gifts.
Great Job!

God give me strength because I might just die from joy!
Oh and it came 2 days before my B-Day!
