I had the most wonderful, incredible, emotional and unforgettable few days at the first-ever international cake pop conference in Philadelphia this weekend hosted by KCBakes. I was the keynote speaker and shared my story of creating cake pops back in 2008. It was the most humbling experience talking to so many people whose lives have been touched by cake pops. From simply inspiring creativity in the kitchen to completely changing the way people make a living through home businesses and large scale bakeries, pop products, boxes, books and more – Cake Pops are so much more than just a little ball of cake on a stick.
Here are some of my pics from the weekend – view them individually on Facebook.
Now … since I was away from the kitchen this past weekend, I didn’t have a chance to bake anything fun for you today. So I thought I’d continue the cake pop love and give away something here on the blog that I also gave away at the conference.

Every year since my son was 9 or 10 he has made a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. The years he couldn’t because he was serving in the Navy I did but it was never quite right. I now know the secret! I knew he used a gram cracker crust but I didn’t know he used condensed milk instead of evaporated to get the delicious pie. I am so glad he shared his little secret as I never liked pumpkin pie till he made it for me. Thanks Scottie!
