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.

Last year, I brined a turkey for the first time. Normally turkey is my least favorite part of Thanksgiving because it always ends up being a little dry. But after brining, I can say that turkey is back on the list of favorites. Although, sweet potato casserole will most likely have the permanent spot for first place.
Your love for cakepops is what got me started. I will never be as talented, but still have a fun time making them none the less. When you make them off the stick, meaning simply icing them and laying them flat on the counter or in a mini muffin cup, I would love to know how you get the smooth coat. I can’t seem to get the little holes created by my dipping stick to cover well after removing the dipping stick. I’ll search your blog for tips to see what I can find.
