I’m sharing these sweet stuffed stockings from my book, Cake Pops Holidays with you guys today. (Plus, there’s a holiday giveaway at the end, too!)
These stockings are one of my favorite designs in the book and they’re actually easier to decorate than the look.
You start out by shaping the crumbled cake and frosting into thick socks – the stockings – and then you dip them in melted candy coating.
You can coat the stockings with any color candy wafers that you like, but I went with dark pink, green, and light blue. Still fun and festive without being straight up red and green. After they dry, dip them in melted white coating for the cuffs and then you can start bringing them to life with random sprinkles and decorations.
Or you could leave them toyless, but they’ll be way happier stuffed with toys inside.
Plus, that’s the most fun for me. Playing and finding fun candies to decorate with.
These are a few of the shapes I used. Candy canes, gingerbread men, candy snaps … plus, my can’t live without sprinkle – white sugar crystals.
But there are tons of sprinkles that would work. You just need to find simple shapes since the stockings are so small.
Here’s the full how-to from my book.

I would love this as it would help me and my daughter make the cake pops for the boys at a near by orphanage. We are making a big basket and platter of baked goods for these boys and since I am cake pop challenged, I don’t know what it is but I can’t get them to stay on the sticks, but this would also be excellent for my daughter who loves to help me bake but also great for her fine motor skills.

A few years ago I received a recipe for what was apparently a cookie that my grandmother used to make. Catch was that I’d never had them until 2yrs ago. I guess she stopped making them when I was very small for whatever reason. They’re utterly delish (basically a meringue with walnuts in it) and I’m looking forward to having a dry day around here to make them.

As for my favorite holiday item I’m looking forward to almond crescent shapes, growing up we called them bone cookies.
Cookies with my daughter… whatever kind we choose each year. We typically throw an “open house/cookie party” each year for friends and acquaintances to stop by anytime and stay 20 minutes or all day. It’s fun and a good way to see people without having to set up time for lunch/dinner and drinks.
