Have you guys started getting ready for the holidays yet? For the last few years, I’ve waited until the last minute, but this year I’m trying to get ahead of the game and wrap some gifts that I already know I’ll be giving.
My Holidays book is a good way to start. And I wanted to wrap them in a cute, quick and totally customizable way. So I’m working with Zazzle.com to create fun, custom cards and packaging. You can upload your own photographs or artwork to their site to make endless types of unique gifts from shirts and phone cases to lunch boxes and lamps. Lots of stuff.
I stayed with paper products though and made something special for the holidays. I used some of my photographs from the book to create illustrated versions of my cake pops, so the whole gift could be one cute coordinating package.
I started with cards, but soon stumbled onto stamps!
Ack! Have you ever made your own stamps? This is such a cool extra touch that makes mailing something more special.
The only problem is they are so cute I don’t know if I can stand to send them away. I think I’m going to just have to order more to keep for myself.
I also made these sweet stickers in pink and green… because, as usual I couldn’t decide on just one color to stick with.
But let me show you my favorite new thing to make.
Wrapping Paper!!!!
Yes, rolled wrapping paper. You can get so creative with this for special occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, the holidays, of course. I can’t wait to make more.
Okay, let’s get wrapping!
Oh yeah, I’m popping a few sticks inside the box with my book, so I relabeled them to match the packaging.
Wrap in tissue, stuff with some coordinating paper filler and then seal with a sticker.
Add a coordinating bow and it’s wrapped and ready!
Yay! One present down.
And here’s a few more. Pink wrapping paper for these adorable little Frosty Friends Mini Kits.
I’m thinking stocking stuffers.
Now, who should I send some to?
I thought I’d give away three gift sets if you’d want to get ahead of the game this holiday too and let me wrap a present for you.
Enter for a chance to win one of three (3) Cake Pops Gift Sets that includes a signed Cake Pops Holidays Book with lollipop sticks and a Frosty Friends Mini Kit all wrapped in cute custom paper.

Love them both! Green is my oldest daughter’s favorite color and pink is the younger ones. Too hard to pick.
I would love to design blue using my Hanukkah dreidel cake pops.
I would definitely love wrapping green, I think it’s because it reminds me of the Grinch ;p
I love the green!
That is the cutest thing!!! So fun! I would be thrilled with either color! Thanks!
Pink, for shizzle.
Green! Precious
Love the green paper. Hope I win!
I like the pink one :)

yes to green!
Pink!
I like both pink and green. But green is my favorite color!
Both are great but the pink paper to speaking to me!
I would love the green wrap for my present please! But they are both very cute and unique! If I could design wrapping paper it would be dessert related for sure! Maybe a mix of gingerbread men and woman, peppermint twist cookies and whipped shortbreads with sprinkles! :0)
With two little girls in the house we already have a lot of pink, so I choose GREEN!
AHHH!! So cute! I love both colors so much! I would be happy getting either one! Thank you Bakerella!
GREEN!!!!!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way you wrap. You should give away a group wrapping lesson.
The green is so fresh! This would look beautiful under the tree!
My college colors were pink and green so it’s a tough choice but PINK all the way! Nothing like going full girly on gifts even if they’re meant for men!
This is so cute! I love the pink set.

Hi Hon,
I love both the green and the pink wrappings so I`m going to leave it up to you. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
The type of wrapping paper that I would like to make would be covered with the beautiful dolls that are createded by the fabulously talented Paul Pham. They are 16″ fashion dolls and are some of the most beautiful dolls that have been created. Thanks again for this opportunity.
Sincerely,
David Cook

Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes ( and your fabulous sense of humour ) Your blog is the first one i come to when trying new stuff. They always turns out, so a BIG thanks ! Have a wonderful Christmas and a awesome new year.
Cheers, Lisa

I would love the green wrapped presents! Love all the cute things you have made. Thank you for sharing with us.
Pink. Would be the cutest present under my tree. And it would be fun to make wrapping paper with my kids pictures to wrap the grandparents presents.
They’re both adorable, so it’s hard to choose. I’m going to go with pink because it looks like a sweet itself 0: !
Gotta go with green!
pink is my fave color. however, i see green being more versatile. BUTTTTTT pink is my fave color. so…… PINK!!!!!!

I love your website
Pink or green! I love them!
I love the green!
So Cute!!! I LOVE the pink!!
I can’t decide – last year I tried to make star wars themed gift-wrappings, r2d2, c3po, leia, anakin,… and chewbacca. Everyone loved the furry packages, however it was a pain in the ass to wrap a box in it. I’d love to find a super easy furry way of giftwrapping..
Love them both. I’d go with green though!
Both are so sweet!! However I’m leaning towards the pink!
Green is my favorite color and I think fits so well with the season ! :)
These are so cute! I’m a pink kind of girl, but I think I could use the green for more people :D
