Introduction…
Cupcakes are a phenomenon – they have been taking the world by storm and
nothing seems to stand in their way. Cupcakes not only look and taste delicious
but they’re making way for some new and exciting ideas. First came cake pops,
now welcome their super-cute big sister the cupcake push pop! As soon as I
discovered the premise of combining my passion for baking with my nostalgic,
child-of-the-90s memories, I was hooked. Layers of cake sandwiched together
with frosting, just like a regular cupcake but in a no-fuss container, what’s not to
love?
Push pops undeniably look impressive but they’re practical too. Easy to transport
and store, they’re perfect for kids of all ages and make the ideal gift for a special
occasion. Within this book I’ve included decorations and flavours that can be
used for a whole host of events and celebrations, from Christmas to weddings.
My aim is for these designs to provide you with a creative platform and inspire
you to devise your own push pop masterpieces.
I really hope you have as much fun with these adorable little treats as I did
thinking them up.
Keep sweet.
