Valentine's Cake Pop Bouquet Cone Tutorial
THIS IS A DIGITAL ITEM (NOT ACTUAL CAKE POPS)
This is a step-by-step video tutorial demonstrating how to make the Valentine's cake pop bouquet cone (with penguin cake pop) as shown in the photos. I spent many many hours troubleshooting and problem-solving to get the right combo of cake pops (and pretzel rods), in the right sized cone, in the right sized box. In this tutorial, I'm sharing everything I've learned so that you can learn how to recreate the same boxed set in about 25 minutes...instead of several days ;)
This tutorial is best for someone who has made cake pops or cake balls before. This is not an "Intro to Cake Pops" tutorial. Some cake pop "basics" will be covered in this video, but those skills are not the primary content.
In this tutorial, you'll learn:
*How to reproduce the ice cream cone bouquet shown in the photos
*How to hand-sculpt a cake ball into a penguin and heart shape
*Tips for preventing or fixing common mistakes made when making cake pops
*How to make your own piping bag with parchment paper
*How to pipe with melted chocolate (candy melts)
*How to prevent lollipop sticks from "yellowing" over time
*Tips for arranging your bouquet and packaging it for gifting or sale
*Where to purchase all the needed supplies (including purchase links for just about everything!)
Along with the video download, you will receive a supply list with hyperlinks to purchase needed supplies. Please reach out if the links don't work.
PLEASE be aware that the supply list was created with a bakery business owner (including home-based bakery-owners) in mind. I'm a home-based bakery owner myself, so that is the perspective from which I designed the supply list. If you are a hobby baker, hoping to recreate just one or two boxes (versus 20+ boxes, as a baker might offer for Valentine's Day), you may find the cost of "bulk" supplies prohibitive.
This tutorial is still useful for teaching sculpting techniques, as well as the tips & tricks listed above. However, some users have been disappointed that the links provided in the supply list (the same links I used to purchase my own supplies) are for bulk-purchasing, not for individual or small quantities. Please be mindful of that when considering an investment in this tutorial.
