Cute right? My friend asked for cupcakes, cake pops, and a smash cake. She wanted penguin cake pops, which provided a challenge since it is impossible to find black candy melts this time of year. Apparently, they are only available around halloween. I was able to get some guidance from a specialty baking shop and found some black candy coloring. This was my first attempt at coloring chocolate, but it turned out great! I was worried that the food coloring might change the flavor of the chocolate, and I think it did a little, but they still tasted great.
I made a couple extra pops, so I used one to top the smash cake, I just made him a little hat to match the invitation. The tree is a fondant "cone" with buttercream foliage.
The cupcakes are just a basic buttercream, with these cute little snowflake sprinkles I found. The large snowflake is royal icing. I'm really proud of my piping, it is really improving!
I made a few different snowflake shapes and because I couldn't decide which were my favorites, I decided to use them all. I think they turned out great!
Here's to Eva, I hope your party is really "cool!"
