Christmas Cake Pops

76shares
Jump to Recipe -

Cake Pops puts the fun in cake!! They’re the perfect little sweet treat that you eat right off the stick! They’re perfect for kids, but I’m here to tell you that adults love them too! Be sure to make some Christmas Cake Pops to set out with your Christmas desserts this year!

Christmas Cake Pops

I really owe any cake pop skills that I have to Toni at Make Bake Celebrate.  She has skills like I’ve never seen before. If you want to be inspired, head on over to her site! I wish I had half her talent.

Cake Pop making isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s definitely easier to make a cake, frost it, and sprinkle on some sprinkles. But really, would that be as fun as these Christmas Cake Pops? I don’t think so.

Christmas Cake Pops

I used a package cake mix and homemade buttercream frosting for my cake pops. For full detailed instructions on Cake Pop making, I urge you to head over to Toni’s site. She shows you the step by step process and talks about types of chocolate to use and shares her tips and tricks with you.

And you can certainly bet that my little helper enjoyed her cake pop (or two or three)!!

Christmas Cake PopsHere’s the buttercream recipe I used, and yes, it came from Make Bake Celebrate. I’m sharing her basic recipe, but she talks about the perfect consistency on her site and also shares her tips and favorite brands with you. Cake Pops put the fun in cake! Loved by both kids and adults, what's not to love about a couple of bites of cake, dipped in chocolate, and rolled in your favorite sprinkles? Cake pops | Christmas | holiday baking |

Although we haven’t had many friends (or family) enter our home this year, I always love my entry to feel warm and inviting. This table is directly opposite the front door. I switch out very simple decor seasonally and you can  almost always find a candy dish. Not shown (to the right of the table) is my entry Christmas tree! I put up five trees this year. 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Fun story, a year or so ago, one of my great nephews, filled up a little snack bowl and placed it on the table by their front door. His mom asked what he was doing, and he said, “I want treats for our friends like Nana Ne has at her house.” Melt my heart! @livingmywholelife you have sweet son!

I think appetizer parties are my favorite party to host! Last year we hosted our work Christmas party at our home and I made a very large Charcuterie tray! It was a huge hit! I look forward to being able to host parties again next year and serving up another big tray! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
I’m always looking for more yummy appetizer ideas. What’s your favorite? 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄#joyineveryseason ...

Rocky Road! Have you ever made this delicious treat? It’s a tradition in our family and I can’t imagine it being Christmas without it! It’s so simple to make and makes a deliciously sweet gift for friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family. Check out my recipe (the recipe link is in my profile). 
💚❤️💚❤️💚
I always love coming up with cute ways to wrap it! Each year is a little different but equally as sweet!

A little bit salty and a whole lot of sweet, these Potato Chip Cookies are melt in your mouth delicious! And did you know that calories don’t count in December? J/k, but don’t you wish you could indulge on all the goodies guilt free? These are definitely worth the extra calories at least once a year! Find the recipe link in my profile.

Friends, can you believe that Christmas is in 15 days? I always feel, that no matter how organized I start the season, I’m scurrying the last couple of weeks to get it all done. I’ve given myself a deadline (of this Sunday), to finish all my wrapping and to get my cards (all 250 of them) in the mail. I think I can, I think I can! Then next week I can enjoy some baking and meal planning for when my family is home for Christmas! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
This is always my afternoon coffee view! I love it and today my coffee mug really reminded me that even though 2020 has been a challenging year, we are truly blessed! 
🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
How are you all doing? I hope you can all find the JOY in even the smallest things! For me it can be as simple as crossing one thing off my list and sitting in my happy spot enjoying my coffee with the view of my tree!

Don’t you just love a Cake Pop? It’s the perfect fun treat for the little ones and since it’s just a bite or two, it’s a guilt free treat for adults. I love baking with the grandkids, and can’t wait to make these again this year! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Hi friends! 
Here’s a big question for you? Do you serve a green salad with your Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner? 
❤️🥗🦃🥗❤️
I did not grow up with green salads at Thanksgiving, but years ago I added this Blackberry Spinach Salad to my menu and now I can’t imagine the holidays without it! Besides being delicious, it’s is so festive!!! The recipe link is in my profile.

It’s also Saturday, which means it’s time to see what my friends are sharing!

I rarely share my home, unless it’s a dining room tablescape or something I’ve cooked, but this morning when I walked into the kitchen, I was immediately filled with joy!! The house is clean (mostly) and the Christmas decorating is nearly done. With all the heaviness going on with tighter Covid restrictions, I am choosing to have a great day!! 🎄❤️🎄 I’m heading out to do a few quick errands, then plan to crank up the Christmas music, make my afternoon coffee, and sit and enjoy! ❤️🎄❤️ What are your plans today?

I’ve ordered my Thanksgiving Turkey and now it’s time to start the grocery list making for the rest of our dinner. Our Thanksgiving dinner is very traditional! Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, jello salad, veggies (creamed spinach or roasted brussel sprouts), green salad, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, and THESE DELICIOUS CANDIED SWEET POTATOES! I can’t make enough of these for my family, they literally “gobble” them up! Recipe link is in my profile!

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that we bbq all summer long, but once it’s Fall and weather changes, all I want is soup! It’s certainly a good thing that my husband enjoys it as much as I do! I have my grandmas old soup pot, and although I occasionally use my crock pot (or Instant Pot), I much prefer to simmer my soup on the stovetop using Grandma’s old soup pot! 
🍂🤎🍂🤎🍂
This delicious Hamburger Soup is the perfect recipe to share for #recipeswapsaturday. You can find the recipe link in my profile.

I wonder what my friends have cooked up in their kitchens this week? Make sure and visit their page and tell them I say “hi!”
