Patron Wedding Cake Pops

For my brother & sister-in-law's wedding, I made 200+ cake pops. Since Melissa & Jeff are famous for their drinking, and especially patron shot-taking, clothes stripping, pool jumping escapades, Patron & limes were the natural choice!

I started by shaping each cake pop by hand. For the patron bottles, I used a rounded, triangular shape. For the limes, I started with a circle and then chopped off part of the top using a rounded cookie cutter.



Next, I dipped the patron bottles in white chocolate, then attached the undipped ball of cake pop to the top. After that dried, I spray painted the bottles with Duff Graffiti spray in silver.










For the limes, I first dipped the pop in lime green chocolate and then pressed it into white sprinkles.



Then, I attached a label that I had printed on edible paper at a bakery nearby.




Lastly, the pops were wrapped in clear baggies with an iridescent twist tie, and then stuck with a sticker that I made using Avery gold labels.

We popped two pops into each hotel gift bag for a sweet treat for the guests!

Class Parent Thank You Gifts

I had three wonderful class parents this year and to thank them at the end of the year, I made them bouquets of cake pops in little flower pots.

A peek at the process:

Organization Attempt #1

Hanging file folder organizer inspired by Remarkable Home




Instead of sewing like Remarkable Home suggested in her tutorial, I just stapled the edges together. I glued the tabs downward, but since my folders were kind of cheap (thank you, TJMaxx), they started to wrinkle. I used staples on the rest of the project (even on the ribbon!) and it seems to be strong enough. I embellished with some flowers and brads, but skipped the ribbon... no emergency trips to Michael's for grommets today!
