Fly Fishing

A good friend ordered a bouquet of Fly Fishing themed pops for her son's birthday.

I was a bit nervous as to what to do for this theme, but I came up with these fish.

I made them a grayish color with a slightly darker gray stripe and dusted them with some pearl dust to give them that iridescent look fish have.

These are my vision of a Fly Fishing Reel.

The birthday boy was thrilled with his bouquet of pops.

It was a huge hit with the party goers as well.

Marbled Rounds

These are dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate marbled rounds.

These would be great in a variety of colors and wonderful to mix in with a bouquet.

Live and Learn

Keeping it real.

Working with candy melts isn't always easy.

Some days things go perfectly, other days there are issues.

I was making these Pete the Cat pops for a birthday party.

Everything was going along great until my last step.

After adding the nose and whiskers, the candy coating developed cracks along the nose line.

UGH!

I was devasted as I did not have time to make more and give a perfect product, but thankfully my client was OK with the slight imperfection in these pops.

She was delighted with how they turned out, despite the flaws.  She even told me they look amazing and better than she pictured they would be.

For that I was delighted and happy that she was understanding with the imperfections.

While I am still not 100% sure why the cracking happened, I have an idea and will make adjustments for the next time.
