Mummy was fascinated with Bock Bock The Eco Plush Chicken from....

And this is how she got the inspiration for her new range of cake pops, which she calls "Bock Pops" and she's made 20 to be sold at an expo at work for RSPCA fundraising.
Here're some Bock Bocks.... mummy made them out of fondant and she balanced them on styrofoam balls and left them to dry overnight before sticking them on cake pops double-coated with white chocolate. Mummy likes to double coat her cake pops because this gives the pops a smoother finish.
Mummy also made some rocky road cake pops. She had to invent this recipe coz it was specially requested by Aunty Emma for her birthday which is 2 days right after Cupcake Day. So mummy made a trial batch. Here are some of the 20 she made for her work expo today...
She also kept some aside for our really nice neighbour, Unc Warrick (errr..... don't know how to spell his name but it pretty much sounds like this) for being such a nice neighbour. The impaled dudes are for Unc Warrick himself and his wife gets those pretty flowers and his son gets the cute puppies.
Unc Glenn contributed 20 red velvet cupcakes for the expo - here they are after mummy decorated them with cream cheese frosting and little red fondant flowers which she made in like super duper quick time. You'll notice there's only 19 left coz daddy stole one!
Well, we're keeping our fingers and toes crossed today for mummy. Hope all her cake pops and Unc Glenn's red velvets get sold. Oh, and mummy hopes the expo will also bring her some more votes for her cupcakes. There's another new entry from ACT and it looks really good so that certainly brings the contest up another notch. Peoples.... if you're reading this, please click here to vote for mummy!
