Thanks so much for the tip about the chocolate specific colourings, that is great to know! I checked out your site and I love all your cake pops on your gallery page: http://kuchenpops.yolasite.com/gallery.php. They are so detailed and look so yummy. :) Thank you for commenting and it means a lot that you got a kick out of my blog post.

I really needed that. Thanks. I did feel your pain however, had we given up after our first try making them, we would not be in business today. Mastering the art of cake pops truly does take time and patience, but the results can be ultimately glorious. And for those of you that want to add colour to your chocolate and get vibrant colours, check out your local candy making supplier. There is a variety of chocolate specific colorings that can be purchased and added to your chocolate. The powders work best but be forewarned that little jar you bought which is truly expensive will disappear as you will probably need it all to do a pound of chocolate to get the true colour you want.

I just tweeted a pic of your dragon head cake pop. So cool. Are you on twitter? Thanks for checking out my blog and leaving a comment. It was super fun to make these (even though it did take me two days! lol). I won't have time to make any for Valentine's Day but hopefully I'll give it a try again one day. Have you ever made pie pops? They look so yummy but I wonder how you get them to stay on the stick? Here's a pic: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150512972751169&set=a.390308401168.159727.146960036168 Thanks Sherry! I just tweeted a pic of your dragon head cake pop. So cool.

It takes away the pressure of needing to paint the "best possible" painting. In music pressure is taken off the performer as well, if you have a series of performances rather than "the one and only". It allows for variation and that is what art really is about. Thank you for bringing up the subject. I think that is a very interesting point.
