It seems we can’t get enough of cake pops
just now. Typing those two little words in Google brought up a whopping
4.5m results today.
But even three years ago, I bet not many
people would have even heard of these versatile sweet treats. So where did the
idea come from, and why has it taken off so hugely?
Bakers have always had little tricks for
using left-over cake (doughnut holes, anyone?) – but it was only when Angie
Dudley, the creative mind behind the Bakerella website, wrote Cake Pops in 2010, did the trend take
hold in earnest. The book became a New York Times Best Seller, the trend
crossed the Atlantic, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The popularity of these treats seems to
come from their versatility and the many variations that can be created from a
simple concept. From birthdays to weddings to seasonal events such as
Hallowe’en and Valentine’s Day, cake pops can be ingeniously decorated for any
occasion. Plus, they’re easy to make, with the equipment you need being
inexpensive and simple to use.
And who would be able to resist a tiny,
super-sweet, fun-packed treat on a stick, designed to raise a smile and a lick
of the lips?
We reckon this is a trend that will stand
the test of time (cup cakes, the older sister of the cake pop, are still just
as popular as they ever were since their resurgence in the noughties). That’s why we’re
constantly looking for ways of keeping our loyal customers with all the latest
cake-pop accessories to keep them popping for many years to come!
