Cake Pops for a Cause

Alongside baking, humanitarianism is one of our passions. It is a privilege for us to be able to give back to the community and participate in charity events with our Cake Pops. 

This Friday (International Women's Day), we will be raffling out our Cake Pops at an art exhibit called ARTivism: ART for a Cause, as we collaborate with All ASA (Armenian Student Association) and OneArmenia. All proceeds will go to OneArmenia's March 2013 project, ending domestic violence against women in Armenia. We hope to see you there!

All ASA is a non-profit umbrella organization made up of Armenian student organizations across California's college and university campuses, including USC and UCLA. OneArmenia is also a non-profit organization whose mission is to make a difference in Armenia by focusing on one project at a time.
 

The event will be held at Les Noces Du Figaro. More details below: 

The YouTube video below gives the heart-shattering reality of the abused Armenian women living in Yerevan.

Casino Fun!

Although we specialize in Cake Pops, we love having the opportunity to create Dessert Buffets for our clients! Our sweet client came up with this amazing theme to surprise her husband for his 30th birthday. We customized our Cake Pops to resemble dice and added subtle details to our other delectable treats to make this Casino inspired dessert table.

Below are some photos from the milestone celebration:

The finished look has us longing for a trip to Vegas!

Burke Williams for International Women's Day

In January, as we catered our Cake Pops to KCee’s Candy Buffet at the BrideWorld Expo at the L.A. Convention Center, we came across the quirky contest 'My Wed Deal' was hosting. We entered and won the contest (a $100 Burke Williams Certificate) due to the overwhelming support of our fans and friends "Liking" the picture we took that day!

We are so thankful for your support! We loved our massage and decided to pay-it-forward by booking an additional day at Burke Williams for our mother and grandmother to celebrate them tomorrow on International Day of Women, March 8!

What will you do to celebrate your favorite women this year?

Let’s Monkey Around {as seen on Amy Atlas Events}

When Marjaneh of Candybar Couture, a custom candy and dessert table designer based in Beverly Hills, CA, shared her unique idea of a whimsical Sock Monkey Valentine's Day themed table, we immediately agreed to include our Cake Pops!   Sock Monkeys are stuffed toys made from socks, fashioned in the likeness of a monkey (Wikipedia). She shared her inspirational piece and we were off to recreate these unique little characters into our two-bite cake pops. 

We love how the table came together with the other adorable desserts and items by HayleyCakes and Cookies, JazzyCupcakes, Whimsical Printables, and the Card Shop on Etsy.

2011, you were great to us!

We are so thankful for all of our supporters this year and wish everyone a healthy and prosperous 2012 year!  Your support and referrals have grown the Cake POP-in' fan page (www.facebook.com/cakepopin) to over 800 fans in this year!!

We have been fortunate to have added a Pop of Delectable Charm to many great celebrations such as birthday (child and adult), engagements and weddings this year (to name a few) and have donated Cake Pops to different causes throughout the year to raise money for a special cause. We were also excited to participate in our first Bridal show at the Langham Huntington in Pasadena, hosted by Fancy That!. With such a whirlwind of a year, we ended the year on a high note by introducing our Cake POP-in' variety packed boxes that we made for the Holidays!

We look forward to another fun and creative 2012 and are blessed to have your support and feedback.We love you all!
Please enjoy some picture highlights of 2011 and follow our Facebook fan page for more creations!!

A Thanksgiving Engagement with our 'Favor + Placecard Duo Pops'

We are so blessed to have such a supportive fan base and would like to thank you all for your positive feedback and great referrals! 

This Thanksgiving we not only had traditional orders but also a beautiful Engagement Reception where we created our 'Cake POP-in' Favor + Place card Duo'. The beautiful finance-to-be, Ovsan, was referred to us by a few of our first and return customers, Diyana and Katrin (thank you!!). We were so happy to work with Ovsan's theme of pearls and feathers and will now reveal the final look of the gorgeous custom display! How cute did the Engagement Couple inspired cake pops turn out with their matching fushia outfits??? 

Wishing the happy couple a sweet life full of love, good health, laughter and...Cake POP-in' Cake Pops! 

and our Thanksgiving orders, an arrangement for a 23rd birthday celebration as well as boxed orders!

I Do! An Event for the Stylish Bride

With an estimated 900 guests stopping by our table, our first Bridal Show participation was a success!

It was such a pleasure to be part of the 'I Do! An Event for the Stylish Bride' at The Langham, Huntington in Pasadena hosted by Christine Zohrabians of Fancy That!.  This was a great opportunity for us to display our wedding offering (along with samples!) as well as put faces to names we had seen comment on our fan page :). The level of talent by our fellow vendors was exceptional and so inspirational and we are excited to collaborate with them in the future.

We want to give a special shout out to some of our newly formed friendships: Rafi of Rafi's Pastry, Adrine and Meg of The Busy Bee, KCee of KCee's Candy Buffets, Saco of Petals La, and Sonig and the lovely ladies of Cake Studio Cafe. Great meeting you all!!

Here are some picture highlights of the Cake POP-in' booth and our cake pops taken by Duke Photography. More pictures on our fan page, Cake POP-in'.
