Getting a bit stick-y

"How do you keep them on the stick?!" Is something I get asked ALL, THE, TIME.

The answer is utterly annoying and the sort of thing that would make me head straight to that little x in the top right hand corner - but it is true.. practice, practice, practice.

Having been making cake pops for yonks I assure you it does take time. They are fiddly, they are frustrating, they have a mind of their own and sometimes they will give you cake rage. But when you get it right then it is soooooo worth it. They are unlike anything else, cakey, truffley, sweet but not to sweet and more-ish.

So, go order yourselves some sticks - I'll be uploading a tutorial in the next few weeks and we'll go through it together.

Post-a-pop.

What I flipping love about opening 'Treats, Darling?' is that no matter how much I plan - each day can throw a thrilling (woops just lodged chocolate in to the keyboard) surprise my way.
This week we have entered the world of cake pops by post! 

Having spent the past 18 hours frantically pressing the refresh key on the Royal Mail tracking tool (maybe that explains the chocolate key board debacle) I have just been notified of their safe arrival. 

It's the small things that are so exciting - what a world of possibilities we now have. Watch this space - pops by post could be coming through a letter box near you before you know it!!!

Happy New Year my Darlings!

Happy New Year Darlings!

I hope you all had a cake filled Christmas. The 'Treats, Darling?' Kitchen was quite simply barmy!! With Christmas Fayres and orders come out of our ears, I finally put down the cake pop sticks lunchtime Christmas Eve and poured myself a festive tipple and had a homemade sausage roll. Feels like a million years ago already doesn't it?

And now on to 2017! Where will we go this year? It was amazing to end the year on such a high, thrilled at being so welcomed in to the Cake Eating and Baking world of South West Scotland and now tonnes to be getting on with to build on that.

Keep an eye on the bloggy this year I plan to share some of my cake pop hints and tips - at so many fayres people came up to me saying "I tried making Cake pops - I gave up", yes they are fiddly little buggers but so worth it!

For now, I wish you all my best wishes and here's to making 2017 fantastic :) xoxo
