I love to cook and bake. One of my favorite things to make is cupcakes. It's also one of my favorite things to eat. So, when I had the opportunity to work with Wilton, I was extremely excited. Wilton is the
Crème de la crème of cake decorating and candy making supply companies. I have
been buying Wilton products for years. They wanted me to share with you some of
their really awesome products. I received the Treat Pops, which is really cool
because I love the sherbet treats that these were inspired from. I love that it is so much easier to eat,
especially for my six year old. We can
make whatever cake we would like and any icing flavor. I love that these are
reusable. It reminds me of my Grandma Rose, because she would reuse anything
she could. It makes the Treat Pops more fun because you can have countless
treats in them. I also received the Mini Whoopie Pie Baking Pan. When I first heard of Treat Pops, I was kind of curious how
the cake would fit. I wasn’t sure if you
were supposed to crumble the cake up. I know that would make a messy
presentation and possibly a messy treat, I was excited to learn that they have
a pan for that. Wilton really thinks of everything. You could also use the pan to make mini whoopee
pies. I don’t think I have ever had whoopie
pies, which will be my next baking venture.
Another product I tried out was the Treat Pops Decorating Set. I have a love/hate relationship with icing,
when it comes to decorating. I am happy
to report that the Treat Pops Decorating Kit was so easy to use. I actually had
fun doing the icing and it turned out nicely. I think it is because you get
bigger tips. Bigger tips are easier for
me to use. The tops of my treat pops actually looked professionally done.
Making Treat Pops are really easy. I used boxed cake mix.
Now you get a lot of extra cake batter so either have extra Treat Pops
available or come up with a dessert for the leftovers. I refuse to throw away
cake batter. My original plan was to
make Treat Pops for our weekly play date, but then I realized there are a lot
of kids involved. There are a least
twelve kids, not including parents. I
also knew that I would be worried that someone would throw away one of the
Treat Pop containers away in the park trash can. I decided that I would just make six Treat
Pops, since that is a lot of Treat Pops for just me and Noah. I ended up using
the rest of the cake batter and frosting to make cupcakes for our play date. It
ended up making the exact number I needed.
I filled up the Mini Whoopie Pie Baking Pan per Wilton’s instructions with a Tablespoon of batter in each, and then
baked them until they were done. I started with 9 minutes and added more time
until done. I didn’t want them to burn. When they were cool I added coloring to my
icing and then filled the pastry bag with the long tip in the Treat Pops
Decorating Set. I put a cake in the
bottom and then began layering with icing. The top of the Treat Pop container
doubles as a stand which is really helpful when you are filling them. You have to be careful that you don’t push it
up though. I finally topped with a big
swirl of icing and used some sprinkles.
These are so good. They are also portable and really fun to eat. Noah
was so excited to try Treat Pops. They
are the perfect blend of cake and icing. I know my best friend who loves icing
would love these, especially because you can control how much icing you put in
them. You can also use fruit. I think gelatin and cream would even be good in a
Treat Pop.
Have you tried Treat Pops? What flavors would sound good to
you?
Thank you to Wilton for providing me the items in this post
for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
