Bakerella has done it again with an adorable notecards set as well as a long-anticipated Cake Pops Kit coming very soon.

Bakerella, a.k.a. Angie, has just done a ‘reveal’ of these new items on Bakerella.com.

AND she’s unveiled an uber cute and cool new website, cakepop.com (don’t forget to leave off the ‘s’ on the word pop in that web address).

Angie will be doing a few book signing events before the year’s over—final confirmations of cities and days to come very soon… be on the lookout.

And there will be a couple of new videos featuring Bakerella too—highlighting the past year’s success of Cake Pops the book (over 550,000 in print in one year!), as well as the new kit.

Guess what? I have 3 pre-release advance boxes of the Cake Pops Notecards to give away. Leave a comment and you will be eligible to win one of the three that I’ll be rewarding to a random lucky lover of all things cake poppy. Good luck!

In anticipation of Halloween, please enjoy this recipe from the book.

Black Cats
Use black candy coloring to make these cake pops “purr”-fect for Halloween.

You’ll need
48 uncoated Basic Cake Balls (please see separate recipe below)
48 ounces (3 pounds) white candy coating
Deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl
Black candy coloring (not food coloring)
48 paper lollipop sticks
Styrofoam block
96 chocolate chips
Kitchen Knife
Toothpicks
48 red rainbow chip sprinkles
96 yellow or white oval sprinkles
Black edible-ink pen

To decorate
Have the cake balls chilled and in the refrigerator.

Melt the white candy coating in a microwave-safe plastic bowl, following the instructions on the package. The coating should be about 3 inches deep for easier dipping. (I usually work with about 16 ounces of coating at a time.)

Tint the coating with black candy coloring. Keep adding color, stirring, until the coating is dark enough.

When you are ready to dip, remove a few cake balls at a time from the refrigerator, keeping the rest chilled.

One at a time, dip about 1/2 inch of the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted candy coating, and insert the stick straight into a cake ball, pushing it no more than halfway through. Dip the cake pop into the melted coating, and tap off any excess coating: Hold the pop over the bowl in one hand, and tap your wrist gently with your other hand. If you use the hand holding the cake pop to shake off excess coating, the force of the movement will be too strong and could cause the cake ball to loosen or fly off the lollipop stick. Tapping the wrist holding the cake pop absorbs some of the impact. The excess coating will fall off, but you will need to rotate the lollipop stick so the coating doesn’t build up on one side, making it too heavy on that side. If too much coating starts to build up at the base of the stick, simply use your finger to wipe it off, spinning the lollipop stick at the same time. This can happen if the coating is too thin or too hot. It’s not as hard as it sounds; it just takes a little practice.

Let dry in a Styrofoam block.

Now work on the ears. Submerge the chocolate chips in the black candy coating, one at a time. Remove (you can use the end of a kitchen knife to lift them out) and attach 2 to the top of each pop for the ears. Hold them in place until the candy coating sets like glue, and place in the Styrofoam block to dry. Repeat until all the cake pops have black ears.

When the pops are dry, use a toothpick to dot a small amount of melted candy coating in position for the nose, and attach a red rainbow chip sprinkle. Use the same technique to attach 2 oval sprinkles for the eyes.

Using a black edible-ink pen, draw a straight line down the center of each oval sprinkle to finish the eyes. Let dry completely.

Note: You can also use round confetti sprinkles for the eyes.

Basic Cake Balls
Cake balls are bite-sized balls made of crumbled cake mixed with frosting and covered in candy coating. They are super-easy to make and form the basis of endless variations of decorated cake pops, cupcake pops, and cake bites.

Makes 48 cake balls

You’ll need
18.25-ounce box cake mix
9-by-13-inch cake pan
Large mixing bowl
One 16-ounce container ready-made frosting
Large metal spoon
Wax paper
2 baking sheets
Plastic wrap
32 ounces (2 pounds) candy coating
Deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl
Toothpicks
Resealable plastic bag or squeeze bottle (optional)

Bake the cake as directed on the box, using a 9-by-13-inch cake pan. Let cool completely.

Once the cake is cooled, get organized and set aside plenty of time (at least an hour) to crumble, roll, and dip 4 dozen cake balls.

Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. The texture of the cake causes it to crumble easily. Just cut a baked 9-by-13-inch cake into 4 equal sections. Remove a section from the pan, break it in half, and rub the two pieces together over a large bowl, making sure to crumble any large pieces that fall off. You can also use a fork to break any larger pieces of cake apart. Repeat with each section until the entire cake is crumbled into a fine texture. If you have large pieces mixed in, the cake balls may turn out lumpy and bumpy. You should not see any large pieces of cake.

Add three-quarters of the container of frosting. (You will not need the remaining frosting.) Mix it into the crumbled cake, using the back of a large metal spoon, until thoroughly combined. If you use the entire container, the cake balls will be too moist.

The mixture should be moist enough to roll into 1 1/2-inch balls and still hold a round shape. After rolling the cake balls by hand, place them on a wax paper–covered baking sheet.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours in the refrigerator, or place in the freezer for about 15 minutes. You want the balls to be firm but not frozen.

If you’re making a project that calls for uncoated cake balls, stop here and proceed to decorate the cake balls, following the project instructions.

Place the candy coating in a deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl. These bowls make it easier to cover the cake balls completely with candy coating while holding the bowl without burning your fingers. (I usually work with about 16 ounces of coating at a time.)

Melt the candy coating, following the instructions on the package. Microwave on medium power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring with a spoon in between. You can also use a double boiler. Either way, make sure you do not overheat the coating.

Now you’re ready to coat. Take a few cake balls at a time out of the refrigerator or freezer to work with. If they’re in the freezer, transfer the rest of the balls to the refrigerator at this point, so they stay firm but do not freeze.

Place one ball at a time into the bowl of candy coating. Spoon extra coating over any uncoated areas of the cake ball to make sure it is completely covered in candy coating. Then lift out the cake ball with your spoon. Avoid stirring it in the coating, because cake crumbs can fall off into the coating.

Holding the spoon over the bowl, tap the handle of the spoon several times on the edge of the bowl until the excess coating falls off and back into the bowl. This technique also creates a smooth surface on the outside of the cake ball.

Transfer the coated cake ball to another wax paper–covered baking sheet to dry. Let the coated cake ball slide right off the spoon. Some coating may pool around the base of the ball onto the wax paper. If so, simply take a toothpick and use it to draw a line around the base of the cake ball before the coating sets. Once the coating sets, you can break off any unwanted coating.

Repeat with the remaining cake balls and let dry completely.

If you have extra candy coating left over, pour it into a resealable plastic bag (and then snip off the corner) or into a squeeze bottle and drizzle it over the tops in a zigzag motion to decorate.

You can make the cake balls ahead of time and store them in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator for several days.

Tips
The cake balls will be easier to roll if you wash and dry your hands periodically during the rolling process. Dry your hands completely each time, and make sure you don’t get water in the candy coating, as it can make it unusable.

You can use a mini ice cream scoop to get uniform-size cake balls.

If you don’t need or want to make 48 cake balls, simply divide the cake in half for 24 cake balls or in quarters for 12 and freeze the remaining cake for later use. Remember to reduce the amount of frosting proportionally.

I was lucky enough to attend Cupcake Camp on the Oregon Coast the weekend leading up to the release of Angie's book. Getting the chance to meet her, and hear her story, AND watch her create cake pops in person was great fun! Then to share in the excitement of the first stop on her book signing tour was, pardon the expression, the icing on the cake!_Congratulations Angie, on the upcoming release of the new kits and cards! Look forward to seeing you again soon :)

I recently bought her book and absolutely fell in LOVE with the adorable creations I found inside! It would be great to get the starter kit + notecards, however, if I am not picked that's okay too. My attempts at recreating Angie's cake pops will be chronicled on my blog, which I am super excited about!

Thank you so much Bakerella for being such an inspiration! I have 2 toddlers and am an on-call Mental Health Worker but I havent been getting any calls so I needed another part-time job. That’s when I bumped into Bakerella’s YouTube video and was so inspired, I decided to start my own business! I started a strictly ice cream-inspired cake pops business…nincomPOPS!! It all worked out too cause I get to spend more time with my munchkins and enjoy doing what I do!

Can’t wait to try out some Halloween-inspired ice cream pops!

Thanks again =)

I have never made cake pops before, but I have a niece and nephew who would sure love it if I did! Your creations are visually stunning, and in my opinion, would be 1000 more exciting to make and serve at any special occasion than a stuffy cake or cupcakes. Bravo! I love everything about them.

I absolutely love CakePops!!! Need to add some items to my next grocery shopping list, and those black kitties will be ours to admire and devour – tho they may be too cute to eat!

I was told to spend my birthday today doing whatever I wanted. Soooooo my daughter and I made cupcake cakepops. They don’t look perfect, but they taste divine!
October 6th, 2011 at 4:42 pm | Posted by Me
I have been following Bakerella. I wonder if Starbucks gave her a royalty of sorts. I never win anything so here goes it. It looks deceptively easy and I’d love to get my hands rolling. Where would one get black candy colouring? I have many friends with kids so these notes would be neat but actual kit to make them would be great since I have to entertain elderly folks and they might like these.
October 6th, 2011 at 4:50 pm | Posted by Melissa F
awww that cat reminds me of my old black kitty! I attempted cake pops once already and think i may try again for my son's first birthday next week!
October 6th, 2011 at 7:26 pm | Posted by Virginia
I love this ! i am going to be on a hunt for black candy melts for a Halloween party ! I am so excited this is happening and I hope I win ! :)
