Cake pops explode in popularity

Popularized by a blogger known as Bakerella ( www.bakerella.com), cake pops have taken over as the new cupcake. In her New York Times best-seller, Bakerella shows readers how to craft cake pops that look like robots, koalas, puppies and ghosts.

The classic cake pop is a super-sweet and mushy mouthful. In its original form it is made of finely crumbled cake and frosting creamed together, chilled, then dipped in colorful candy melt and decorated. In the last few years they've become an international sensation, and many cities are going cake-pop crazy.

A few examples:

-In Prairie Village, 15-year-old Sarah Fox, a freshman at Shawnee Mission East High School, has started her own cake pop company called Great Expecaketions. A local business has started to sell them.

-In Lenexa, a company called Select Brands has rolled out the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker, an appliance that resembles a waffle iron with deep round wells that bakes a different kind of round cake ball.
