Fabulous Favors: Dessert on a Stick

10.26.12

Let’s face it…we are all just too busy! These days, people are on the go-go-go, so everything better be portable! We’ve got our smart phones, iPads and coffee. With the explosion of food trucks, even restaurants are mobile now!

We sure do love our to-go coffee, smart phones and food trucks!
The iPad mini is expected to sell like crazy! Portable is king!


As far as weddings go, we’ve made it no secret here that we think mobile dessert is just about the best thing ever (cake in a jar, whoopie pies, donuts, etc.). Seriously, who doesn’t love a sweet treat? And to have it to easily take with…well, that’s just genius! So, with that in mind, we present to you all manners of dessert on a stick, ideal for wedding treats and favors!

The dessert-on-a-stick craze seems to have started with cake balls on a lollipop stick.
Thank you, Bakerella, for this brilliant evolution!
A little twist: shaped cake pops! The cupcakes are cute, but the wedding cakes are fabulous!!!
Then came oh-so-amazing cake push-ups or push pops!
The perfect balance of cake and frosting, these are like smaller versions of cake in a jar!
Look at the gorgeous ways you can display your cake push pops!
Brownie pops for chocolate lovers!
Look at these cheesecake pops! Pretty and delicious!
Who doesn’t love the timeless combo of peanut butter and chocolate?!
or cookie dough?! Cookie dough truffles, yummy!
Macarons are still huge – why not combine two red-hot trends with macaron pops?!
Fall is perfect for pie! What could be more seasonal than pie pops?!
Guests would go crazy over such cute and scrumptious favors!
Go nostalgic with s’mores pops!
or jazzed-up rice crispie treat pops! Talk about good memories…
What about these absolutely precious mini pop tart pops?! Just darling!
Or you could always go for a variety of skewered dessert options!

It seems that you can miniaturize almost any treat and put it on a stick! Let your sweet tooth and creativity guide you to see what you can come up with for fun portable dessert favor ideas!
