These are so cute. Great job!!!

What a great idea!

How did you get the face shield like that? They look great!

Very cool! Do you have a tutorial?

perfect....so perfect

@sharlene_marie - The face shields were made by rolling out flat candy clay, cutting a pointed ellipse approx. 3" L X 1 " H, using small cutters to punch out square in middle and teardrops on sides of ellipse, placing ellipse over cylinder (same size diameter as helmets) to dry.

Your cake pops are the absolute best I've seen. What type of chocolate do you use?

@dddcakes - I'm currently using Plymouth Pantry Almond Bark, both Vanilla and Chocolate, to dip and have had great success with consistency without thinning. The Vanilla makes beautiful pastels when combined with Wiltons candy colors but dark/bold colors are hard to achieve and tend to streak. In my area, Wilton Candy melts are readily available but I've had NO SUCCESS with consistency...even when thinned per Wiltons directions (via shortening) the mix is globby.

Thanks to all for the many kudos!

I have a client that wants football themed cake pops these are amazing! I have never heard of candy clay.Where do you purchase this produce?

One more question where did you get the mold for the for football? those are just amazing!

@Momstivers - I make my own candy clay (not sure where or even if it can be purchased). There are many recipes on the web including CC. All recipes combine melted candy with light corn syrup. Recipe variations include ratio of candy to corn syrup, preparation technique, and shelf life. Differences in humidity and hand temperature can affect the clay. (...) (...)

@Momstivers - I use a crumbled cake mixed with American (no-cook) Buttercream to make the pops. Shapes are hand molded then chilled.
