funny, I posted a thread today about the same thing! I'm making them too!

cool! where did you get your push pop thingies?

They didn't think of them either..there's a popular restaraunt chain that's been doing it for th epast few years. Little dessert shots. I worked a wedding last year where they were the hit of the reception.

these look fun, so how are they made? what are they made in?

Could someone please let me know where i could ppurchase the push ups. They are so cute. The grandkids would love them.Please, Please let us knoe.Thank you

That is so cool

they are cute, for sure! I'm just trying to come up with a reasonable price. I won't charge $3 for a tiny bit of cake and icing, just for the novelty of it being in a push pop container. If I knew it would fit a full sized cupcake, which I'm not sure it will, I could charge to cover my expenses and make a little money. But people around here balk at paying $1.00 per cupcake (really!), and those little push pop thingies are already $.50 each, more or less. Oh well, I guess I have some thinking to do!

How do you make these? Do you have a sheet cake, and then somehow VERY carefully cut out the circular shape? I'm clueless here.

KayMc

I would bake a sheet cake in a cookie pan (ala cake roll style), then turn the tube over and use it as the cutter. Then just push the piece of cake down the tube, add filling, repeat until full.

Theresa

Kay,
I would make sheet cakes, then use the push-pop tube to cut out the circles of cake. The plunger would be good for pushing the cake right out into your hand.
Or you could cut the cake circle and leave it in the tube you used to cut it out and keep stacking with frosting and cake. But that would make a messy edge, which you would have to clean.
Or you could use a round cutter that's the same size as the tube to cut the cake circles.

I would just experiment to find what works best.

Is Sprinkles selling them for $3?

neat idea for catering

Sprinkles Custom Cakes in Florida is selling them, but their ordering portion of their site is down right now, so I can't find the price. I saw the price on a blog talking about them, they were $2.50 or $3.00. Is Sprinkles Custom Cakes the same as Sprinkles Cupcakes?

Maria

no I don't think there the same, the Sprinkles Cupcakes website list locations and there isn't one located in Florida.

I would pay $3 for one...especially for my kiddos looks like it would help with the frosting all over their face and place mess . I think it all depends on location like everything cake

Found these price isn't bad for a quantity of 250

I don't think it's the famous Sprinkles.

I think it's another place. Hope they don't get sued. Sprinkles loves to sue.

It's called Sprinkles Cake Shooters

I just discovered these the other day! They are too stinking cute! Perfect for kid parties because I am so over cupcakes! Next time I'm in the Orlando area, I am definitely going to check them out

For those that are buying this or using them all ready....Did you buy the stand as well? How do you present them? I don't think they stand on their own so I was wondering....thoughts?

The bakery I work for is in the process of starting up a line of gourmet cupcakes and giant cookies. I am definitely going to show them this! I think they would be a blast to make and eat!!!

Tori Spelling had them for her daughter's party in a $2.5o pink pail from Target, it seems.

It shows below in the comments.

Can you imagine selling these at a bake sale or for a fundraiser in the school or band colours?? The possibilities are endless.
