Before I start I realise that the following will makes us sound like teenagers but I assure you we are actual adults.

I make cakes. Not for money, just for friends and family. If I'm asked to make any I just ask for whoever to buy the flour/sugar etc.

A friend at work wants use to go into business together. She makes lovely cakes but cant really decorate them.

Im not interested. Between work and 3dc i just dont have time.

She has recently become obsessed with cake pops. She makes loads of the things. To be fair, hers do taste lovely.

Anyway, i bought myself a machine that makes them. I made some yesterday and took one into work for her to taste.

She had a fit! Told me I have to stop making them as it was not fair to her. Cake pops are her thing apparently. She also said that if I'm ever asked to make any I have to pass the person her way. Its only fair Hmm

I I just laughed but I know she is serious about this.

There is a machine for everything these days, what's so wrong with old fashioned bun cases.

Sorry, but this has to be said - CAKE OR DEATH???

Mmmmmmm cake. I think that I need to go out..... Wink

Maybe there is money to be made after all!!
£2:50 per cake pop, if i made 50 that would be £125 in my pocket, tell your friend im thinking of selling them too, she best get that copyright patent quick...Grin

I'm curious as to how she expressed her outrage, did she stamp her foot and say "but it was my idea first" , fold her arms and have a pouty lip. Cake Pops really need to be well decorated and pretty so she's shafted anyway if she can't do that. Yanbu but she is.

I really want a cake pop maker to sit in my cupboard and gather dust with the bread/pasta/toastie makers

WifiNappies · 03/07/2012 16:24

What's the point of a cake pop?

I think you should buy a badgemaker and make badges and sell them on a stall next to her.

Everyone loves badges!

Where can I get a friend that makes cake pops?

OP, if you fall out with your friend, could you get her to pm me, and I will happily do her taste testing, and comfort her by agreeing what a cow you are.
well until the pops run out

Herrena · 03/07/2012 16:38

Cake badges! Cake pops that you can wear as badges, decorated with a small slogan. And when you're bored of it as a badge, you can eat it.

Patent pending don't any of you bastards try and steal it

quoteunquote · 03/07/2012 16:39

is this her website?

pumpkinsweetie · 03/07/2012 16:39

Love it Herrana, the cake could be glued onto badge with icing.
Yum edible badges, you are a genius

CurrySpice · 03/07/2012 16:39

Am I the only person intrigued by a cake pop machine?

thebody · 03/07/2012 17:44

Fruit is a better snack you greedy buggers.
