Spring Push Pop Cupcakes

Cake & Candy· Spring

I don’t know about you all but I am itching for spring.  Why not bring a little spring indoors right now? Make these push pop cupcakes for your friends and family and it is sure to put a smile on their faces.  These are super simple but will look like you slaved away in the kitchen all day.

Spring-Push-Pop-Cupcakes1Before we get to the directions for the cupcakes, you are going to need a holder to keep the containers standing upright.  I have a super simple solution to make a push pop holder in minutes.  Start with a photo storage box in white.  Measure and mark for evenly spaced holes. The box will handle 10 of the containers.

  • Push Pop Containers
  • Wilton Icing Color Kit
  • Little Venice Cupcake Starter Kit
  • Baked Cake
  • Canned or Homemade Frosting
  • Peeps
  • Coconut

spring push pop cupcakesI baked a regular boxed cake mix in three pans.  This way, each layer is thinner.  I colored those layers pink and purple with the Wilton food colors.  If you have never used gel food coloring before, it makes a brighter and more vibrant color and is definitely required for these push pops.  Use your push pop container to cut rounds of cake.  Start with one round in the bottom of your container.  Pipe in icing then add another round of cake.  Continue until you have three rounds of cake inside your container.  This should fill it to the top.

    Hi Jo,
    The blog is not optimized to print. You could go to File and Print on your browser, but it will print many pages and use a lot of ink. I would suggest highlighting the text and photos that you would like printed, right click and copy, then paste it into a Word document. You can then change the format and size of the text and photos. Everything would then print out as how it looks in the document. I hope this helps! Sarah

    How do I print the directions for any of these cute ideas? I can figure out the awesome push-pops myself, but some of the others I would like a printed form for my middle-age brain to remember!! As you can probably tell I am not very computer literate or I would be able to figure this out on my own. Thanks for the ideas!
