Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops

 Pool Party Pops

The pool is open!
And nothing beats the dog days of summer like a refreshing pool party! 
Everyone wants in on the splashin' action. . . including two of my pups.


So dip your feet in and kick back  . . .


because I made a little something for our pool party.  Can you guess what it is?


Something that gets kind of drippy . . . so you have to hurry up and eat it.


You bet 'cha! These ice cream cone cake pops are just perfect for a pool party!


As cute as the sugar cones look, their pointed bottoms make them difficult to prop up.


So I switched over to ice cream cups.  Rolled out the cake balls and dipped the whole thing in vanilla candy coating. 

 I found that Kroger's brand of candy coating melts nicely and doesn't need any shortening to thin it.


I bought these adorable votive holders . . .


. . . . and they held the ice cream cone cake pops perfectly.


Wouldn't they make cute party favors?


Well you may not be allowed to dive into the pool . . .


But you sure can dive into these poolside treats!


And on a hot summer's day . . . they do go fast! 


Just ask my little cannon balls.

    1. I love that you see a starfish on top! It is made with melted chocolate drizzled on top. Sprinkles are quickly added before the chocolate solidifies.
