Wedding Cake Pop Favors

I was asked to make 200 Cake Pops for a wedding to give out as favors. The person who requested these also wanted them to serve as decoration for guest tables. Whats a girl to do but to start planning?

I was very excitied about this because not only would I have to make a large number of Cake Pops, but I would have to come up with a way to place them on tables and what better way than to use mason jars.

I needed 27 mason jars which would come out to 2 per table since she had 12 tables, a jar for the couple, 2 jars for each set of parents as well. I purchased 30 to make extra since you never with weddings. ( I needed an extra table at my own wedding lol).

I searched online for decorating ideas and saw some mason jars wrapped in burlap that I thought looked lovely. I wrapped the mason jars in burlap and the glued some flowers using a hot glue gun. Mason jars decorated and set!

Now to begin the process. I have to be organized and take things step at a time in order to not lose my sanity. I begin by forming all the balls using a 1tsp cookie scoop for uniformity. Once I do that, I place them all in the longest air tight container that I could find. In all, I needed about 4 containers to hold all those pops. I started the process a week before the wedding.

Since I was making two hundred and made 10 extra cake pops for the wedding, I divided everything by 70, So that the wedding colors were teal and white. The bride wanted pink as well. I used Teal, White and Pink candy melts.

I used only white fondant to create the cutouts and colored some of them by adding gel color. I make these fondant cutouts actually 2 weeks before the wedding and set them in a container to dry at room temperature. Not all of the cake pops had a fondant cutout on them but some did. I didn’t count but I would say that about half did.

The rest of the cake pops had just spronkles as deco or lines created with another of the candy melt color for effect.

The bride and groom wanted these “thank you” tags on each favor so once the candy melt had dried, I wrapped each cake pop with wrap made for small treats and used ribbon to tie the wrap and the tag together.

Each mason jar held up to 7-8 cake pops. There were 2 jars set on each of the guest tables. One jar with a few cake pops for the bride and groom and one for each parent of the bride and groom and then some extra.
