Wecome Baby and Welcome Back!

I needed a break from cake pops, it was much needed and well deserved.

I've been really enjoying my summer without having to worry about orders and baking and chocolate not melting properly because of heat and humidity.

Not to mention I had a lot going on with my son and really wasn't able to take time away from him.

But

I'm baaaaack!!!

I welcomed myself back to cake pops and welcomed a new baby girl into the world by making this arrangement.

Happy 1st Birthday Caleb!!! GO BUCKS!!!

Caleb's mommy contacted me back when I first started Let's Have a Ball, she was planning a football/Ohio State University themed 1st Birthday Party for her little man.

My husband is a huge Ohio State fan and I guess you could say I am, by default, so I was pretty excited for this order.

I knew I'd use sanding sugar, my favorite, I use it all the time.

I just love the sparkly effect it gives basic cake pops.

And of course the FOOTBALL!!!!

Price Increase

As much as I did not want to do this, my supply costs have increased, therefore my prices must increase too.  Starting today, April 17, 2011 my prices will be as follows:

Basic Cake Truffles - $12 per dozen
Basic Cake Pops - $20 per dozen

Speciality design cake pop prices will remain the same for right now.

Tigers, OH MY!!!!

I made these as a donation to a local elementray school for a fundraiser.

Their mascot is a Tiger.

I thought these were fitting.

Not to mention I've been wanting to make these guys for a while.

Available Dates - UPDATED

I thought it would be a good idea to post my availability for May and June as I have been receiving quite a bit of emails.  I wish I could take on every order, but unfortunately it is just me, myself and I, so I can only take a handful of orders each month.  Here is a list of dates I have open, I am posting weekend dates as that is when the majority of people place their orders for:

May 14-15 PENDING
May 21-22
June 25-26

April is already completely booked, if you have already contacted me, you are most likely down on my calender, but feel free to email me at letshaveacakeball@gmail.com if you would like to double check.

To Infinity And Beyond: A Toy Story Themed 2nd Birthday

When I started making cake pops I had seen a photo of Hammie and Mr. Potato Head cake pops.

I really had no reason to make them, even though I always wanted to.

Then my son, Davis, discovered Toy Story around Christmas time.

I knew right then he was having a Toy Story themed 2nd Birthday party, complete with none other than the Ham and the Potato.

The birthday cake and cupcakes were made by my amazing friend Angi from How Sweet It Is.  She even made 3 very special egg free cupcakes for Davis since he is allergic to them.

And now onto picture overload.

Happy 2nd Birthday Davis!!

Daddy and Mommy love you to Infinity and Beyond!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Emmerson!!

Emmerson's mom contacted me in December, she just knew she had to have cupcake cake pops at her daughter's cupcake themed 1st Birthday Party.

Hot Pink and Lime Green.

Sparkles.

Cupcakes.

Lots of Fun!!

I hope you enjoyed your 1st Birthday Emmerson and maybe even your first taste of a cake pop too!!

Hot Pink and Turquoise

March Showers Bring May Flowers

Or should I say March snow.

I made this floral bouquet of a dozen peanut butter cake pops for my favorite photographers, JEM Photography.

I love these! 

What a perfect way to say Thank You, I Love You, Thinking About You, Get Well Soon, actually the possibilities are endless.

A Few Tidbits of Information and Updates

1.  Wedding season is quickly approaching, if you are thinking about having cake truffles or cake pops at your wedding please contact me as soon as possible to hold your date as wedding orders tend to be much larger than regular orders, therefore requiring more time on my part and I like to make sure that the entire week before your wedding is dedicated to your special day. 

2.  Some cake pop designs to look forward to in March:  Hammie and Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story, Flowers, Easter Eggs, Easter Bunnies, Chicks, Tigers, and Puppies.  If there is a special design you haven't seen yet, don't hesitate to ask if I can do it. 

3. I am planning on introducing two new flavors sometime in March:

Peanut Butter Cup - a delicious peanut butter cake blended with a peanut butter frosting

Coffee Coffee - a coffee infused mocha flavored chocolate cake blended with your choice of buttercream or chocolate frosting

If there is a flavor you'd like to see do not hesitate to ask me.  My list of flavors to put on my menu is several long and since I'm am the only employee of this company I get to test things out when I get time.  If you come up a flavor and it is a hit, you get to name it!

4. I am working on adding some new items to the menu, chocolate covered Oreo cookies, chocolate covered pretzeal rods and chocolate covered rice kristpie treats.  Prices will be up soon.  Look for a new tab titled "Other Goodies".

University of Toledo Health & Science Campus Artist Showcase

Let's Have a Ball was out and about Friday at the Artist Reception at the University of Toledo Health & Science Campus in the Mulford Library.  You can read about the event here.  Not only did Let's Have a Ball provide delicious treats, my sister who is the nursing librarian at the Mulford Library had a painting on display and my son, Davis had his painting on display as well.  My sister had a gorgeous oil painting done of Davis last year as a gift to all of us for his 1st birthday.  The artist who painted it wanted to display it in the art show so of course we couldn't say no, I loved seeing the painting of our son in the show.  Unfortunately he slept the entire time so I wasn't able to get a photo of him next to his own painting.  I see another trip to the library in our future while the display is still up.

I made 4 different flavors, 3 of which were brand new, Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Birthday Cake and Stella Yella.

Now, onto the treats.

ME!
