An ideal starting place
I've never made cake pops but am hoping to start experimenting with them soon. I was looking for a book which would provide useful tips as well as have inspiration for novelty designs. This book is perfect. The book is absolutely strewn with photographs which is a very helpful addition.It provides useful recipes for the actual cakes as well as various types of icing (royal, butter cream, cream cheese etc.) It provides information about the various 'dippings' such as how to temper chocolate (white and dark) and how to colour chocolate.It has a whole section on technique which shows you how to make the cake pops, how to shape them, how to dip them and explains the different reasons for blooms, what they look like and how to avoid them.That quickly sums up the first third of the book (approximately 40 pages). The next 80 pages provides tutorials on decorating the cake pops. This rather large portion of the book is divided into sections.'Let's Celebrate' which includes; glitter balls, heart and star shaped pops, cupcake and cake slice pops, cake pops that look like truffles, pops that look like wrapped sweets / chocolates, ice cream and ice lolly pops and wrapped presents.'Romantic Moments' which includes; decorated love hearts, pops with flower designs, little devils, engagement / ring box pops, bride and groom pops, wedding cake and flower pops.'New Baby' which includes, pastel feet designs, teddies, bows, flowers and polka dot designs and dummy pops.'Seasonal Style' which includes; Easter chicks and rabbits, ghosts and pumpkin pops, bats and eyeballs, Christmas trees and Santa hats, reindeer pops, snowflakes and robin pops.And finally, 'Animal Friends' which includes; pigs, cows, chickens and sheep, hedgehogs, mushrooms, snails and owls,Overall, a fantastic starting book considering the recipe ideas, technique tips and other helpful hints. As you can see, there are a fair amount of cake pop ideas to get you started. I honestly cannot recommend this book enough, I imagine I will be referring to it again and again. It is certainly what I was looking for, and more!

Don't hestiate
Having started with cupcakes and moved on to big cakes I am now interested in trying something new and quite fancied the look of cake pops. This book is brilliant! I have done some courses at Cakes 4 Fun and they are the nicest most knowledgeable people around. If you are interested in trying cake pops this is the book for you. It tells you what equipment you need, it gives you recipes for the cakes and it gives you detailed instructions for the designs. I can't wait to get started with these designs.

I totally agree with previous posters
Although it is a smallish book, it is packed with really interesting and do-able designs. I liked the Mollie Bakes book, but found this one more inspiring with crystal clear instructions. If you are not sure which book to buy, give this one a try. There's something for everyone, and I'm pretty sure you will not be disappointed. Well done Bake me I'm Yours and Carol White.

A lot of waffle!
I expected a book that would show me different ways to decorate cake pops, but this book was filled to half way with cake mixtures. I already know how to make cakes, and if I wanted a recipe I would google it or look at a cookery book! But the book is beautifully illustrated and there are some good ideas in it.

Amazing book! It has some cake recipes if you ...
Amazing book! It has some cake recipes if you don't have your own and then it shows you step by step how to make all those amazing cake pops. It's very handy and it even has instructions on how to substitute an ingredient if you lack or can't find the original. Highly recommend it.

Bake Me I'm Yours...Cake Pops
Very interesting to all levels of bakers. Good pictures and suggestions and details. Some ideas not previously thought of for cake pops. Makes a good present for all bakers, weather home bakers or professionals. Would recommend as a "keeper".

zum ablachen ;-)
vor allem die vielen praktischen und bebilderten Anleitungen zur Verzierung sind toll, aussergewöhnlich und leicht umsetzbar. Keine Angst vor englischer Sprache - die Bilder sind teilweise selbst erklärend.Wer Spass daran hat, mit kleinen Impulsen zu überraschen, der ist hier genau richtig.

A nice book, pretty ideas for cake pops
The book is a very quick book to read...It has the basic notions and it's really easy to use.There are a few sections dividing the cake pops by ocasion, techniques... presentation ideas. Maybe it's more orientated to begginers home bakers and not professional bakers who already has knowledge in the area of cake pops.it's a cute book, with cute ideas... such as: Little devils cake pops, mini tiered cakes, little bears. Chicks coming out of eggs (for easter ideas) Bunnies, and cute reindeers for xmas.. and many other..I recommend it if you do not have any other cakepop book, such as: Bakerella's cake pops.. or if you are new to the fabolous cake pop world :)The only thing that i would add to this book in my personal opinion are more photos of "the making of" some cake pops shapes... and other techniques, that are not shown.. and might be tricky for begginersHope this helps!!!
