Summer Shop Feature ~ Cake Pop Fusion

“Party On A Stick” ~Cake Pop Fusion

First in my series of shop features is the yummy Etsy shop, Cake Pop Fusion.
Pia is the owner of this shop, and her creations leave my mouth watering!


Ice Cream Sundae Pop

Pia is a single mom, and she and her youngest daughter have always loved baking, crafting and “just being creative together”. Pia was introduced to cake pops at the birthday party of her friend’s son. The friend recommended she check out Bakerella.com. This inspired her to begin her cake pop journey….and the rest is history!

Pia says she loves everything about her business, from meeting new people to learning new techniques. She and her daughter love challenging themselves (and each other) to create new cake pop designs and flavors.

Sweet Anniversary....

“Our wedding was many years ago. The celebration continues to this day.” ~Gene Perret




I recently had the honor of creating a necklace for a customer, as a gift to her grandmother for her 60th anniversary.

As I thought about this milestone in her life, I was a bit nervous to be the one creating this special keepsake. Would it honor the love and devotion of a 60 year relationship?

So I researched anniversaries, and found the gift and meaning for 60 years. The tradition of celebrating a 60th anniversary came into popularity after Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee. The gemstone is a diamond and the color is diamond white.


Here is the piece I made. I used vintage crystals to represent diamonds and antique milk glass beads for some white. I added a small gold heart along with the crystal hanging from a sweet little bird charm.






Happy 6oth to S’s grandmother, may you celebrate many more!
