For my yearly holiday party (usually around New Years) I made Twitter cake pops. I believe 2009 to be the year of Twitter (bird).

Using Bakerella's Easter spring chicken cake pops as inspiration, I created blue Twitter birds. This was my first try at the cake pop and sadly, quite a few cracked. I'll call those wounded birdies the Twitter fails. Maybe I should have made some fail whale pops, as well?

They are strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting and vanilla shell. Really tasty. I love how the pink pops against the blue.

FYI the little beaks, wings, and feet are labor intensive. After making a third of the birds I had Chris dig through the muticolored sprinkle jars for orange and yellow sprinkles as he watched some college bowl games. Now he claims he helped make the Twitter pops. I guess, it's true.

I gave the leftovers to a few of my co-workers. What lucky co-workers...

Quite a few people have requested a recipe/instructions. Check back on Monday night for a how-to post. Until then, in case of Twitter bird pop emergency, please consult Bakerella's blog.
