CAKE HEAVEN
“WHAT ON
EARTH ARE
CAKE POPS?!”
Holly established her cake pop
business when she started her
family. Approaching her son’s
birthday, and whilst searching
online for dinosaur party
inspiration, she came across
the wonder that is the cake pop.
“Cake pops?!” she thought,
“What on earth are they? Dense,
gooey, naughty cake on sticks,
what a fabulous idea!”
Holly decided to make her very first
batch of cake pops as a little trial,
and she was hooked! Hollypops was
born. Holly tells me, “Skip forward a
crazy cake popping year later, and
I’m making pops I never dreamed
of. I’m always pushing myself and
revelling in challenges. At Hollypops
we now offer anything you can
possibly imagine from just one pop
to the hundreds. A simple gift or a
whole dressed table for your event.
With prices starting at just £1 a pop,
they prove very popular for children’s
party and wedding favours.”

For the Dotty Yurt Shoot, we were
delighted to receive a selection of cake
pops from Holly, that arrived perfectly
in the post! Holly explains,“For the
shoot, there was no shadow of a doubt
that I was going to do a cameo. They
are timeless, stunning decorative items,
often associated with high class ladies
of the Edwardian era. Queen Victoria
was an advocate who helped propel
them into mass production. I loved the
idea of backing the cameos onto pink;
the thought of luxurious materials,
stains, silks, tulle and feather – soft and
heavenly.”

“I also had to go for the classic
brown and gold colour combination.
The colour scheme reminded me
of indulgent smooth chocolate. I
decided to add the ribbing to this
pop for slight vintage look. The
last element I wanted to add was of
love, which I tried to hint with the
extravagant gold rose that crowns the
top of the cake pop.”
