Pops are always a great idea for kids parties. I love cake pops, but they can be quite time consuming to make and as I was already making quite a bit of time consuming food for Victoria’s 6th birthday party, I decided to go for marshmallow pops instead. They were a great hit at her last birthday, when I had made them into “Sea Marshmallow Pops”, so I knew the kids would appreciate them this time around too. Though, this year I went for an even easier decoration: sugar crystals. I wanted them to look like fairy wands and went for golden sugar crystals to make it look like they were covered in Tinkerbell’s “pixie dust”! I think they looked really cute and I got the maximum result with the least effort, which is what I try to aim for when I am making many different dishes for the same party!! Hope you like them!

that’s why I don’t make pops, takes too much time and dedication. But I like your take with the marshmallow, easy and hassle free, plus they are cute and pretty.
