Meet Amy Mucha, the owner & Chief Pop Artist of Daisy Pops, located in Kent, Ohio. Amy's journey into the world of cake popping is as delightful as the treats she creates. 

It began in 2011, when Amy’s mother-in-law gifted her a cakepop recipe book, unknowingly setting the stage for an incredible career ahead! What started as a hobby soon blossomed into passion as Amy delighted friends & family with her whimsical cakepop creations. 

In 2016, overwhelmed by the appreciation for her cakepops, Amy decided to share her cakepops beyond friends & family & that’s when Daisy Pops was born! 

At the beginning, Amy juggled her roles as a highschool math teacher & devoted parent, while Daisy Pops began to gain momentum. When the pandemic hit in 2020, she decided to reevaluate her priorities & put her passion first! Amy left her teaching career in May of 2021, to fully embrace a career of cake popping with zero regrets! 

In April of 2023, Amy opened her first storefront & launched her “popfleet” of cakepop trucks & carts for events! But she didn’t stop there! With high demand for her treats, Amy needed to come up with a more efficient way to crank out cakepops for her customers. That’s when she decided to evolve the traditional cakepop shape into her iconic disc shape! 

Amy & her husband have expanded upon this idea with their new venture, Pop Innovations. Pop Innovations focuses on enhancing the cake-popping experience through innovative tools & accessories using 3D printing technology.   

When asked about her favorite Stover & Company product Amy says: “Sweet Shoppe White Melting Wafers are my favorite! It makes up the coating for more than 75% of our cakepops & Sweet Shoppe never fails us. The smaller sized wafers are SO easy to melt! We love them!”

Amy now ships her cake pops nationwide!! Click HERE to yorder yours today!

This banana cake with cake mix is the perfect quick fix to your favorite treat! If you’re in the mood to make banana cake, but don’t want the strenuous clean-up that comes after baking, just make one using a cake mix! Just because this is a short recipe, doesnt mean this is not a homemade-like this banana cake is extremely moist, tender, and full of banana flavor.

Glazes are an essential touch for many desserts and pastries. Glazing cakes, donuts and more have various purposes. For example, enhances the attractiveness of the pastry, cake or bun, adds moisture to the confection, which can extend the shelf life and adds a little extra flavor to the dessert! Like it's purposes, there are many different types of glazes that can be used! Whether it's drizzling to pouring to brushing applying thin or medium glazes are sure to add that extra beautiful touch to your delicious creations! 

On top of our  Sweet Shoppe Compound Chocolate Coating Wafers, our Sweet Shoppe line offers nonpareils as well! Decorating anything and everything from cakesicles to cupcakes the possibilities are endless!

Stover & Comany has a huge selection of candy and cake supply products for you to choose from, and each item has been approved to meet our high standard for excellence. To help you shop for your baking and decorating supplies, here is a brief guide on what you will want to purchase from a wholesale candy and cake supply. 

We want to take this time here to discuss some essential cake supplies wholesale that we recommend you buy to have a well-supplied kitchen. The exact brands and flavors are up to you (we can reasonably recommend any of the brands in our store) but what matters is that you choose these types of products so you can have what you need to make a wide range of cake products for any occasion. Here are our primary recommendations for the cake supplies wholesale that you should prioritize the next time you place an order for baking supplies.

Sweetex Shortening, specifically our Sweetex Golden Flex Cake and Icing Shortening, features a non-PHO formulation and is superior to many other shortenings for spreadability, color, texture, and flavor.

But Sweetex Shortening is not simply better than so many other shortenings. It also has its place in any baker’s arsenal where its many advantages over butter will earn it a top spot.

When buying your wholesale bakery supplies online, there are quite a few factors to consider. A lot of things go into the creation of a cake product that you sell to a customer and you want to keep track of all these things so that you have everything you need in order to do your job properly. Once you have a good assortment of supplies that cover all your needs, you can work freely and confidently to make anything come to life. Before the baking process can begin, you need to stock up on all the cake supplies you could imagine yourself using for one occasion or another. This is where Stover & Company can come in to help. We want to make things easier for our customers to figure out how to shop for cake supplies online, without forgetting anything, so we want to give you some advice for shopping.
