For the Salted Caramel Ganache:

1. In a heatproof bowl, combine the Sweet Shoppe Salted Caramel Melting Wafers & heavy cream.

3. With your thinner ganache, pour it in a squeeze bottle or use a spoon, create drops or drizzle on the top edge of your piped cupcakes.
4. If desired, sprinkle sea salt flakes or our eleven o’one Salted Caramel Flakes over the caramel ganache for an extra burst of flavor.
5. Unwrap your Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes, & enjoy every rich & decadent bite!

We personally invited some of our loyalist supporters & biggest superfans to create this power team of talented bakers & treat makers!

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!
