Fourth of July is right around the corner & what better way to celebrate than with festive, delicious cupcakes? 

Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or just enjoying a quiet family gathering, our Sweet Shoppe Melting Wafers in Cardinal Red, Sky Blue, & Ultra White can help you create stunning & patriotic cupcake toppers with minimal effort. 

Here’s how you can create these easy DIY cupcake toppers that are sure to impress!

What You’ll Need:

• Cupcakes (homemade or store-bought)
• Sweet Shoppe Melting Wafers in Cardinal Red, Sky Blue, & Ultra White
• Printed design
• Parchment paper
• Microwave-safe bowls
• Spoon or small spatula
• Piping bags

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Cupcakes: Start by either baking your favorite cupcake recipe or grabbing some ready-made cupcakes from the store. Set them aside while you prepare your toppers.
2. Prep Your Melting Wafers: Place your Sweet Shoppe Melting Wafers in microwave-safe bowls, one color per bowl. Microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the wafers are completely melted & smooth. Check out our youtube channel for more precise instructions on how to melt our Sweet Shoppe!
3. Shape the Toppers: Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Place your star-shaped outline underneath the parchment paper (or the outline of your choice) on top. Pour our melted wafers into a piping bag & carefully trace the design.
4. Set the Toppers: Allow the melted wafers to cool & harden. To speed up the process, place your baking sheet or plate in the freezer for 2-5 minutes. This will help the toppers set quickly & make it easier to peel off the parchment paper.
5. Peel Off the Toppers: Once the wafers have set, gently peel the toppers off the parchment paper. Be careful not to break the delicate edges.
6. Decorate Your Cupcakes: Place your newly created star-shaped chocolate cupcake toppers on top of your frosting. Our vibrant cardinal red, sky blue, & ultra white colors will make your cupcakes stand out & perfectly capture the patriotic spirit of the 4th of July.

PRO TIPS:

• Use a metal spatula to help release your designs without breaking them. You can use the edge of the table by pulling the parchment paper down on the edge to help easily peel your designs off.
• You can also use cookie cutters to create uniquely shaped cupcake toppers! Simply pour your melted wafers into your cookie cutters & follow the same steps.
• If you’re having trouble getting the chocolate to release from the cookie cutter, you can lightly spray the inside of the cookie cutter with non-stick spray before pouring in the melted wafers.
• Mix & match colors to create a variety of designs or try swirling two colors together for a marbled effect!

These delicious cupcake toppers are not only easy to make but they also add a delightful touch to your holiday treats. Your guests will be impressed by your creativity & effort & only you will know just how simple they were to create.

Happy 4th of July from all of us at Stover & Company!

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!

We’re kicking off 2024 with a minor update to our beloved line of compound coating wafers! Our Sweet Shoppe Coating Wafers are transitioning to a brand new, smaller size wafer! 

No need to worry, nothing about the product will change other than the size of the wafer itself! This shift in size doesn’t just offer a change in appearance; it amplifies your usage possibilities. Reducing our Sweet Shoppe wafer size by almost 50% allows for a smoother & quicker melting experience, enabling you to coat, drizzle & decorate with ease! 

At Stover & Company, we understand that consistent quality matters most to our customers! While the size of our wafer may be new, we are committed to providing the same premium ingredients & qualities you’re used to with our Sweet Shoppe products.

Here’s what you can expect during the size transition: 

• There will be some crossover between wafer sizes as we work through our existing inventory. This means if you order more than one unit, you may receive an order containing both wafer sizes!
• Rest assured, our original-sized coating wafers continue to uphold the high standard of Sweet Shoppe quality you know & trust. The original-sized wafers are fully usable through the "Best By" date indicated on your package.
• Smaller wafers = faster melting! That’s right, these new smaller size wafers will save you time in the kitchen as they quickly melt down to the perfect Sweet Shoppe consistency! Please be sure to adjust your melting time accordingly to avoid burning the coating. 
• During warmer months, our small wafer size may increase in chances of the product melting during transit. We always recommend adding our cold packaging add-on to protect your order as it makes the journey to your door. 

So that's it! New size, same sweet vibes! 

We value your loyalty to our brand & we’re excited for you to embark on this delightful new journey with us! Stay tuned for more exciting updates & inspiration as we roll out this exciting change!

Cake pops are the perfect combination of adorable & delicious treats that are sure to impress at any event. With a pop of color from our new Sweet Shoppe Colored Wafers, these cake pops become even more delightful & eye-catching. Whether you're preparing specialty cake pops for a birthday party, baby shower, or just making a fun dessert, this easy to follow recipe will guide you through creating sweet bites of happiness.

Ingredients:

• 1 prepared cake (flavor of your choice)
• Sweet Shoppe Colored Wafers (assorted colors)
• Sweet Shoppe Sprinkles or Sweet Shoppe Sanding Sugar (optional, for decoration)

Equipment:

• Stand mixer
• Mixing bowls
• Rubber spatulas
• Baking pan/Cookie Sheet
• Parchment paper
• Aluminum foil
• Plastic Wrap
• Cake pop or lollipop sticks
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Food Processor (optional)
• Small plastic bags or piping bags (for drizzling)
• Cake pop stand or styrofoam block

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Cake:

1. Bake your chosen cake according to the recipe or package instructions.
2. As soon as your cake comes out of the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil for 10 minutes. 
   PRO TIP: When you trap the natural steam in with the cake, it will help keep things moist enough to create your cake pops without adding frosting.
3. After 10 minutes have passed, *carefully* uncover your cake (it will be hot!)
4. Add large pieces of cake into the bowl of your stand mixer or in a food processor.
   PRO TIP: If you're using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment for this step. 
5. Using your mixer, slowly crumble the cake until you form a large doughy ball.
6. Carefully (it will be hot) wrap the dough ball with plastic wrap & let it cool completely. 
   PRO TIP: We recommend letting it cool overnight. 

Step 2: Shape the Cake Balls:

1. Using your hands, or a small cookie scoop, weigh out the dough into approximately 1.1oz portions.
2. Roll out the dough into even balls using firm pressure.
3. Place the cake balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper & cover with plastic wrap to avoid drying out the dough.

Step 3: Melt Sweet Shoppe Colored Wafers:

1. Melt your Sweet Shoppe Colored Wafers in a microwave-safe bowl.
   PRO TIP: Check out this post or watch this video for step by step instructions.
2. Stir the compound coating wafers until they are smooth & fully melted.
3. Use a thermometer to make sure you do not overheat your Sweet Shoppe Coating Wafers. Your Coating Wafers should never be heated over 90ºF.

Step 4: Dip & Decorate:

1. Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into your melted compound coating & insert your cake pop stick about halfway into a chilled cake ball.
2. Let it dry to secure the cake pop to the melted compound coating, making sure to create a full coverage coating. Gently tap off any excess compound chocolate.
3. With a scribe or a toothpick, pop any air bubbles before the Sweet Shoppe Coating Wafers dry. 
   PRO TIP: popping air bubbles reduces the risk of your cake pops cracking once they dry!
4. If decorating with Sweet Shoppe sprinkles or Sweet Shoppe sanding sugar, you must act quickly before the cake pop dries completely so they will stick properly. 

Step 5: Drizzle & Decorate:

1. Melt different colored Sweet Shoppe Coating Wafers & pour them into small plastic bags or piping bags.
   PRO TIP: make sure your piping chocolate is not too hot, as piping with hot compound coatings will make your cake pops crack!
2. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag & drizzle the compound coatings over the cake pops to create a drizzle design.
3. Immediately sprinkle with decorative Sweet Shoppe sprinkles or Sweet Shoppe sanding sugar before the coating sets.

Step 6: Let Dry:

1. Insert the other end of your cake pop stick into a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to allow the coating to set without creating a flat top. Sweet Shoppe Compound Coatings only take      a couple of minutes to dry.

Step 7: Let the Cake Pops Set:

1. Allow the cake pops to fully set & harden before serving or packaging.
   
   

These cake pops coated with Sweet Shoppe Colored Wafers are a burst of color & flavor that will delight both kids & adults alike. With a bit of creativity & a handful of ingredients, you can create a stunning array of cake pops or dipped treats that will steal the show at any gathering. Enjoy the fun of making, decorating, & devouring these adorable & delicious cake pop treats!
