Pirates and Owls

I did a "pre birthday" cake for my littlest boy and my Mum.  I had to use cake pops, of course, so I decided on Pirates and Owls.

Pirate Cake Pops

These were pretty easy.  I debated about using fondant for their bandana ties but went with a mini m&m instead.

Owl Cake Pops

I needed to take just a little more time with the eyes for these.  Next time I will slow down and try to make them a bit more smooth.  I need to say that I pinched the idea for the white spots on the belly from someone.....but I can't find who it was at the moment!  Once I find the image, I will link to it!

Here are the pops on a simple round buttercream cake - they look quite effective, I think.
