5.0 out of 5 stars Yummy Push Up Pops March 5, 2012

By Flower

Format:Hardcover

This book is amazing! Courtney has outdone herself. She gives great tutorials for creating push up pops and gives accurate measurements. Her recipes are not limited. She offers recipes and tutorials for cake, cookies, pies and frozen treats like the Strawberry Lemonade, and the Frozen Margarita. I have made several of the recipes and they were delicious. The Key Lime Pops had the perfect amount of lime. The Snickers Caramel Pie Pop is to die for...an occasional treat though :)Other than this book, you will need to purchase the containers. I purchased mine from Pastrychef.com but as of right now they are out of stock. The pops you will make are fun, yummy, and easy to make. They are also guaranteed to impress everyone from the young kids, to the adults who fondly remember eating ice cream out of push up pops.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous treat for all occasions! March 12, 2012

By Deanna Garretson

Format:Hardcover

Courtney has written an adorable book that is a treat for the eyes as well as the tummy! Showing that cupcakes aren't the be-all end-all, Cake pops are a fun addition to any event. I have made 3 of the recipes so far and I have been thrilled with each one - and if you think you can't make them because you don't have the sleeves, there are resources in the back of the book. I hope Courtney continues to write more entertaining books!
