Another Order for My Hobby

Chiffon birthday cake

In half an hour, it will be Friday again. Time really flies so fast and we have the middle of October. Soon it will be Halloween again but no, we don´t celebrate it here. A few days ago, I got a call from a friend whose daughter will be 18 soon. You can guess what she asked me. Yes, I have an order for the 31st of October. This time, I don't have to bake a cake. I will make 18 cupcakes and 18 cake pops for the birthday celebration. It is up to me what kind of cake pops and cupcakes I have to make. Now, I have to think about how I decorate them. Maybe I will make Halloween decorations or pumpkin frosting on the cupcakes. Well, I still have time until then. Maybe you can make suggestions. The photo was the orange chiffon birthday cake I made last Friday. Thank God for no-bake day tomorrow. I can rest and Mylot for hours. Thanks for reading. I hope your Thursday is or was okay.

What are cake pops? It's the first time that I see this term. Is it a specialty from your home country? The cake in the photo looks good. Is it a strawberry cake? Why is it called 'chiffon' cake?

It shows now @MALUSE. Cake pops are like lollipops made of cakes and decorated with sprinkles. No, it is not a specialty in my home country. I don´t know the origin of it but I will show you a photo of how it looks like.

@thelme55 Thank you. If cake pops are like lollipops, then they are on a stick?

@sophie09 Only up to 10 persons allowed in a party. So they just cancelled it.

Hello there. I'm not sure about the Halloween conqueror for the cake since it is 18th birthday. Maybe something girly, feminine. Flowers or purple color or pink

I agree with you @rakski. I still have to ask what motive they have in the celebration. Thank you.

Baking beautiful cakes like that is just your hobby? Girl, you make me so envious! There are times that I even mess up boxed brownies. You are fortunate that you have an opportunity to earn with your hobby.

Yes, it is just my hobby since I was no longer working in a cafeteria @Raine38. Just follow the instructions of the cake or brownies boxes, then, you will be fine. Yes, I am fortunate indeed. Thank you.

Thank you very much @LadyDuck. I love making them. The order was cancelled as the party was cancelled, too due to a new restriction on how many persons are allowed in a group of people meeting each other. I am glad that it was canceled as I don't really want to go there.

Cake pops are a kind of lollipops made out of cakes. You can crumble the cake and mix with nougat cream or strawberry marmalade and form into balls. Put a stick on it by using a paste made of chocolate and frost them and put sprinkles on each of them. You can see the link I have commented on Maluse response. Thank you @JudyEv
