I'm excited that together we're going to learn about cakes that are made slightly differently: cakepops, or mini round cakes on a stick, and popsicles, or cakes shaped like popsicles. The online course contains some very interesting lessons, through which we will practice our precision, step outside the box to create bold flavor combinations and stimulate our creativity. I'll teach you about the basic cakepop mixture, the texture of the ingredients and, finally, how to shape and decorate your desserts. I'll also share a few tips with you so we can have more fun while creating the desserts.
"To make cake pops, we need a good sponge and ingredients to enrich the texture and flavor – don't worry, I'll explain everything once we start."
Kimi Zupančič, a passionate pâtisserie artist
"A world of tastes and textures awaits you. I will introduce you to my most frequent flavor combinations, and I have prepared a couple of tricks on how to replace any of the ingredients if you don't happen to have them in your kitchen at the moment. Did you know that you can replace mascarpone cheese with buttercream and powdered sugar?"
Kimi Zupančič, passionate pâtisserie artist
“Kimi tip: when you a dipping numerous cake pops into chocolate, take them out of the freezer in batches. Why? If the cakes on the sticks are too soft, they may fall apart when dipped.”

Why take the cakepops and popsicle course?
The increasingly popular cakes on a stick are suitable for any occasion, lately even overshadowing or even replacing the traditional cakes at birthday celebrations. Kimi, who also runs pâtisserie workshops, as she likes to share her knowledge and experience with others, has prepared a short online course in cooperation with the BAM Pâtisserie Academy, where she will share recipes and tips for the best cakes on a stick. She will introduce you to combinations of different flavors, and together you will master the basics of shaping the perfect balls for cake pops.
“These popsicles awaken that child in everyone that would just throw themselves at them and gobble them up! Mmmmmh ... they have an extremely moist and delicious middle, enveloped by a crisp chocolate coating."
