If you are stumped on how to decorate them here is a suggestion from Mariah herself,  “Make the whole thing orange, put the white chocolate in a plastic bag and cut the tip of it off and drizzle it on the cake pop to make it look like a mummy!”  

According to Olivia Hewitt and Kyla Rodrigues, two of Mariah’s close friends, who have had them say “It is so good and moist.” Her cake pops are highly recommended because of how they are decorated and the taste of them. They can be good not only for Halloween but also other holidays and celebrations.
