Push a Push POP!

I am very exciting to be writing about the latest dessert craze- Push pops or another wise known as Cake Shooters.
Its seems to be at parties its all about the "entertainment" element of the food rather than the food itself. With these "push pop" cake shooters you can combine the two. A fun gimmick to surprise your guest filled with any of your favourite desserts.
I first found these amazing desserts featured over at One Charming Party.

My mind ( and my tastebuds) go crazy at all the many desserts that could work as a cake shooter.
You could fill the containers with any dessert combination- just use the container itself as a cookie/cake cutter.

 Mon Tresor will have these containers available through their website within the next week, so get in with those orders and ideas for all your party needs.

I have listed a few below and even included a little recipe to get you started!.
Cheesecake Push pops
Cookies & Cream
Strawberries and Cream
Lemon Meringue Pie

Frozen pops- ice cream or frozen yogurt
Triffle shooter


Tiramisu Shooter

Take savoiardi biscuits (sponge finger biscuits) and soak in expresso for 5 minutes
They should be soft enough to cut up and put a small layer in the pop container
Mix one part pouring cream to 3 parts to Mascarpone 
Layer the cream mixture on top of the biscuits, crush some flake chocolate of top of the cream mixture.
Repeat the layers so that you finish with the crushed flake.
Push and Enjoy!!!
