Cupcakes & Cake Pops

This weekend I will be attending a bridal shower for my dear friend since elementary school.  I volunteered to make the pastries, as I think it's more special when it comes from someone you know.  I took much consideration in creating the perfect desserts for this friend, as I found out her favorite flavors are Strawberry and Chocolate.  I also know that her wedding colors are black and white (with possibly a hint of some other bright color).

Everyone does cupcakes for these types of events, so I thought outside the box a little bit on this particular occasion.  What if I created 2 kinds of cupcakes: Strawberry with a Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing and a Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream Icing?  Not only that, but what if I created Cake Ball Pops with the left over cake and put the opposite flavor of Cake Ball Pop into the other Cupcake?  OMG, what a fantastic idea!!

For the Strawberry Cake Balls, I dipped them in pink chocolate and donned them with flash frozen strawberry pieces...they look absolutely adorable (like pink flowers).  For the Chocolate Cake Balls, I dipped them in Milk Chocolate and decorated them with a Malt Ball Crunch for texture.

Here are the results:
