Our pumpkin carving party is just a few weeks from now and I’ll be serving my guests these silly little Pumpkin Spice Jack-O-Lantern Rice Krispie Treat Pops on some new custom-designed stands from Cake Pop Stand Co.
Aren’t those jack-o-lantern pop stands cool?
They were designed for me by Janine of the Cake Pop Stand Co. Each wood stand has holes that are the perfect size for paper straws and are spaced far enough apart to display my Rice Krispie treat pops.
Each stand even has a little bling along the edges. They are really sturdy and held up my set of lollipops with ease.
I am really excited to have these on my table this Halloween to showcase these Pumpkin Spice Jack-O-Lantern Treats.
I’ll also be making some lollipops using a set of pumpkin embellished straws. She has a wonderful selection of paper straws.
This year, there will be no shrieking or shrinking, just big smiles. Big toothy grins. Just like on these silly jack-o-lanterns.
Each of these Rice Krispie treat pops has been dipped in Pumpkin Spice Candy Melts so they not only look like pumpkins but taste like them too. I couldn’t help but eat one, and I know my party guests are going to love them. The candy coating has just the right amount of pumpkin spice flavor and it pairs so well with the Rice Krispie treats. I need to store these under lock and key so I don’t eat any more before the party.

Love these. I am always completely amazed at your creativity and awesomeness. I have been looking at a smaller mold like this for days now trying to think of something fun and unique to do with it and here you've amazed us all…again. Thanks for sharing.
I love all the content here, couldn't ask for anything more!
This is a great idea. How did you do the faces on the cake stand itself. Does it come with it? Or did you print it out yourself, if so can you share where you got the color/shapes, Thanks?
Genie, Janine added the faces to my stands. If you are interested in having anything special on your stands, I'm sure she'll be willing to work with you. She is very creative. I just told her we were having a pumpkin carving party and she came up with the design. I love them!
Hi, Genie. I'd be happy to help you with any customizations you would like for your cake pop stands. You can email me at Janine@cakepopstandco.com
