Hello there! Kara Praed<\/strong> here from Freshly Baked Confections <\/a>+ Petite Sweets<\/em><\/strong> — and I am so excited to\u00a0be posting as a guest on Anders Ruff’s blog!<\/p>\n

Usually, I\u00a0am a “team of one” creating specialty treats<\/strong> for Freshly Baked’s<\/em> clients, so I am always on the lookout for shortcuts that deliver quality without sacrificing creativity. Anders Ruff custom printables are my “go-to” shortcut of choice — and their adorable Nautical Patterned Paper printables<\/a><\/strong> put the wind in the sails of these nautical cake pops created on very short notice for a client in Annapolis, MD who loves boating!<\/p>\n

With just 24 hours notice to create pops for\u00a0this client’s\u00a0off-shore luncheon on\u00a0the Chesapeake, \u00a0I knew I had to keep the treats super simple. No time for fancy shapes or designs\u00a0– but these paper sails<\/strong> provided\u00a0just the\u00a0custom touch and “wow factor” I was looking for — with time to spare.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t these treats be a darling addition to a baby shower or little boy’s birthday party? Just mix in some of the super-cute nautical d\u00e9cor below\u00a0(all on sale and available online right now at Pottery Barn Kids, by the way!<\/em>) on your dessert table, and everything will be smooth sailing! <\/strong><\/p>\n

What’s your favorite go-to shortcut?<\/strong> Share your time-saving tips and secrets by posting a comment below<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Also be, sure to check out the Two Sugar Babies’<\/a> Neverland Pirates Party where she used sails on the cake pops to represent pirate ships! So clever!<\/p>\n

You can purchase the set of\u00a0 TEN 8.5×11 Patterned Papers from the Anders Ruff shop (for instant download upon purchase!) in the shop here.<\/a><\/p>\n
