Create an Award-Winning Dessert Bar
Creating a stunning Dessert Bar with various delectable + dazzling desserts is a bona fide winner for any award show viewing party! Join our friend and Hollywood Event Designer, Troy Williams to make sure you have all the most stylish desserts for your award show party this Sunday.
Sweet E’s Bake Shop created a dazzling dessert display for us that you can showcase at your own award show viewing party and they were kind enough to share their easy recipe on how to create cake pops with award-winning bling!
Hollywood Award Show Cake Pops
This Hollywood Award Show Cake Pop recipe is super easy to make and doesn’t require any fancy equipment like a cake pop maker.
The one specialty item you’ll definitely need to make this treat Academy-worthy are gold sprinkles. We found them at craft stores like Michaels or Jo-Ann stores, but you also can check your neighborhood cooking supply store as well.

Hollywood Award Show Cake Pops
Author: Erica Tucker - Sweet E's Bake Shop
Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 9” x 13” cake
- Cake Pop Sticks
- Chocolate Candy Melts
- 1 Cup of Frosting
- Sprinkles – Gold preferred for the award season
Instructions
- Bake a cake using your favorite recipe or boxed mix. Follow the recipe instructions + once the cake is fully baked, let it completely cool.
- After the cake is cooled, crumble it up into a large mixing bowl using your hands. Then mix in about 1 full can of your favorite frosting until it has the texture of a fudgy brownie.
- Once you mix in your frosting, roll the mixture into 2” balls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (TIP–Use a melon baller or small ice cream scooper to form perfectly round balls.)
- Put your tray into the freezer for at least 1 hour until the cake feels firm.
- Take your cake balls out of the freezer and place a lollipop stick into the center of each. Then dip it into your favorite melted chocolate. (*TIP – Best to use Wilton chocolate candy melts. They’re available in supermarkets and craft stores in a variety of flavors.)
- Add gold sprinkles or colored sugar while the chocolate is still wet. Or dress up your cake pops even more + get extra creative by designing an edible tuxedo or red carpet gown for them.
- After decorated, set aside to dry for approx. 5-10 min.
- Enjoy with La Crema Pinot Noir or Chardonnay
(*TIP – you can wrap each cake pop in a cellophane bag or even without and add a pretty ribbon to the lollipop stick to make an award-winning party favor!)
Pass the Golden Popcorn, please!
No award show viewing party is complete without hot + fresh popcorn, but for the biggest award show of the year you have to make it EXTRA special and throw some golden glamour it’s way.
See the recipe below for how simple it is to create this “Golden” Popcorn to WOW your guests and give your dessert table an extra close-up of Hollywood style.

The Supporting Cast of Desserts
Without a doubt, the rest of your dessert table is also going to impress your guests when you add these delightful confections to the mix also.
• Logo Cookies
Logo Cookies are the extra special attention to detail at your party that guests will be blown away by when they see them.
*TIP – Have them created in each of the nominated films or your favorite actor + actresses’ names to give your award show viewing party even more pizazz.
Lastly, here’s some ideas to finish off your table with the rest of these amazing treats to enjoy with your La Crema wine:
• Mini Cupcakes
• Gold French Macarons
