Good morning PopStars🤩 We are thrilled to be returning to work, here are some important dates to lock in🔐 There are lots of fun, free events to check us out at and get you hand on that first cm.pop of the season🥳
We have also done a major overhaul to our website!! This means we are ready to hear about your events, birthdays, weddings and more! Reach out to us via our site to learn more about how you can get your event POPPIN OFF😋🍓🍋🟩🍍🥭
Acts fast because our calendar is filling up
If you know us then you know we are dedicated to the field of Popology and will be coming out with some fresh new offerings this year🙂 Can’t wait to see your smiling faces✌🏾✌🏾
Happy Friday PopStars💫 bringing another 🔥 BTS popsicle video to you, this time we’re looking at how our new flavor MELONTOPIA🍉 comes together!
Really want to emphasize the farm to face aspect of this one, it’s a pop featuring produce from two local farms: cantaloupe via @westmorelandproduce & watermelon from @bartenfelderfarms
The best ingredients make the best popsicles and this one is a true testament to that😆💪🏾 Get your hands on one this weekend at the markets and the MELTDOWN event💜🍦
Our top pop ‘Tropical Creamsicle’ all fruit, full flavor, no sugar added🏆 Kids love it, vegans love it, diabetics love it. That’s why popsicles are just the ultimate food: intersectionality 💫

Our seasonal banger the ‘Strawberry Mango’ is back with a twist😉 normally we blend everything up into a homogenous mixture but for these we decided to do something that would be a feast for the eyes as well💫
We keep this one seasonal because those farm fresh berries hit so different

Here we go with part 2 of how we finish our ‘Mango Lemonade’ 🍋🥭 Our last post sparked quite the conversation😂 We are conscious of sugar consumption and we’re really just experimenting with ways to use the entire fruit, this whole idea came about as a way to be less wasteful and create some more 🔥 for your taste buds.
We finished this batch of 8 gallons by using about 3\4 of the original batch of sweetener. We are brand new to doing this so we’re not sure if the methods were the most efficient but we got that mango flavor and sweetness into the drink at the end of the day.
To elevate this mango lemonade even more we offered an option to add a ‘Strawberry Mango’ pop as ice for the drink, truly next level stuff!! Lots of ppl were enjoying it but I have to think about the price, as you can see it’s a lot of work to produce and I have to time it right to make the drink right before my events. Well had to take a look at how we can consistently do this!
We’ve gotten so many ideas from your feedback and can’t wait to work them into practice😊 #mango #mangolemonade #lemonade #craftdrinks #smallbusiness
The process behind our new ‘Mango Lemonade’ is second to none! So much care & intention goes into everything we make. This treat is extra good because we get to use the entire mango, flesh for pops and the rest to infuse our sugar with fresh fruit flavor. The process is different than heating up mangos in a simple syrup, we keep it cold throughout as to preserve that tangy, sweet mango flavor. Heat changes the flavor of fruit, just think about a fresh peach vs peach cobbler, two diff flavor profiles.
We’re making a bunch for this weekend, hope to see you soon✌🏾🫶🏾

Lil recap of the @flowermartbmore this past weekend. We created a super special ‘lemon stick’ inspired pop for the occasion and wowwwww one of the most artful creations to come from our kitchen.
It’s made of layered lemon cheesecake and strawberry with a turmeric dyed, white chocolate dip🔥 It was a stunner, visually and gastronomically😊
It’s always so good to share our food with new ppl, we’re still getting our name out there and this was a fantastic showcase for us!
We’ll be making a few more of the lemon stick pops for this weekend due to popular demand! Check us out at #REMFEST and @catonsvillesundayfarmersmarket this weekend to get yer fix✌🏾🫶🏾

Running through pinas like a boss💪🏾 We use fresh pineapple for 2 of our core 4 flavors: Tropical Creamsicle & Cucumber Pineapple
Always starts off fresh and the main reason for that is flavor. It would be less expensive and take less time to crack open a commercial sized can of pineapple chunks and use those but that just wouldn’t be us. We choose to do things the hard way because it tastes better! Period!
Appreciate everyone supporting the biz, we know there are cheaper options but thank you for valuing what we do over here at cm.pops 🫶🏾

Check out how we make our decadent ‘Chocolate Peanut Butter’ pops😄 Unlike the other fruit based options but our take on this classic pairing is premium to its bones and a treat you won’t be disappointed by! Chefs choice right here👍🏾

We have 2 events this weekend and both are set to be really busy! The @flowermartbmore and opening day of the @catonsvillesundayfarmersmarket will have us busy all week prepping!
Making the pops starts at the store where we get a lot of top notch produce. This hauls required me to go to 3 different grocery stores in my area😮💨 Just to get the precise item needed to create premium popsicles. Over time I’ve found that you can’t get stuff from just anywhere: Giant won’t have the quality coconut milk I need, can’t get mangos from Sam’s cause they’re rock hard.
It’s a bit of running around but damn do I love using the best ingredients. Just to be extra prepared for this weekend I’m going to make at least 1200 pops. The weather is looking ehh but we should still be busy

This ‘Watermelon Mango Lemonade’ is truly next level🤯
•
We have created a small menu of drinks options as we make our foray into other products. This lemonade is unique in its sweetener as we’re using a house made mango syrup created from extracting the juices from real mango over 48hrs🔥 Fresh squeezed lemon juice and filtered water finish off this part of the drink.
•
The other half is simply but delicious, cold pressed watermelon juice🍉 The drink comes to be about 50/50 lemonade & watermelon juice creating insane fruit flavor you can’t get from a bottle. Super refreshing, it was great to hear the reviews on this one.
•
We are especially excited to be using the entire fruit in the things we make. Going forward we are making a commitment to sustainability by using as much of the pits, pulp, peels and rinds as we can to make drinks, syrups or other products.

Check our events calendar to see where we’re poppin next OR go to our sit to book us for an event!👍🏾

Not sure if I posted this interview when it happened but just look at us casually blowing the minds of the @baltimorefox45 😆 Absolutely love sharing the pops with first time tasters and seeing their reactions.
A big thank you to @myfairladyt for the invitation. It was fun answering their questions and sharing a bit more about why we’re special. We are so excited to return and have been hard at work preparing💪🏾 #BaltimoreBusiness #cmpops #popsicle
