Look what I got for xmas

The fun begins and I say fun because I think my addiction is more in designing than popsicles. The Zoku popsicle maker instantly freezes liquid and you can make really cool designed popsicles. Well so the recipe book shows at least but honestly I am not sure if I will ever achieve this after my first take.

I've only tried this thing out once and think its going to be a playdate staple...that is how this got its first test run. The girls thought it was so cool to instantly make popsicles. Mom thought it was cool to make fun designs or at least attempt because really these aren't so cool! 

All in all I think its a fun product but I am sure the novelty will wear off. Or hopefully not. I know Bethany got one, had issues, got another, had more issues and finally threw the towel in and Zoku then sent her a free one. Wow...a company that really stands behind their product with customer service. So they get an A for that. Mine worked totally fine out of the box. Oh and they get an A for a nicely designed product too. It's pretty sleek and very compact. It makes three pops at a time (7-10 minutes per 3) and you can get about 9 pops before they just won't freeze anymore. It's probably the size of a Turkey Hill quart.

Expect to see future posts with my creations!

Uber cool pop makers by Zoku

These are the cutest pops I have ever seen! Not sure if I am now noticing popsicle makers because I have a 5-year old who loves Popsicles or if they've always been out in droves this time of year but lately I have been seeing so many make your own popsicle products out there on shelves. Most are your typical pour some liquid in, place the stick portion in, and freeze but this one looks so cool. A company based in Hoboken NJ, Zoku, came up with these super fun popsicle makers, the Zoku Quick Pop Maker. The product itself has superior design over any popsicle makers I have ever seen and according to the site the pop freezes in seven minutes oh and without electricity. Wow!


Apparently just like an ice cream maker it has a canister that you must freeze and once frozen you take it out and pour your liquids directly in the molds and voila...popsicles in 7 minutes right before your eyes. And because it freezes instantly you can be super creative with layering colors and flavors and even freeze a shell to pour another flavor into. Can you say creamsicles...yum! Not sure I'd spring $49.95 for a popsicle maker when I can use the $1 version I just got at Target but this unit is super cool and could be lots of fun. It's the instant factor that is so intriguing. Check out the magic in the Williams-Sonoma how-to video on their site. Pretty cool both literally and figuratively!
