National Cake Pop Day is observed worldwide every February 1, celebrating the popular dessert known as cake pops. This holiday was established by Angie Dudley, a baker and blogger from Atlanta, in 2012 to commemorate the anniversary of her first cake pop post on her website, Bakerella. Cake pops are bite-sized cakes shaped like lollipops and can be decorated in various styles, making them a fun treat for many occasions. The dessert gained popularity in the early 21st century, particularly after Dudley showcased her creations on The Martha Stewart Show. To celebrate, people often indulge in cake pops, either by making them at home or purchasing them from bakeries, and may even host cake pop decorating contests with friends. Participants are encouraged to share their creations on social media using the hashtag #NationalCakePopDay.
