Recognize the face on these cake pops? Artist's creations are next-level

DijoneĆ© Sandoval was 15 when she first began to bake. ā€œGrowing up being Mexican-American, you know, my grandma cooked, my mom cooked, but nobody really baked,ā€ she told Yahoo. Now the sweet entrepreneurā€™s mixed her Latina culture and passion for confections to create one of the most adorable, and her most popular, treats ā€” Frida cake pops.

The treats are a one-of-a-kind homage to Mexican artist and icon Frida Kahlo. ā€œI decided to do Frida because I feel like sheā€™s such an important part of our community,ā€ Sandoval said. ā€œSheā€™s bold, she really didnā€™t care what people thought, and I feel even being part of the baking industry you kind of have to stand out.ā€ Sandoval, known as Momma Dee Sweets on social media, is following suit with her colorful cake pops ā€” and bonus, she also has caramel apple Fridas!

Sandovalā€™s cake pops come in many flavors. The outer part is covered in chocolate: white chocolate for Fridaā€™s face and dark chocolate for her hair. The young Latina baker beautifully showcases her decorating skills in bringing Fridaā€™s face to life. ā€œI would say the most challenging part, whether itā€™s the cake pop or even the apples, is definitely the eyebrows,ā€ she said. ā€œThatā€™s what everybody knows her for, so I definitely have to make sure I live up to that standard, and make sure theyā€™re just right.ā€ Momma Dee, you nailed Fridaā€™s signature brows.

The colorful flower crown is also a must, and Sandoval unfailingly includes this very important detail. The individual flowers are made out of fondant and the earrings are sugar pearls. Her Frida pops have been a favorite among customers. Sandoval is taking her Momma Dee Sweets to the first-ever LatinaFest in Los Angeles on Aug. 25, a monumental event celebrating Latinas who are making an impact.
