Post post-Weekend Update

Fourth of July Cake Pop Stand from Paper & Cake

I am still exhausted from the big 4th of July weekend. Was it all the swimming and biking and barbequing and partying? Maybe. Was it making the cake pops? mmm, more than likely.

Fourth of July Cake Pop Stand from Paper & Cake

We had two parties to attend on Monday, a small gathering at our neighbor's house across the street, and then the big block party - I signed up to bring dessert to both.

Both centerpieces were made using 3 flavors of cake, chocolate, lemon and carrot, covered with regular old vanilla candy melts. The containers were from Ikea - the white one is a ceramic planter and the BIG one is 3 different sized galvanized plant pots. I stuffed them with green floral foam pieces and covered that up with rice. Just a little bit (completely) over the top, don't you think?

What did you bring?
