Mollie turned FIVE the week of Christmas, so the Saturday before I let her have her first friends birthday party. She had 4 friends over and we had a tea party. I had been so sick that week, and felt like cancelling it, but instead got drugged up on old c-section drugs and the show went on. Anyway, instead of a cake or cupcakes, I decided to try Cake Pops. Have any of you tried them before? They were a bit of a pain to make, and I didn't even taste them because I felt so crappy, but the kids loved them. It was a fun change - and when I put them in the little baggies they were perfect to send a few home with the girls in their treat bags. So, would I make them again. Maybe. Not 100% sure they were worth it - cupcakes are much easier . . . . but they were fun, and it might be fun to experiment with different characters like Bakerella does. We'll see . . .
I would have been sending my husband to the store to buy everything for the party. You are awesome for feeling so crappy and doing those cake balls because they are a pain. My kids like them though. That was a way cute party. We don't do parties every year around here and Ezra has never asked for one so they are few and far between but I might tackle the cake pops they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThose cake pops are so dang cute! We only do parties every other year and we keep it simple. Lauren actually has one coming up on Friday and I am tempted not to do a goodie bag - is it really necessary? I don't know.
