"Sprinkling" Some Moms-To-Be With Love and Pops!

A few weeks ago my friend Heather asked me if I was interested in making some cake pops for a "Baby Sprinkle" that she and her mom were throwing for her sister and sister-in-law.  What is a Baby Sprinkle you ask?  Well both these moms-to-be are expecting baby #2, so rather than having another full-blown shower, a sprinkle is a smaller-scale affair that helps build the new baby's wardrobe and collection of things.  Such a cute idea, right?  Naturally I agreed to make some sweets for this sweet event! 

The theme for the sprinkle was jungle/safari animals, so I chose to make lion and monkey cake pops to go along with this theme.

Here are my little peanut-butter lions: 

Aren't they adorable?!? I think that they look like they are either surprised, or like they have a good secret.  

I was SO happy with how this pride of lions turned out!

I had a left over chocolate-dipped pop from my monkeys, so I decided to try out a little brown lion.  How fabulous is he!?! I think he's my favorite of all :)

Now, here is my band of silly little monkeys:

I think they look a little crazy and mischievous just like real monkeys, don't you?

These jungle friends came out better than I could have hoped for too!

This is the whole safari bunch ready for action:

And lastly, here is how the whole gang looked on display at the sprinkle:

I couldn't have been more pleased with how the final product looked.

I am happy to say that Heather and her mom both loved how the pops turned out.  It was the best feeling to see how happy they were when I dropped them off this afternoon.  It was also a fabulous feeling to get asked where I got the pops and reply, "I made them!"  Go me!!!

The feedback after the sprinkle was that they were a huge hit and apparently there were none left over at the end! Another successful batch of pops...hooray!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my latest adventures in cake pops...I know I really enjoyed making them!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog everyone and eat those sweets!
