One of the ladies at our church is having a baby in June, and so we wanted to throw her a baby shower. I love planning events, so even though I'd never even been to a baby shower- let alone hosted one, I decided this was something I wanted to do.
We went with the theme "Ready to POP". This left for a lot of creativity when it came to the food. We had cake pops, pop corn cake, pink pop and poppable cucumber sandwiches.

| A sweet friend of mine gave me the chocolate melter from babycakes. While it did a good job keeping the chocolate warm, I had to actually melt the chocolate in the microwave. But I very much appreciated it. |
 |
| I bought marked down Easter sprinkles from Aldi- perfect baby shower colors |
 |
| Pink vanilla flavored Candy Wafers from Hobby Lobby. |
 |
| Mmmmmm |
 |
| Baby colors sprinkles |
THEN, through
pinterest I found this recipe for pop corn cake. It's made just like a rice crispy bar. I also found these new dark chocolate raspberry (pink) M&Ms, pretzels and Market Pantry microwave pop corn.
 |
| First, you pop 2 bags of pop corn, then you add 2 cups of M&Ms and 1 1/2 cup broken pretzels. |
 |
| Then I melted one (10.5 oz) bag of mini marshmallows with 1 cup of butter. |
 |
| It said to wait a minute or two, so it wouldn't melt the chocolate, which I did, but it still melted. :( So maybe wait a little more. Then poor over dry ingredients, stir together, and press into bunts pan. |
 |
| Let sit for an hour, take out and... VOILA!!! |
 |
| M-m-m!!! |
 |
| And these are the yummy strawberry cake pops. |
 |
| How cute is that!? :) |
