I hope this post puts a smile on your face when you see these cute animal cake pops from parties on our site! I'm always impressed by the creativity of all the bakers and cake pop artists who can achieve so much with cake, frosting, and chocolate. Kudos. I'm smiling...

Definitely make sure to see the horse cake pops and the cow cake pops. Those are my favorite.

Here are my favorite parties for the week...

One of my favorite themes for boy 1st birthdays and baby showers is Sock Monkey parties. They have a built in retro feel and you can decorate them so easily with sock monkey toys (and other vintage toys), sock monkey cake pops, cookies, and printables!
