Cake Pop Stand Idea

I made these cake pops for my daughter's birthday party at school. When it came to wondering how I would transport them all the way to school, I became inspired. I had some 2x4's that were in my woodpile and needed to be reused! So I cut the 2x4 to measure about a yard long to accommodate 30 cake pops. I then drilled 15 holes about a half inch deep on each side. I then painted the wood and made polka dots with different colors of paint. I wrote happy birthday with a paint pen across the wood. The cake pops arrived to school and not one fell over, success!!!!!!

Easter 2010

Grateful for my salvation!!! We here in Southern California got a good shake today. There was a 7.2 earthquake in Baja.

Let's see if one can buy groceries for a month, on 400 bucks for a family of 4. It takes a lot of planning to eat healthy and still accomplish this goal.
