| Bring a tray of brownies or cookies and offer to the adults after all the kids have gotten cake pops |

| Why don't you just buy a cake and have enough for everyone. To me it's better to be a good host and offer party food to all your guests than having precious little cake pops that cost a fortune. |

I would happily eat a cake pop. What is wrong with you people?!
OP, I'd either forego the cake pops, if you don't want to provide them for the adults, and get a regular cake, or make sure you have another kind of dessert for the adults. Provide food for the adults, too. |

Yeah, and I think even the anti-carb mommies are more likely to have a "bite" of a cake pop rather than a piece of cake. If you can't afford it for everyone, get a cheaper dessert. |

| I cannot be the only mom in DC who would eat a freaking cake pop. Come on they're like the size of a quarter. |

People here think they're "classy" by saying things they'd never do, meanwhile they're all wearing Old Navy joggers and scarfing down Oreos and Doritos when nobody is looking. |

| I think it depends on the venue set-up and if parents are sticking around or not. If it's a drop-off party at your home, maybe have some extras for siblings or parents who are so inclined at pick-up if people will be coming into your home to pick up, but it's not necessary. If you'll have some people who'll stay the whole time, I'd have *something* to offer. For my son's last birthday party (at Zava Zone) a fair number of parents stuck around, but probably 3 of the 12 had a cupcake. I liked being able to offer though, and not worry about running out, so I could offer them to siblings who were there for pick-up also. |

I hate parties where adults all stand around watching kids eat. I went to a party a couple years ago where there were only kids chairs, and only enough for the actual kids. Parents all stood awkwardly in a circle around the kids’ table while they ate pizza and cake. There weren’t even enough drinks for the parents. So weird.

Because I hate serving cake. It’s messy and time consuming. And I hate cupcakes with all that icing. I think cake pops are so cute and will go nicely with the theme. |

| Get cake pops for the kids and a regular sheet cake for extra sense maybe the kids want seconds too. |

| Just get a cake instead of cake pops. Most adults probably won't eat the cake (or cake pops) but it would be rude to only offer dessert to the kids. |

The venue provides cupcakes which I was going to decline. Should I get the cupcakes? I figured parents wouldn’t want their kids clamoring for a cake pop and a cupcake. |
