Cake pops at birthdays - provide for parents also?

This is getting weird. I know how they're made, having made way more than I care to remember, but what does it really matter? I don't see that anyway except in the weird fondant poster.

The icing is gross. Cake pops taste like the center of an Oreo. No thanks.

There’s no “icing” on a cake pop! They’re dipped in melted chocolate. What’s gross about chocolate?

Are you confusing a cake pop with something else, like the fondant poster is doing? No icing, nothing resembling the center of an oreo.

Adults don’t want cake pops, sorry. Anyone who does is weird.

I personally don't like cake pops but that doesn't mean I think any other adult who likes them is weird. I hope you can get some more sleep this weekend so you can stop being so obnoxious.

Please, tell me what else I'm not supposed to want. I always pick up a lollipop on my way out of the barbershop. Is that okay? How about some cotton candy at the ballpark, can I have that? Am I allowed to eat a chicken nugget every now and then? What about an ice cream cone, can I have that? Okay if I grab a licorice stick here and there? Please, share this list of things I'm allowed to have so I don't embarrass myself anymore.

None of the parents in my circles would eat a cake pop from a random bakery.

It’s already bad enough that at the stupid preschool venues that there aren’t enough chairs, for pete’s sake have some refreshments for the parents. Parents are more likely to eat a cake pop than cake because it’s easier to eat one handed standing up and it’s a controlled amount.

Who raised you people?

Agree. For a drop off party, only get enough for the kids. Otherwise yes, have enough for the adults. PS I love cake, cupcake, cake pops.

It seems to be the trend now to not provide adults with food or drinks, and everyone just stands around and watches the kids eat and the parents eat the leftovers. If it were me I'd offer food because I just think it's nicer. I would eat a cake pop. ?.

I feel like anyone who makes sweeping judgements about how an entire group of people "don't want" a food item is the one who is weird.

Instead of cake pops, the new trend is Arendelle cones.

I would rather eat the quarter. Cake pops are basically a wad of nasty fondant with a teaspoon of undercooked sludge cake inside. Eww.

For real. Cake pops are nasty. Look up how they are made. It is pretty much under cooked cake with some additives mixed in, then ground all up in a food processor and mushed up in someone’s hands into a ball. Gag.

My kid LOVES cake pops. She always wants one when we go to the Zoo.

If it's not a drop-off party, you have food for everyone there. Heck, my kid's parties are drop-off now, and I always plan to have extra cake to offer parents when they come to pick up their kid.
