    When DD had her 6th birthday party we did spooky cake pops. I used florist foam which I turned into a graveyard setting.

    For a baby shower yu could do a pot plant or a gift box filled with styrafoam and tissue paper. I've seen people use glass vases with stones. You could cut foam to make it look like a cake and cover with wrapping paper and then poke the cake pops all over... You could even make a foam cake and cover with fondant to get fancy.

    One of the ladies at my work makes them for us (she's a gem). She's made her own little 'pop holders'. They're basically a tissue box (or something similar) wrapped in some nice paper, and then she's punched holes in it using a skewer. She just puts the pops into the holes and because the box is reasonably deep compared to the length of the sticks (maybe half the depth) they stand up in there really well. And, she uses it over and over and over.

    Where would I get the florist's foam from?

    The florist?

    Haha I'm so clueless!

    Spotlight sells it. I think. That's where I got it from, but this was 4 years ago...

    Thanks heaps ladies for all your help!! Gotta love the BB community!

    I ended up buying polystyrene from Spotlight and wrapped it in giftwrap that matched the colour/design of my cake pops. It looked AWESOME!

    Thanks again!
