    Help! How to present cake pops for baby shower?

    I am making ABC-cube cake-pops for my co-worker's baby shower. How do I present the cake pops once they are decorated? As in: What do I put them in? I want them standing up if possible, so the deco doesn't get ruined (not sure how well the deco will set).

    Any ideas? I heard of wrapping polystyrene (sp?) in giftwrap.... But where would I get polystyrene from???

    Arrggghhh HELP!!!

    (PS: The baby shower is tomorrow )

    What about that green stuff florists use? Florist foam? You could cover it and poke them in?

    That's what the cake pop book I had said to use You could cover it in a pretty crepe paper and poke the sticks through...

    Yep I've used a block from the florist before (I think it's called oasis). It only cost me a dollar and then I covered it in patterned tissue paper. Looked very pretty and the cake pops were a huge hit!

    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.
