i don’t know if bakerella invented cake pops, but i first discovered them on her wildly popular site. since i can’t imagine creating my own cake pops any time soon i was one happy chica to learn that there’s a new cake pop biz right outside of dc called alexandria cake pop company. and their tag line? “imagine the popsibilities.”

how freakin’ cute is that?!

started by two friends, tamara wilson and emily baird, alexandria cake pop company has a whole slew of fun designs and flavors. and they’ve got valentine’s day cake pops! check out these babies…

emily said their cake pops have been an absolute smash at children’s birthday parties, and there are a kazillion other celebrations that cake pops would be perfect for like bridal showers, weddings, baby showers and such. but do you really need a reason to eat a sweet treat on a stick? i think not. helllloooooo… it’s wednesday, how about a cake pop?!

to get some of your very own, just order online at alexandriacakepops.com and they’ll deliver within northern virginia and maryland. prices start at $29.99 for a dozen. the ladies donate 5% of all proceeds to operation second chance which helps wounded, injured and ill veterans.

so go forth and eat cake…pops!
