Boy or Girl?
Gender reveal baby showers where Mom and Dad fill everyone in on their baby’s sex is at an all-time high. Some parents are asking the doctor to write down the baby’s sex on a note card in a sealed envelope. They then hand that envelope to the baker, who then makes a cake that’s gender neutral on the outside and either pink or blue on the inside. Guests of the baby shower then make predictions before the big reveal and when Mom and Day cut the cake, everyone finds out what their expecting.

Folks always seem to be on the fence with cake pops. Most of the time you either like them or you just don’t. We, at Mix N Match Bake Shop, happen to adore them!
A cake pop is a dense ball of cake, generally coated with chocolate or some other kind of sweet shell. They also are placed on a type of lollipop stick. Cake pops offer the fun and versatility of a lollipop, with the scrumptiousness of cake, but maintains a look of sophistication. They also can be topped with a variety of decorations such as sprinkles, fondant designs, sugar crystals and much more!
With so many types of occasions to celebrate, cake pops can be made to fit right in. It can be a wonderful treat for Birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, holiday parties and any other celebration that you want to chow down on some delicious treats. A great personal treat, cake pops also make for lovely favors for your guest. These lovely treats can even be made into edible bouquets that can be used for unique center pieces for your wedding reception.
