early baby = no cupcake pops

 We were planning another baby shower for someone at my office.  And I was asked to make cupcake pops (you might remember these cupcake pops from several months ago).  On Tuesday, I made the cake so it would have plenty of time to cool and it would be one step out of the way.  I planned to finish up the pops on Wednesday night for the shower on Thursday.

Very unexpectedly, the mom-to-be went into labor on Wednesday afternoon.  No need for the cupcake pops, since the shower was being indefinitely postponed.

But I still had a chocolate cake.  I whipped up some chocolate frosting and put some m&m's on top.  Not my prettiest cake, but for something that started out to be a pop, I think it turned out okay. 

We had a "yay! the baby came" cake.
