[Trend Alert] - Cake Pop Cakes

When it comes to weddings, there are constantly new trends coming about (i.e. mason jars, 'vintage', birdcage veils, etc.)  Well, one of the latest trends I've been seeing all over is a cake pop cake.

I just can't decide if I love this trend... It could be fun to simply hand out the cake pops rather than cut up a cake and certainly makes clean up much easier.  But I think I love a traditional wedding cake too much to not have one.  Maybe this would work for the groom's cake?

What do you guys think?

What you need:

• 20 or so packs of Oreos (you may need more depending on the size you want)
• Circular Cake Stand/Platter
• Small Shot Glasses
• Milk

Steps to Create the Cake:

1. Begin stacking oreos on platter
2. Stack oreos 5 high to fill the entire bottom of the platter
3. For the next layer of 5, place the cookies about halfway in on the edge of the layer below
4. Continue stacking layers 5 cookies high for as many layers as desired.  We made 4 layers, but you can have as many as you'd like.
5. Place the shot glass around the table and add milk

No cutting needed, just grab a cookie and shot glass of milk and enjoy!
