Once again....an idea inspired by Pinterest. My secretary was turning 30 and I wanted to try to recreate something like the variations of this project I saw on pinterest. Basically it's a "cake" made out of lollypops with a sign on it that says "30 sucks" or "40 sucks" etc. you could also get blow pops and have it say "30 blows" lol.....
ok, so I bought the required amount of lollypops (make sure you are buying enough....i was 2 shy when i bought two bags haha) and you'll need some kind of styrofoam base (dollar tree). I got a ring shaped one but you could be creative with this. I saw a lot of variations on this from a "cake" to just a box filled with pops. Then you need some kind of sign.
Here's how mine tuned out....not exactly the picture I had in my head but after this go, I have more and better ideas for next time!
So overall, this cost about $5 to make ($4 for lollypops and $1 for the base. I had the ribbon and wooden circle used to make the sign). You could also use paper for the sign. You can get cheaper/smaller lollypops (dumdums) if you're doing a high number birthday. But I don't think you can skip on the styrofoam base or else you'll just get frustrated. Unless your goal is just to thrown them in a small bag or box and not be creative at all ;)
