Since the party was an outdoor water/splash party, the theme was an ocean one (or in Corynn's view, a mermaid one). So, I decided to make ocean cake pops. As you can see, the three chosen creatures were turtles, fish and octopi. I have since decided that cake pops will be made only when there is no other event preparation to be done (such as, and entire party for nearly 20 children). They are quite time-consuming, and there is a Large learning curve. (If you ever need to ask what NOT to do, you'll have to call me, as there's too much to say through typing).
In any case, the cake pops were a huge hit with both kids and parents. And, unlike cupcakes, the kids ate the whole thing (my experience with cupcakes is that kids lick the frosting off and toss the rest). The down side is that Corynn now thinks we should be making cake pops all the time (she has requested various princesses, but that's not happening). I have decided to take advantage of this situation, however, and am now using cake pops as my newest bribery technique...
