Kris and I spent the other weekend prepping for one our good friends birthday parties, Ms. Sarah Mitchell that is, by making pops and shots. Cake pops and battleshots that is.
We'll begin with the making of battleshots!!! Battleshots if you aren't familiar, is a larger version of Battleship but your ships are made of shots. Kris decided to make a battleshots game for Sarah's birthday party and it was AWESOME!! He went to the hardware store and bought 3 boards and some spray paint. I have to admit that I was a bit hesitant at first but it was a huge hit. Board pieces include 5 "shot-ships" on each side including one, five shot-ship; one four shot-ship; two three shot-ships; and one two shot-ship. No one was into getting schwasted so we played in two person teams. You can fill your shotships with any type of adult beverage you'd like. I, of course, filled mine with wine. I wasn't exactly taking shots of wine, it was more like sipping. One cannot or should I say should not, shoot wine. Not so tasty.

Sarah like myself has a strong affinity for dessert, especially chocolate desserts. With that in mind, I decided upon making chocolate cake pops. In addition, I also made red velvet and white cake pops.
