Rebecca Underly knows the diplomatic hurtles it can take to satisfy even the pickiest birthday kid when it comes to his big day. After all, she used to be the pastry chef at Blair House (that’s the President’s guest house, FYI) so compromise might be her middle name. That means your best birthday pal can have his cake and eat it too, even if he’s not a guest of the Prez. Whether it’s a dozen purple and green cake pops, a layer cake piled high with sprinkles, or a construction site for your best digger. Bonus? She can also do cupcakes and cookies if you just want finger food goodies.

Alexandria Cake Pop Company
Cake Pops are all the rage right now and you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t jumped on the bandwagon. But if you’ve ever tried to make your own, you know the struggle it is to get just the right amount of batter and have it stay on a stick. That’s why we love Alexandria Cake Pop Company. They use a perfect combo of yummy frosting to tasty cake, ensuring that little ones (and big ones!) chow down on delicious, incredibly decadent pops. And because the “cake” comes on a stick, it’s super convenient and just the right size for mini-celebrants.
