My husband bought an exercise vest.
That he wears in public.
Is this grounds for divorce?
It looks like he has bombs attached to him like the bad guys in terrorist movies…
Yes, that’s him…getting ready to go out where living humans can see him.
This morning he put it on inside the house and did all sorts of weird calisthenics.
Some of those images can’t be erased.
I mean, I am all for keeping him healthy, yada yada…
but at what cost?
Tim Gunn, please hear my cry.
I just had to share that with y’all.
Misery loves company.
Back to things that make me happy: Push-Up Pops.
I did them a few months ago, but since then I got the fun book Push-Up Pops by my friend Courtney. Have you guys seen it? It’s super sweet and is chock-full with cute ideas! She did a rainbow version of the push-up pop in the book and my little guy loved it so much he asked if I could make them for the Spring Party in his classroom…but he specifically asked for “Easter” colors. That kid’s a thinker.
You can follow my step by step instructions here, or again, I certainly encourage you to get Courtney’s book 🙂
I used a vanilla boxed mix and divided the batter in half. I tinted one half pink and the other purple.
I baked the two colors in 9×13 baking dishes. You want them to be thin layers.
I used the push-up pops to poke circular pieces of the cake.
I made frosting using THIS RECIPE and tinted it spring time colors, yellow and green.
I used a ziplock bag to pipe the frosting into the pops.
Here’s the assembly process…
One round of purple cake topped with frosting…and if you’re feeling fancy add in some pastel sprinkles…
Then finish it by adding another cake layer in your other color and more frosting and sprinkles…
That’s it!

These are adorable! So spring-like!
Your husband’s exercise vest on the other hand… not so adorable but possibly spring-like?! LOL
This is one of those cases where you just…lie! Buy him a black jacket and tell everyone he’s a super important FBI agent and he has to wear a bullet proof best while he runs…or he’s on the bomb squad, or now that you don’t really “know” him but now that you’re a superfamous blogger, you’ve had to hire a bodyguard to protect you. If all else fails you can bribe people into silence with pushpops!
Could those get any cuter!? Adorable, I love it.
he he he, Where would we be without our husbands? This is the first time I have ever seen an exercise vest, I hope my hubby don’t get one! lol The main reason I am writing is about these push up pop cake things! WOW! First time I ever saw anything like this fantasticly fun looking and yummy too! thank you for sharing!
The pops are adorable! But how does one eat them?
I also have this great book and can’t wait to make some of these for our family’s Easter gathering.
What a fun looking dessert! I love the colors. Looks like a great easter dessert!
I think I’ll lay off my husband when he wears white socks with black shoes. 🙂 The vest cracks me up. I’ve never seen one before so what is it supposed to do?
It has weights in it, so I guess just make everything harder?!
Oh, i love it !!! Its so cute :**
So cute! I LOVE the spring colors!!
