Without the promise of sweets, mouths would never have the patience to stay open during dentist's appointments or closed during beekeeping demonstrations. Keep mouths copacetic with today's Groupon: for $18, you get one-dozen delivered cake pops from The Cake Poppery (a $36 value). Delivery is available within a 15-mile radius of Arnold, and those outside the delivery range can opt to have cake pops shipped for an additional $5, payable upon redemption.

The Cake Poppery's bakers roll 15 flavors of made-from-scratch, decorated cake-spheres onto sticks before furnishing doorsteps with their decadent handheld confections. Blur the border between meals with carrot-cake pops, which tend to savory hankerings and frustrate thieving rabbits bereft of opposable thumbs. Sweet teeth can lounge atop a spherical red-velvet cushion, and chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry pops appease tongues in pursuit of traditional dessert genres. Cinnamon pops, in addition to improving hand-to-mouth coordination, afford boogying party guests the spice and portability lacking in conventional pastries.

A colored base coating and two decorative colors cloak the pops in a dapper shell, augmenting their batter-orb with an additional sweetness. Pineapple cake can double its fruit factor with a cherry casing, and caramel miniplanets hoist force fields of dark chocolate in a futile attempt to ward off invading bicuspids.
