Yes, I know it should technically be Opossum Oparty. I wanted something to show my love of the Virginian Opossum so I created this little birthday party.
Possums are North America’s only native marsupial. In honor of the hard-working mama possums who carry their young in their mouth, this mama is throwing her babies a party.
The cupcakes all have various foods that possums like to eat, and the scene takes place at night as a nod to their nocturnal nature. Possums are wonderful for your yard and are incredibly fascinating creatures. Say hello to the next one you see and then politely keep your distance.
