March Madness: Get your Popcorn Ready

March Madness is upon us!

For all of you College Basketball fans,

I have an easy and inexpensive popcorn bar

that has something for everyone!

This past week we celebrated March Madness 

at my daughters school by

rolling a Basketball themed Popcorn Cart

through the halls after school.

If you are looking for a fun way to decorate 

your table why not use a basket or large bowl

that you have on hand wrapped in a basketball goal?

 

I purchased this basketball goal at Target for around $5.

Small price and big impact!

What do you think?

Add in some yarn poms around the base,

extra cheerleader poms,

polka dot popcorn bags

and seasoning!

Happy March Madness!

Cupcake and Cocoa Party

I absolutely love this time of year!

The little ladies of the house wanted

to celebrate the season with a few friends.

They chose to decorate cupcakes and have some yummy cocoa!

Perfect combination if you ask me!

I found these Meri Meri cupcake stands at Homegoods!

They were perfect for displaying the undecorated cupcakes.

It was also the inspiration to use reindeer throughout the table decor.

  

I took some simple white aprons and added

the ruffles for a more festive look.

They added a decorative touch to the chairs as well.

  

Reindeer place settings and Christmas Tree

photo stands made a great place card holder.

Before the cupcake decorating began,

the girls made these festive Christmas trees

out of card stock and cupcake liners!

Simple and inexpensive craft!

 

 I decorated Starbucks coffee bottles with a little felt

to make a scarf and some buttons!

The kids loved drinking their strawberry milk out of these.

They enjoyed snowmen white chocolate covered oreos 

and chocolate peppermint cake balls.

 Marshmallow Cocoa Bites were the hit of the party!

These were made by dipping the marshmallow in chocolate,

breaking off the stick of a

mini peppermint stick and inserting into the side.

Top them off with mini marshmallows!

 To top it all off...as if there hasn't been enough sugar...

they enjoyed a little hot cocoa too!

 The Cupcake Ladies had a blast decorating with different frosting,

sprinkles and candy decor.

 

They were all sugared up and ready to head home with their 

cupcake creations in these reindeer cupcake boxes!

We had so much creating this simple and fun party!

I hope you can spend a little time with the ones you 

love this holiday season!

Meow....At the Moon

I had to share this with all of you!

My mom was visiting this weekend and we were planning to attend

a Halloween Party!

It just happened to be here birthday as well!

I have used so many professional bakeries over the years and

had my eye on one weekly for about a year...

and you will never guess where!

Albertson's Grocery store!

I have paid big bucks for specialty cakes!

I could see that this store was different and wanted to give it a shot!

Well, I am so glad I did!

The cake was exactly like I wanted and she did it all for $50!

 

So, check with you local grocery stores...You never know!

 

Here is the beautiful cake!

 

 



Easy and Spooky Cake Pops!

Looking for a fun and easy way to serve up your

Halloween Cake Pops?

I have the solution!

All you need is:

Bone Favors

Plastic Teeth

Basic Cake Pop recipe

First, trim off one end of a bone favor to make

the end more like a stick.

Next, make your basic cake pops in any flavor.

Using the bone favor, dip into the chocolate candy coating

and insert into the cake pop.

Continue by dipping the entire cake pop in the chocolate

candy coating.

Once you have the amount you want,

 store them in the refrigerator.

Next, fill your platter with the plastic teeth 

in any design you want.

I alternated the purple and lime green on a white platter

to add color.  

White teeth would be great as well on a black platter.

Under the black light....

Finally place a cake pop in the opening of the teeth!

Happy Halloween!
