Thank you Brawny® Tear-A-Square® for sponsoring this post. Think of all the ways you can Put a Square There! Popsicles are one of those recipes that is super easy to make, but feels like a real treat every time. My kids love to eat fruit, but turning their favorite fruits or fruit juices into popsicles instantly turns me into super-mom in their eyes! Bonus points if I can actually turn a dessert into a popsicle, like I did with these strawberries and cream popsicles!
Hi friends! Today I bring you an adorable bunny cake recipe that would be perfect to serve for your Easter celebrations or a bunny theme party! This cake is a nod to the Unicorn birthday cake I made for my daughter's 10th birthday party, and I love how it turned out! It looks beyond adorable and taste so good, but is super easy to bake and decorate as you'll see in a moment; and hope it inspires you to have a go to wow your family and guests this Easter! 😍
Saint Patrick's day is a few days away, and if you need a last-minute, fun rainbow dessert to serve at your party, then this rainbow chocolate bark is it! It's so fun to make (and eat), and the kids can totally get involved too! I've seen so many rainbow bark recipes over on Pinterest where you basically throw a bunch of colored candy onto melted chocolate. But I really wanted a distinctive and unique "rainbow look" to my bark, so today I'm sharing with you a couple of new ways to make rainbow chocolate bark! 🌈🍫
If you happen to have seen my last cookie cake recipe , you know how much I love making (and eating...) them! Cookie cakes have become my go-to dessert "centerpiece" for any festive occasion. Mainly due to their easy-to-make nature and the amount of fun they bring to any party table! Don't get me wrong, I love cake. But cookie cakes combine the best of the cookie AND cake world in one simple recipe! Hence my current obsession.
As promised in our Valentine's Day Crepe Party post from last week , today I'll be sharing the authentic French Crepes Pancake recipe with you! Aren't you lucky? 😋 As you probably noticed, we've been making a how-to video to go with our blog posts, in order to give a real in-depth look at all our making processes, be it a recipe, DIY or a party tablescape. And in today's blog post, I share my easy French Crepe recipe and techniques with you in video form again - with NO fancy crepe-making machine in sight!
If you've been following the blog for while, you probably noticed how much I looooove a grazing board or cheese platter for any parties I host. They're so easy to put together and a real hit with adults and kids alike! Since the Super Bowl is coming up, I thought I'd share a super fun to make appetizer for you to add to your grazing board or cheese platters! Oh, and did I mention it's football shaped, AND that we made a video? 🏈😍
As promised in last week's winter soup party post, today I'm sharing our go-to, delicious and healthy winter soup recipes. I say we, because in fact these are my husband's soup recipes and we even recorded a little video for you below to share how we made them! 😊
Cheese boards and cheese platters have been trending now for a couple of years, and I'm not surprised. They're a no-bake, quick and easy to assemble appetizer that packs the wow factor for any party! For my Thanksgiving celebrations , you probably saw that I served my cheese board with fruits and seasonal produce for a "harvest" bounty sort of feel. But for my Christmas cheese platter, I wanted a simpler appetizer that was also very festive and even easier to assemble than my traditional, full-on cheese board.
For my plaid tartan Christmas party , I set up a festive holiday bar, complete with this delicious Cranberry Vodka Christmas punch! This punch is such a quick and easy holiday drink to make, and you can totally omit the vodka, and let guests spike their own drinks if desired just before serving!
Thanksgiving is 'round the corner, and if you need a quick, easy and above all, no-bake dessert recipe; then this post is for you! 😉 As a lover of all things pumpkin and pumpkin spice, I was looking for tasty ways to use up the tons of pumpkins we have in the house this time of year... So I came up with these tasty parfaits that are slightly inspired by my pumpkin Tiramisu recipe, which I shared a few years ago here.
For my Dia de Los Muertos dinner part , I made delicious Mexican Almond Horchata to serve to my guests alongside our fun sugar skull cookies (recipe for the cookies here). Horchata is a delicious, non-alcoholic drink that is perfect for the whole family and ideal for fall entertaining! It's traditionally served cold over ice, but my kids love it as a warm drink on cold days!
My obsession with these cookie cakes started this summer when I made my very first cookie cake in the shape of a pineapple . Since then, I've been dreaming up other fun shapes to create, hence today's Jack-O'-Lantern inspired Halloween cookie cake! This cookie cake is SO easy to make and combines the best of both cookie and cake worlds - buttery shortbread cookies, sandwiched together with chocolate cream cheese frosting, topped with ridiculous amounts of candy. Well, it is Halloween after all! 🎃🍬👻
Did you see my Day of The Dead dinner party tablescape I shared last week? For the occasion, I made these super fun but oh-so easy sugar skull cookies, inspired by our NEW Dia de Los Muertos printable decorations and invitations . I LOVED the process so much, and even my daughter joined in the decorating fun! 😊
Hey friends, as you can probably tell, Halloween is in full swing here on the blog. And I'm so excited to bring you yet another fun idea to help inspire your celebrations! This Halloween cake looks quite impressive, right?! But it's a cinch to decorate and even the kids can help! 😉 I used mainly sugar paste and cookie cutters to help me decorate it. So if I can, you can too!
Nothing says Fall better than pumpkins. And pumpkin spice. And pumpkin spice lattes. So naturally, when it comes to my happy-hour this season, I reach for an indulgent cocktail that combines all these Fall flavors in a glass - My homemade Pumpkin Spice Irish Cream!
Summer is coming to an end, but the warmer temps are still here and that is more than enough to have me reaching for a summer cocktails to cool off! Are you the same? Usually, I'm a Mojito kinda gal in summer. But with all the abundant seasonal fruits in the house, I find that a Daiquiri is the answer to a fruity and refreshing beverage, like you probably saw in this post .
Thank you Idaho Spuds for sponsoring this post. VeggieMash mashed potatoes are a blend of 100% Idaho® grown potatoes and real vegetables for a new take on a family favorite! I love party appetizers, don't you? Serve up a delicious platter of nibble-size food or snacks and I'm all over it! 😍 But serving a delicious AND nutritious party appetizer can often be a challenge, I find. Especially if you have adults and kids present at an event or family gathering and have to cater for various palates.
Have you seen these amazing, trendy cream tarts in shapes of numbers and letters, taking over Instagram and Pinterest ? Well, I personally like to call them "cookie cakes" instead because, well, they look like layered cake to me! They're basically two giant sugar cookies sandwiched together with some sort of frosting in the middle, and decorated on top with tons (and I mean tons) of candy, fruit, macarons, chocolate, edible flowers...you're only limited to your imagination when it comes to the decor of these cookie cakes!
