Golf Birthday Cupcakes

My boys are into golf this year and thought that I would do their birthday in a golf theme.  For their school Birthday treat I made golf cupcakes for the kids.  First I made regular cupcakes and after they cooled I placed them in small clear plastic cups.  Then I put green frosting on top and the cutest part is the white chocolate golf ball on top! :)  I wrapped the cups in cellophane bags and tied them with ribbon and added a golf bag tag that I cut using my circut and then added a spoon so it's easier to eat in the classroom and not as messy :) Pin It

Kit-Kat Bar Birthday Cake

I saw this cute birthday cake idea online and thought it would be perfect for my co-worker because he loves kit kats.  So I made 2- 8"round white cakes and stacked them.  Once they were cool I put a crumb coat of frosting in the middle, on the sides and top and placed it in the freezer for 20 mins to setup.  After that I used about 60 snack size kit kats and placed they all around the sides of the cake and tied a blue ribbon around it for two reasons, one it gave it some color and second I had to travel so this way it helped keep the kit kats from falling off.

Lego Cupcakes

To celebrate my sons' birthday at school I made lego cupcakes for their classroom and all the kids in the class LOVED them, they were a HUGE hit!

Here is how I made them:  First I found these chocolate molds of lego bricks and minifigures on ebay, then I used Wilton colored chocolate (yellow,red and green) I melted the chocolate using the microwave and poured the chocolate in the molds and let them set up in the freezer over night.  After that I found these cute cupcake liners ( pictured below) at Michael's. 

After all my chocolate was set up I made my cupcakes and frosted them with vanilla icing and topped them each with a chocolate minifigure or lego brick.  They were super easy to make and super cute!!!

Birthday Balloon Wreath

For my son's 9th birthday I decided to make this balloon wreath that I saw online at pinterest ( don't you just love that website)  To make this easy wreath you will need the following:

-A straw wreath ( I found this one at michael's and used a 40% coupon)

-Balloons, this wreath took about 13 bags of 25 balloons found at the Dollar Tree

-Pins, I used regular straight pens or you can use floral pins ( but they are pretty expensive an you will need a lot to complete this wreath)

-Pipe cleaners for some extra decoration ( Optional)

(Wreath making supplies)

After you gather your supplies simply place the unblown balloons on the balloon with the pins and continue until the wreath is covered and this is what you end up with :

Birthday Invitations

As promised in my earlier post I am getting things ready for my sons' 9th birthday party.  I finished their party invitations  and this is what I came up with......

I used Adobe Photoshop to add the writing ( I downloaded the lego font from a website online for free) and images.  I printed the invitations out using vistaprint ( you can usually find deals for free prints,  just pay for shipping) or you could print the invitations out on you at home printer as well.

Lego Theme Birthday Party

My twin boys were really into legos this year so I decided to have them a lego themed party.  At first I thought I would be able to find some party decorations online but I was wrong!  So I went to work and made my own. This is what I made:

I made lego minfigures from a coloring page I printed out from online.  I also made lego bricks using card stock ( primary colors).  The table runner is bubble wrap I got from target.  The banner is made from card stock and the font is from a font website I downloaded and then printed out.

Star Wars Birthday School Treats

My boys are going to be turning 7 and they are ALL about Star Wars. So I made these Star Wars School Treats for their classmates.


I made the cookies with just a simple chocolate sugar cookie recipe or you could use a cookie mix. Then I rolled out my dough and cut them with a bell shape cookie cutter.




After I let them cool I took white vanilla frosting an a plain decorating tip. After decorating my cookies I made these tags for the treat bags:


I started out by making circles out of black card stock and scalloped scissors ( but I just turned them the other way to give them a sharp edging). Then I printed stormtroopers on office paper and cut them in a circle. After that I simply glued them together and Wrote on the back with a silver Sharpie.



To add a finishing touch I tied red wrapping ribbon around the bags an there you have it Darth Vader Cookies& Treat Bags.
