School Christmas Party
We had a great time with Owen's Classmates at their Christmas Party. I thought I would share how to make 2 of the treats we had.
Santa Claus Cookies
Melt a few blocks at a time of the almond bark in a double boiler
Dip the top part of the cookie in the Almond Bark
Dip part of the Almond bark covered end in the red Sugar
Place a White Chocolate morsal for the Pom Pom on the hat
Then dip the other end in the Almond bark
You can skip this part but I used a little bit of melted chocolate for the mouth
The recipe called `for red hots as the nose. but I took a little of the melted almond bark, and then sprinkled some red sugar for the nose.
Next is a snowman Pretzel
You will need Pretzel rods, Almond bark, Mini Chocolate chip morsals, Fruit by the foot, Gum Drops and Gummy rings
Melt the Almond Bark a couple of blocks at a time in a double boiler
Dip one half to 2/3 of the pretzel in the Almmond Bark
Place the Mini Chocolate Chips for the eyes and buttons
Place the pretzels in a small glass and tie a strip of Fuit by the foot around the pretzel for a scarf. I tried tieing them but they kept breaking. So I ended up twisting them.
The recipe called for orange icing for the noses. I cut up and orange gummy ring and placed as the nose.
Take one Gum Drop and one Gummy Ring (I also dug a little hole out of the bottom of the Gum Drop)
Slip the Gummy ring over the smaller end of the Gum drop Dip the end of the pretzel into the Almond Bark and place his "Hat" on.
ENJOY!
Merry Christmas

Photo Friday - Fun
Mandy's Photo Friday theme is Fun for this week. Summer is all about fun. And since I have several friends who get to stay home with their kids we have been getting together and letting the kids play and us have a break! This last week we went to My oldest son's friend's house and they rode bike and ran around. We ended the afternoon with Popsicle. Do you have a favorite flavor. I like cherry and grape. Makes me smile. :) If you want to see the other entries go here.

Mickey Mouse Birthday
My baby turned 2! So, we had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Birthday. I found my cake design and invitations on playhousedisney.com
Here are the pictures of my process in making the cake. 4 vanilla and 1 chocolate can of icing. The website gives instructions on how much to dye each color. Once I baked my white 9 x 13 cake I sat it in the freezer over night. This especially helps if you have some crumbling pieces to try and ice over.
The bottom half is green
Then place in the freezer for about 2 hours or until the frosting is frozen
Meanwhile print off the Clubhouse template
I then traced it onto wax paper. It seemed a little more sanitary to me. Then cut it out along the edges
Once the icing is frozen pull out of the freezer and place your outline on top.
Outline the play house with the appropriate colors.
Once that is done gently remove your stencil or some of your outline may come off.
Then fill in the rest of the clubhouse with the appropriate colors.
I didn't have any piping bags so mine is a little messy
I found these cute little Mickey Mouse ears at Wal-Mart.
We did have some girls coming so we needed a few Minnie Mouse ears
I bought pink ribbon with white poka dots
I then tied them into a bow and place a dot of craft glue on the back
And then placed the bow on top of the headband.
I think they turned out super cute!
I bought the table cloth, Happy Birthday sign, cups, plates, and napkins from Wal-Mart
And to add to the theme I made different color dots and taped them to the wall
I then found a Mickey Mouse Sand Pail at the Dollar tree and placed the forks in it.
And our big Mickey we had already.
This is our front porch greeting our guests
And here is the Birthday boy ready to party.
