DIY Polly Pocket Mini Cake Dresses
With summer fast approaching as a mom I am always looking for ideas to keep the kids busy. These DIY Polly Pocket Mini Cake Dresses will definitely keep the kids happy for a few hours. My daughter has been begging me for sometime to help her make a Barbie cake. After watching several tutorials with her I decided that they look like a bit of work. I also am not a huge fan of cake with a ton of frosting! I wasn’t too big on the idea of having a giant cake go to waste or letting my kids devour an entire cake and have a sugar rush! The other day my daughter had brought out her…

Red, White and Blue Cupcakes are what I have been taking to 4th of July parties this year!

Big Book of Cupcakes / Cookies and Cream Cupcake
Over the next few weeks I will be highlighting some awesome cupcake recipes from The Big Book of Cupcakes. I have decided cupcakes are my favorite. They are small enough portions for the little people in our lives but have enough “cake” to satisfy even an adult. I received this “Big Book of Cupcakes” recipe book (presented by Southern Living) and my kids poured over the pages deciding which cupcake recipe we would try first. I was just as excited to find big inspiration in these pint-size confections. In the Big Book of Cupcakes you will find the pages loaded with cupcakes for every season and occasion that are Easy…
