It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! With sugar plum fairies, holiday parties, and joy all around, this gingerbread house cake recipe fits right in. I made this adorable and festive sheet cake turned gingerbread house by cutting up a rectangular sheet cake. The result looks way more festive than the time I spent […]
Making a huge impact wherever it is placed, this DIY paper cones garland is definitely one of the easiest ways to turn any table into a celebration. I made it for our Thanksgiving table this year. The paper cones are easy to make, and when they’re all hung together like this, it creates a serious […]
Do you remember cruising the mall, passing Mrs. Fields, and seeing their HUGE cookies with frosting in the display cases? I always thought it would be so cool to receive one of those. So I decided to make my own cookie cake! Sometimes called a pizookie, because it’s baked like a big pizza cookie. My […]
With holiday parties and New Year’s Eve right around the corner, why wait for the disco ball to drop when you can be the sparkle with this disco ball headband? I am wearing it to our New Year’s Eve tinsel party and looking forward to seeing the room light up when I walk in. Even […]
One of my favorite things about piñatas, besides the candy, is all the festive streamer garland hanging from it. So this season, instead of hanging all the magic from a stick, I’m making that same fluffy, frilly goodness right at home. These fringed garland streamers are soft, textural, and so easy to make. I made […]
We’re still deep in our pie crust era here, and today’s project is my favorite quick fall trick, lattice pie mug toppers! They are not only impressive, but wildly simple to make. A bit of cutting and criss-crossing (just follow along with the photos below) and you will be quickly on the way to wowing […]
I prefer a cake over a pie any day! I’m a cake girlie through and through. But it’s pie season after all… I wanted the best of both worlds and was so pleased that this crazy idea to bake a pie inside a cake came out seriously good! A Piecaken, as I am calling it. […]
By now, it’s no secret that I love turning totally random things into birthday candles. We’ve lit up cherries, vegetable candles, and made crayon birthday candles, but these walnut candles might be my favorite DIY this season. Did you know you can literally light nuts on fire and make your own candles? True story, I’ll […]
There are approximately 157 different activities my teens have this month that apparently all require snacks, treats, or “something festive.” From school spirit events to cheer fundraisers to that one friend’s “casual” costume party… It’s sugar season, and I’m fully booked. No complaints here! But keeping things fun and easy is key, which is why […]
Now that the weather is dropping, this hot chocolate cake recipe is a hit with my party friends. Taking the cocoa mug cake trend, but making it an actual 4-layer party cake size, was a sweet way to celebrate my BFF’s recent cozy cold-weather birthday party. A cake that looks just like a super sweet […]
I’m topping our party cakes with rainbow ghost cake toppers to make spooky season a little more fun. A colorful bunch of ghosts is exactly how I plan to top my cakes all fall long. Make a stash of colorful ghosts for topping cakes, lining a mantel, or using them as decoration around the house […]
Last week, I tried making jam for the first time. It was so fun, and as soon as it was done, I put it on a cake… a jam cake! A sweet end-of-summer treat with a great combo of fruit tart and sweetness. This cake is an instant showstopper at any summer party. You can […]
