Sweet Recipe: Fun Back-to-School Cupcakes

What better way to celebrate your child's back to school with a delicious welcome surprise in their lunch bags!  Try out this fun cupcake decorating recipe from Family Fun Magazine, that your child and friends will be sure to enjoy!

Ingredients

• Yellow, green, and white frosting
• Cupcakes
• Red Skittles or M&M's
• Small plastic bag

• Rubber band or twist tie
• Chocolate-covered graham crackers
• White Good & Plenty candies

Instructions

1. Cover the cupcakes with yellow frosting and allow them to sit for an hour before decorating. Dab each red Skittle or M&M with a bit of green frosting for the apple's leaf, then set them aside.
2. Put a tablespoon or two of white frosting into a small plastic bag for piping. Cut a very small hole in a corner of the bag, twist the top of the bag closed, and secure it with a rubber band or twist tie. Piping the frosting gently out of the hole, write messages on the chocolate-covered graham crackers. Leave space at the bottom of the cookie, where it'll be stuck into the cupcake.
3. Cut a groove in the cupcake's frosting with a knife, then fit a blackboard into the groove. Add one Skittle or M&M apple and a piece of Good & Plenty chalk, as shown.

♥ Inspirational Board ~ A Little Ballerina Party

I recently have been so busy working on all the detail's for my daughter's "Little Ballerina" Birthday party in August; there are so many cute ideas for this party theme!  I started with a color scheme, must include pinks & purples, since they are her favorite colors!  However, to brighten up the aura of this color scheme, I decided to add some greens and a little bit of yellow to make the party ambiance delightful.  Next, I developed an inspirational board with an array of decor ideas from the Martha Stewart Pom-Poms, to a dessert table filled with colorful goodies and of course, pretty fresh pink lemonade for my little ballerinas!  I can't wait to feature the pictures of the actual party decor next month.
