Creative entertaining ideas including DIY crafts, baking tips, real party inspiration and more.
With the Super Bowl only a few days away, here’s a little inspiration to help you bring your theme to the table. All you need is a stick of refrigerated gingerbread cookie dough and a can of white icing.
Bake your cookies (see a few tips on cookies keeping their shape in the oven), allow them to cool completely on a wire rack and then ice. Simply take a resealable bag and spoon in your white icing. Snip one corner and pipe your lines.
Simple, fun and your guests will love them. Happy baking!
Centerpieces don’t have to be elaborate to be beautiful and fun. Step outside of the norm and create something whimsical like this idea from Real Simple Magazine. I mean what kid wouldn’t be excited about sitting down in front of bunch of brightly colored lollipops.
The buckets you can likely find at any craft store. As for the lollipops, go to a candy shop or even check out a Cracker Barrel restaurant. They have a great assortment of unusual candies and suckers.
This idea would be a great addition to our sweet treats and sweet treat too themes.
