Yummy 4th of July Desserts

 Me and my girls spent the 4th of July at my Mom's house swimming and eating good food. I decided to make some desserts for our little gathering.

The first dessert was for after lunch. It was a red, white and blue Jello cup. I made 2 packages of the blue Jello and separated it equally into 6 cups and let it harden into Jello overnight. Just before serving I topped the Jello cups off with Reddi Wip and a strawberry. It was the perfect light and cool afternoon dessert.

The second dessert was for after dinner. It was Betty Crocker Supreme Triple Chocolate Chunk brownies topped with patriotic marshmallow stars. I made these on Friday just a couple hours before leaving the house. I kept them wrapped until I was ready to serve. I then added the patriotic marshmallow stars and served them. These were very simple and oh so delicious.

I am entering my Yummy 4th of July Desserts in the Decorate to Celebrate Challenge #78 - Fourth of July or Birthday Challenge

Valentine Cake Pops

I am so excited to share my 1st adventure in making cake pops.  I have been wanting to make cake pops for so long and for Christmas I received the Bake Pop Baking Pan actually I got 2 (duplicate gift), no matter I will use both.  So I decided to try them out.  The instructions are simple, the pans are easy to use and the batter actually makes approximately 50 cake pops.  I decided since Valentine's was close I would decorate them for the occassion.  My 9 year old helped make, bake and of course decorate.  We had chocolate, red, pink and white candy melts.  We also used an assortment of sprinkles, colored sugar, jimmies, and some crushed pretzels.  These have been a HUGE HIT in my house with everyone.  I decided to take some to work and this how they looked.

Everyone enjoyed them at my work too! 

I am entering these in the challenge over at Decorate to Celebrate - Challenge #17 Valentine's Day Party - you are to create any project to be used as a party decoration (or party supply) for a Valentine's Day Party!!  Celebrate EVERYTHING WONDERFUL ABOUT LOVE with table decorations, party banners, pennants, yard signs, cupcakes, party favors and more!!
