Ole’!  What a fun line-up of treats that you can make with your children or a classroom to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!  Norene, of Party Pinching, is back today with her always cute and creative treat ideas that are easy to make and easy on the wallet!  This first treat is a Rice Krispies Treat disguised as red peppers!  Norene added candy eyes and fondant stems and a hat- I love how she displayed them in Hot Tamale Candies!

This SOMBRERO is simply made from a sponge cake with a half of a Twinkie added on top.

Add zig-zags with frosting and place Skittles or M&M’s around the brim of hat.

I love these blooming cacti that Norene placed in a food-safe pot!  She used brownie bites, frosting, and sprinkles~ you could also use a cupcake!

 

Norene shows how you can turn an ordinary cupcake (homemade or store-bought) into something FESTIVE with just a few easy additions!

Here, Norene uses store bought cookies that were already frosted and sprinkled and simply added a gumdrop wrapped with a strip of a Fruit Roll-Up for instant and easy Sombrero Cookies!

Lastly, Norene shares one more of her ideas using a Rice Krispies Treat recipe and molding it into a cactus…dip in green candy melts and add a few decorations using fondant, candy eyes, and an edible writing pen!

Party Pinching is a fabulous website full of creative and fun ideas for the whole year through!  You will love all of Norene’s creations!  Thank you for sharing your treats with us, Norene!

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time!  My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun!  Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes!  For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor!  So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child! 

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”. 

CAMILLE’S CLUBHOUSE ~ Confectionery, Soda Shoppe, Spa

My daughter had lots of ideas of what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday!  She wanted to have lots of cookies~ and have a soda shoppe ~ and set up a spa for nail painting!  With so many ideas, I knew we should come up with something that would tie it all together.  And, that is how Camille’s Clubhouse became the theme- the Clubhouse is where you can find lots of her favorite things!  We sent invitations with a an insert that had a “password” that had to be unscrambled and brought to the party for “entry”.  That was an easy way to get the guests involved before the party even started!
