As the children are getting excited about heading back to school, send them off with these fun, tasty treats from the always-amazing Norene of Party Pinching! Norene always comes up with such creative ways to celebrate an occasion and keeps in mind “easy and cost-friendly”! Grab an apple and enjoy…you will definitely want to take notes!
Norene made these shiny apple cupcakes (and she offers a FREE download of the cupcake toppers on her website)…
Norene also dipped pretzel twists in red candy melts and then added a sour apple candy straw for an apple flavor!
This little apple orchard is sprouting with cuteness- and seems so easy to make! Using small, red lollipops, Norene added another sour apple straw stem and a green hear leaf. Adorable!
I also love the polka-dot straws over the stick and how each one is nestled in red candies!
Another clever sweet is the way Norene used store-bought Rice Krispies to make notebook paper!
Using fondant, simply cut a white rectangle to fit the Rice Krispie Treat and then use an edible marker to line the paper. Add ABC sprinkles and a pencil made of a pretzel wrapped with a Fruit Roll Up and dipped in chocolate for a sharp point! Make the apple out of a gumdrop with a Jimmie stem and heart sprinkles.
Fruit Roll up Crayons were easy to make! They are Pepperidge Farm Pirouette cookies trimmed with a chocolate chip on one end. Then wrap the Fruit Roll Up around it, and trim off the excess with kitchen shears. An edible black marker was used to decorate them.
If you have a pudding lover in your home, he or she will love finding pudding in a bowl with Alpha-Bits cereal as a topping! You just may fool them at first! And, everyone knows eating Alphabet soup makes you smarter (just ask Martha!)…but I bet no one ever made it out of pudding!
Leave it to Party Pinching to get the children ready for an another exciting year of school! Serving treats like these will have everyone thrilled and looking forward to a fun year in the classroom! Here’s to a great year!!

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 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!

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!
