Cat in a hat birthday party, 6 years old!

Party rock is in the house. Happy Birthday. It's time 2 celebrate! 

My little girl turn 6 and wanted a cat in a hat party. I love the cat in a hat a lot and thought I would throw together something together for her and her friends.

Cat in a hat chalkboard, Suckers and cupcakes

Cat in a hat red fish, hat and thing 1 and 2 hair cupcakes

I made some yellow cake cupcakes from a box. I thought about doing a red fish cupcake. It is a Swedish fish candy on the top of the icing. The cat in a hat is a mini oreo and a salt water mint taffy on top. The tulle topper is already made from the store and resembles thing one and thing two hair.

Cupcakes on a cupcake stand

The cake is the bottom part of a big cupcake cake with pink icing and a Pompom banner I made.

The bottom is strawberry jelly rolls sliced and added on the bottom

Cat in a hat pompom cake. I made the pompoms out of tissue paper and string.

Jelly rolls sliced and placed in cupcake wrappers.

Suckers and sucker stand. I made the stand by wrapping a piece of Styrofoam with tissue paper and taping it at the bottom.

Decorations hanging from the ceiling

We all had a cat face makeover before she blew the candles and as you can see she was delighted!

Happy Birthday!

I made some pizza calzones rolls. Very easy: Pizza dough from the store. Mozzarella cheese slices and pepperoni.

Lay the dough as a rectangle. Layer the cheese and meat. Roll. Cook in oven and slice in portions when cooled a little. I didn't add any sauce because little kids make messes. It was super good and the kids loved it.

Red fish ice cubes: Super easy just freeze Swedish fish in an ice cube tray.

Red fish ice cubes in a fish bowl and fun red and white paper straw.

Celebrate St Patrick's Day

Hope you have an amazing day and celebrate today even if it is just with a cupcake.

I think that celebrating little moments and events help me to be happy. They are like highlights in my years and memories that the kids and myself think and talk about. 

SOleil does have 2 different blue eye colors if you were wondering...

Peanut butter cupcakes and chocolate frosting recipe {14 days of Valentine}

I have been craving Peanut butter cupcakes so bad!!!

I made my own recipe with things i already had in my pantry. 

Also, with Valentine and the baby coming soon, i thought i would start on Valentine treats.

2 years ago, i made sweet snacks and treats for my hubby for 14 days before valentine.

Very fun and January is a great time to plan it.

You can see the posts here. 14 days of Valentine.

Hubby's Birthday is on the 13th.

So, there is Valentine Birthday party ideas, handmade cards and sweet quotes too.

The cupcakes taste like Nutty butter cookies (Yum!)

The icing is so yummy!!

Frenchy's Peanut butter cupcakes 

1 box yellow cake mix,

1/2 cup Skippy smooth peanut butter,

1 cup water,

1/3 cup Canola oil,

3 eggs,

Chocolate icing (recipe below)

Preheat oven at 350*

With a mixer, mix cake mix, peanut butter, water, oil and eggs.

When the texture is very smooth, spoon in cupcake liners. 3/4 of the way to the top of liner.

My 4 year old did the job :)

Not to worry, the cupcake turn very beautiful and full.

Cook at 350 degrees until a knife comes clean when you poke the cupcakes.

Let your cupcakes cool completely.

Frost with piping tool the chocolate frosting.

Frenchy's chocolate frosting

1 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted,

1/2 cup very good coco powder, sifted,

1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 stick butter (room temperature),

2 1/2 tablespoon water,

With mixer, beat all ingredients. I started a little bit with the fork and then, the mixer. (I have a hand mixer). If you have a standing mixer skip the fork.

Frost your cupcake,

Add some Wilton heart icing decorations.

Super cute.

Pumpkin cupcakes tutorial

Those are so cute and very easy!

Pillsbury has the funfetti cake mix around Halloween and the matching icing.

I used Twizzlers for the pumpkin stem.

I thought black cupcake liners would be great. 

One box of cake mix makes all the cupcakes. Use a mini bunt pan for the tops. Butter and flour so the cakes don't stick.

Follow the directions for the temperature on the box.

You will get very fluffy cakes. Cute them flat.

Use your icing and glue them together.

With your icing pipe make a "spider".

Dip the cupcake in sprinkles.

Add a piece of chocolate Twizzlers for the stem.

Yum and so pretty on your tower.
