I'm not a huge baker, but I could not resist the super-easy
pumpkin & cake mix recipe that kept popping up on Pinterest and I needed something easy for our school bake sale. I also saw on Pinterest this cute little acorn treat that was made by
Design Dazzle and it was the perfect extra sparkle I needed for my cupcakes!
The kids can help you make these cute treats, using Mini Nilla Wafers, Hershey's Kisses, some mini chocolate chips and a little chocolate frosting. This would be a really fun thing to make on Thanksgiving, but if you do have a fall bake sale like I did, here is another super easy tip:
Use a plastic tumbler and a baggie to package your cupcakes. (Baggies brand, with the alligator on the package are the cheapest.) This keeps the cupcakes protected and a little bit of satin ribbon adds a perfect touch! Now, go try the pumpkin recipe. It is seriously de.licious! (And leave me a little note if you have not tried Pinterest yet and you need an invite.) ;)
I'm so excited to share some fun projects with you fromThe Angel Company's Fall 2007 Supplement! When I saw this set, Count Your Blessings, I thought about my kiddos around the Thanksgiving table. We always talk about what we're thankful for, so I made this My Blessings Coaster Placecard Holder. It's a great place for kids to write down their blessings while they are waiting for dinner. My blessings include my husband John, son Jack (8) and daughters Katelyn (6) and Lily (2). You can see a couple more of my projects within the supplement, including one of the kids and me in the kitchen. I hope you enjoy crafting and preparing for your fall holidays!
