When you frost a cupcake, you spread love.

Now that school is back in session so begins the school parties.  From birthday celebrations to  holiday parties there is a need for treats.  One of my favorite things to do with my kids is bake.  It’s time shared that we can use to discuss the week’s events and do a little math, without the kids noticing.

Cupcakes are a great treat for all kinds of parties! Easy to decorate with cute picks and no worries about taking serving utensils for divvying up the goodies!

One of my favorite products is our Holiday Cupcake Picks and Liners.  Talk about one stop shopping! Liners for cute serving containers and picks for easy decoration! It’s so much fun to bake and decorate.  This takes the worry over how the kids frost out of the equation.  They can ice the cupcakes, throw on some sprinkles and place the pick in for a festive holiday look!  Aren’t they cute? And so economical! Easy cleanup is a big bonus as well! Just get a “crumb catcher” (as our kindergarten teacher called napkins) and voila, you’re done!

Birthdays are another great time for cupcakes.  No slicing up the cake, worrying about who gets the most frosting, who gets the corner piece and how in the world are you going to fit the leftover cake in the fridge.  For moms of school aged kids it is the easiest way to treat all the kids in the class to a sweet treat!

I have two daughters and they could not be more different. My oldest is rough and tumble, loves Nascar and anything science related.  Our Froggie Cupcake Picks were perfect for her “swamp thing” birthday.  The cupcakes were iced with blue-green frosting and then we piped on green lily pads.  We stuck one of these cute little guys in and when you put all the cupcakes together we had our giant swamp!   It’s so easy to get carried away with your theme and have such fun creating decorations, food and of course the cupcakes!  My girlfriend made cute little frog fruit from the recipe found here.  I was so glad for her help, because I was not blessed with the crafty gene.

Now my middle child, my second daughter has, and always probably will be, a girly girl.  If it’s pink and frilly she loves it. We have done so many princess themed parties that I’ve got a huge stash of every princess under the sun.  We used these Princess Birthday Party Picks for one of her toddler birthdays and I was able to wash them up and save them for future use!

Aren’t they adorable! And they are washable, reusable and work for both birthdays and princess tea parties. Believe me, we’ve had a few of those in our years with our princess-loving daughter!

Our last princess party (which may very well be the last as she seems to be outgrowing the little girl fun and heading toward pre-teen angst) was geared toward Cinderella and each girl received one of the Cinderella Slipper Fillable Favors in her goody bag.

Cupcakes just make this over-scheduled mom happy. The baking and decorating process gives us the time to just relax, take time out of our busy day and share in family time.  The easy serving and easy clean up gives you the time to sit back and enjoy while the party is going on.
