A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
One of my favorite way to share treats for the holidays with classmates and friends is in treat bags with printable treat bag toppers. You can use them for homemade treats but they are also fabulous for dressing up store bought goodies (my daughter’s school district doesn’t allow homemade treats). Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Treat Bags PEEPS Treat Bags Hot Tamales Treat Bags Last year I put together an entire collection of free treat bag toppers to use with your Valentine’s {Read More}
Last week I shared the super cute free holiday printable that is available over at Catch My Party. Well today I have another darling free printable to share from one of my favorite blogs, Hostess With The Mostess. The Santa Milk & Cookies Free Printable. In about two minutes time I printed off this darling set using my HP Printer & Ink, put some store bought cookies into a bag (it’s 3.5″ x 7.5″ and 2″ wide), cut out and {Read More}
I am a huge fan of teachers (how can you not be?) and I know that every holiday, I want to find a way to show my appreciation and say thank you, but I also struggle with gift ideas for teachers. So instead of asking my Magic 8 Ball for answers (and I have one – it’s pink – truth!), I decided to ask teachers what it is that they really want. I have three teachers in my own family, {Read More}
When baking and packing up holiday treats to give out, one of the things I love to incorporate into my packaging are printables. There are so many awesome printables available for download, some for purchase and many for free, and they really can make a big difference on the presentation of your sweets and treats. With some super cute free holiday printables from Catch My Party, my HP printer & ink, scissors, tape, thread and a bit of ribbon, I {Read More}
I have five new printable labels for you on the free printables page…. These work perfectly if you want to use CD Sleeves as treat holders. My labels are slightly different as I made them specifically for my daughter’s school with her colors. The free download ones will be a bit more flexible than a yellow and blue combo! The super cute papers used in creating these are from Mel Stampz. For mine I used these labels and these {Read More}
I wanted so share a few more fun ways that you can use the free treat bag topper printables I have available… So simple! Fill a jar with some Hot Tamales, cut out and tape on your printable and add a bow. Done! Fill a jar with chocolate covered pretzels, add a printable and bow and what a great teacher gift! Just get creative! These aren’t limited to treat bag toppers, cut them to whatever shape and size you need!
One of my favorite designers, Shindig Parties To Go, has some darling free printables for you AND is giving away a complete Valentine’s Day Party Printables set. Yay for Valentine’s, Free Printables and Giveaways! First the cute freebies… Adorable Free Valentine’s Day Hershey Kiss Stickers. While Amanda prints hers on adhesive paper (as shown in her picture above, which she has a great step by step tutorial for on her site), I printed mine on regular paper and just taped {Read More}

Four of them are made to specifically match the Valentine’s Day Peeps Treats and the last three are created with space for you to put your child’s (or your!) name. I hope you enjoy them! Head over to the free printables page, where the links can {Read More}
I was recently contacted by some lovely ladies who go by the name of The Foof Queens. The Foof Queens asked if I would like to try their cool new product called “GiftGloss”. GiftGloss is a Slide ‘N Tie Sleeve that helps you quickly, and beautifully, package your goodies and gifts. With some GiftGloss, a Pringles can, some wrapping paper & ribbon, I turned some of my Candy Cane Cookie Crunch Brownies into this lovely gift to give… While I {Read More}
I think we need one more giveaway today. Let me introduce you to Cakes And Kids. Cakes and Kids has some of the cutest fondant cupcake toppers I have ever seen. They are like little adorable works of art all made by Julie, the owner of Cakes and Kids. Take a look… She has pages of darling fondant toppers in her Etsy Store. She also has
To go along with today’s great Babycakes Cupcake Prize Package Giveaway, I thought I would share a few cupcake recipes as well as some simple packaging ideas. I made these Green Velvet Cupcakes for St. Patrick’s Day, but they would be perfect for Christmas! This yummy recipe came from Bakerella. Super decadent Triple Chocolate Mousse Cupcakes. These were amazing. These Pink Velvet Cupcakes could be colored any color, and would look darling in blue for Hanukkah.
If I were to pick one treat that I probably make and give the most during the holidays, it’s chocolate covered pretzels. They are SO easy to make, they look cute, are easy to package, they travel well and almost everyone I know loves them. Salty sweet makes for a great treat. These are truly my no fail go to treat. No baking required, no oven, no measuring. Just microwave some chocolate, dip your pretzels, cover with sprinkles and {Read More}
