I love adding fun, but simple, details to parties that make your guests smile! Lori made these cookies recently and everyone we showed this cute display to couldn’t help but smile. You could recreate this idea with just about any cookies shape and paper straw color to match your party. Choose from almost 100 different styles of paper straws from our shop! Lori used a marker cap to cut the small center circle before baking.

Here is another yummy version of cake pops Lori make this week, dreamsicle! She tried using striped paper straws for the sticks and I just love how festive and summery they look! She opted to use cake balls baked in a Babycakes Cake Pop Maker, but the traditional cake truffle filling would work as well. She added a couple drops of orange creme flavoring oil to the melted candy melts for a yummy dreamsicle flavor.  We recommend tasting between adding drops of flavoring oil because its so very easy to add too much.

This week Lori has been busy making cake pops! How cute are these cherry cake pops!? We opted to use cake balls baked in a Babycakes Cake Pop Maker, but the traditional cake truffle filling would work as well. She added a couple drops of cherry flavoring oil to the melted candy melts for a yummy light cherry flavor.  We recommend tasting between adding drops of flavoring oil because its so very easy to add too much.

You don’t need to be a gardener to appreciate the cuteness of garden gnomes, especially on a cupcake! Lori made these recently and I just love how the garden gnomes are nestled into their own little outdoor garden scene. If you’re looking for an easy and cute way to decorate cupcakes, I highly recommend loading them with sprinkles and toppers like Lori did here. Its such a fool proof way of cupcake decorating that hides any imperfections and leaves you with impressive cupcakes.
