Freebie Friday

Frozen Party Printables

Good morning readers!

We threw a party recently for my niece that was Frozen themed, and I thought, how cute is this? A Frozen party in the summer! Olaf, of course, approved. Here are some pictures for you to grab any ideas from. This was a collaboration with VIP FD&E and Sweets by Sonia. They are always such a pleasure to work with!

And, if you have a little daughter you know, very well, the FROZEN obsession. Well here is a little freebie for those of you that are planning to have a Frozen themed party this summer.

In this pack there are Food Tents, & Ziploc Bag Tags. Here's what you're going to need:

For these Food Tents, we used marshmallows, and chocolate kisses. We put them each in their own platter with the food tent printed on Cardstock, folded in half, in front. You can get the editable version here. The font I used here is called "Aspire." You will need to download it first into your PC, Notebook, or Laptop. You can find it by "googling" the font name, but there's a great version here. Have never downloaded a font? You can find the How-To here. 

We also had Olaf Noses {Carrots} and these awesome Ziploc bag tags.

We attached the Ziploc Bag Tags to, you guessed it, Ziploc Bags and then put these in their goodie bags. In each Ziploc Bag, there were 3 marshmallows, two pretzel sticks, some brown M&Ms, and a baby carrot. The guests {Baby L's little friends}, chose to either build their snowman or just eat the pieces. It was SO cute and tons of fun for the little ones. 

I hope you enjoy, and remember to share any of your hits or misses on the comments below. 

Enjoy!

{Post Update}

Here's a little post update: So, as I told you here, it was my sister's birthday and I made her cake for her day. I just wanted to share with you my personal experience with making my first Ombre cake, as I am NOT a baker, whatsoever, and am in no way making the statement that I am. This was VERY difficult for me, but being the resourceful person that I am {or that I try to be} I tried to simplify {as much as possible} what seemed like an impossible fete. Here's how...

First: I gathered some simple tools, and ingredients to make my life easier.

(1}Good old-fashioned PAM {2}Yellow Cake Mix {3}Bake Pan {4}Measuring Cups and lastly not shown here {5}Food Coloring

So first thing I did was make the cake mix {just followed the directions on the box}. I then equally separated the cake mix into different bowls and added food coloring to each bowl. To create the ombre look I added no food coloring to the first bowl, then one dab of red food coloring to the second bowl, to the third I added two dabs of red food coloring and 1 dab of neon pink food coloring, and then the last I added 3 dabs of neon pink food coloring. {needless to say it was VERY messy}

     

Then it was time to bake. I sprayed the bake pan with {A LOT of} PAM in order to make sure that it wouldn't get stuck. 

{Not so pretty, but}I quickly started layering all the mini cakes, and put white vanilla frosting in between each layer. Make sure to not leave the cake in the oven too long because since it is so little cake mix, it cooks very fast. I put more frosting towards the outer rim of each layer, so that the finished product would look even and pretty! haha. Take a look for yourself. What do you think?

    

It was delicious too!

XOXO, Crystal                    

Party Time!

Hi readers:

Tomorrow should be exciting! She has decided that we all get our boots on and go down to the nearby Country Western Bar for some line-dancing. Before these festivities, I get to decorate my house for a beautiful cake cutting made by, of course, moi!

I plan on creating a Naked Ombre Frosting Cake. Sorta like this one below posted by the lovely crew over at Lovey Dovey Darling.
