Burger cupcakes

This is such a super cute idea.. I have not made these yet myself i found this while searching Pinterest for ideas because my 7 (soon to be 8) year old daughter has chosen for me to make her cake/cupcakes this year.

The best part – this is super easy.  Prepare the Fun-da-middles according to package directions (I used the yellow cake/white filling mix.).  Sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Bake as directed.  Let the cupcakes cool completely then remove the paper wrappers.

                                                                       
                                                                          
Ingredients:

1 batch Fun-da-middles cupcakes (12 cupcakes - sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top before baking)
3/4 cup sweetened chopped coconut
3 - 4 drops green food coloring (for the coconut)
chocolate frosting, and red and yellow decorating frosting (im sure you could use regular vanilla frosting and color it yourself if you wanted)

Directions:

1. Remove the paper wrapped from the cupcakes and slice in half.

2. Place the coconut in a bowl. Add 3 to 4 drops green food coloring and mix well. Set aside.
3. Pipe a circle of chocolate frosting on each “bottom bun”.
4. Sprinkle the colored coconut on the chocolate frosting.
5. Top with red and yellow frosting to simulate ketchup and mustard.
6. Gently place cupcake tops on each frosted bottom half.
7. Refrigerate until about 20 minutes before serving time.

tiny "caramel" apples

Bite-size versions of the fall fair treat, these tiny "caramel" apples are a great party snack

Ingredients
4-inch lollipop sticks
Melon baller
Granny Smith apples (one apple makes about 8 mini apples)
Butterscotch or peanut butter chips
Chopped nuts, nonpareils, sprinkles, shredded coconut (optional)
Small paper candy cups

Instructions

1.  First, cut the lollipop sticks in half at an angle (the pointy end will go into the apple pieces easier). With the melon baller, scoop little balls out of the apple. Each ball should have a section of apple peel. Push half of a lollipop stick into the peel of each ball. Pat the apple pieces dry.
2.  Melt the chips according to the package directions. Dip and swirl the mini apples in the melted chips, then roll the apples in nuts, sprinkles, nonpareils, or coconut, if desired. Place the mini apples in paper candy cups to set.

Halloween Treats/Trick or treat cookies from Smiley Cookie

I was given a great opportunity to receive and review some amazing Halloween Cookies from Smiley Cookie. I received a box via fed-ex

( a very cute box by the way) and inside the box was a bag of 18 Halloween Jack O' Lantern cookies. As soon as i opened the bag I had to eat one they smelled so yummy !!! and they were AMAZING and  tasted very fresh like they were just baked that day. And of course the kidies and the husband had to dig in also.

 

 My 7 year old daughter loved them she is insisting that i order some for her class. I managed to save a few for family who was coming over and they loved them also. I must admit i was a little skeptical as to how the taste would be seeing as they were being shipped and I would have no idea if they were going to be as fresh and i hoped. Well i was pleasently suprised . Being a mom of 4 small children im always looking for new snacks for them and having one child who is in school and who always wants to bring treats to class for holidays and or birthdays and class partys. Our schools here do not allow us to bring in home made items . You can order individualy wrapped cookies from them for any occasion like holidays,birthdays,special events like graduation,baby showers, or get well soon,or just because they have different shapes and best of all you get to customize them your way you pick the icing color, face color. They also have a wide rage of gifts too and since halloween is right around the corner check out their Halloween Gifts. The website is super easy to use and very reasonable prices. Perfect for those class partys or birthday partys, Halloween Treats  or just because you want some amazing cookies.

Packaways Reusable Plastic Multi Purpose Storage Box

I was given a great opportunity to review 2 great reusable multi purpose storage boxes from Packaways. I was so excited when i got the email i had been approved for this review. I have been looking for a great easy way to store all my craft supplys. When i got my storage boxes i opened them instantly and went into my craft room and started organizing my supplies. Im not sure of the sizes i recieved but i got 2 great sizes. The only thing i have negative to say is that it was a little hard to get them to stay together it took some work but once i put my items in they held up great and i can fit alot of items in them and theres an area where you can use dry erase markers to write what you have stored which is great because you can erase each time you want to but something else in them unlike boxes or other storage containers where you have to either tape a paper on or cross out the previous writing. The thing i love most about them is they are reusable so you can use them over and over they fold flat so when they are not being used its easy to store them and they pop back up like new each time. They are very sturdy not made cheap at all. I must say i was pleasently suprised at how good the quality was on them. I would love to order more to organize my kids rooms they are fun and easy to use and very bright and pretty colors they are a wonderful product to have. I think these would be very good for college students who live in dorms, people who craft or scrap book, collectors, or even teachers its a great way to organize your class room. I personally reccomend you check them out you will love them.

UGLee Pen Review

Okay i was give the chance to review the UGLeepen. This pen is super comfortable to write with i dont find those indents on my fingers after writing even if i write alot as i would with a pen or pencil. I received a pack of 3 pens they they were yellow and black with gel on the end where you hold it (black and sparly :-) ) they write with blue ink. The gel is really soft and squishy it makes it comfortable to hold and write with it makes writing more soft because the pen does not dig into your skin because of the gel grip. I had given one to my husband to use at work because he writes alot. He usually uses rollerball pens. And he loved it. He said its comfortable and smooth to write with, and it dont make his fingers hurt to write like the other pens he had been using since his job requires him to do a ton of writing everyday.

The UGLee Pen is a revolutionary ergonomic pen that is designed, created and used by a real physician. This Doctor-inspired grip pen is redefining the way people view pens and writing.

The UGLee Pen is good for everyone who writes (even just a grocery list), and is especially helpful to people who experience pain and discomfort when writing, for example those with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.,. It's also the best writing utensil  for children who are learning to write and are developing fine motor skills, as well as helpful for special-needs children who find holding a pen or pencil properly difficult. And for high-school and college students who have to take copious notes, this pen helps keep hands and fingers from cramping.
