DIY: Ducky Punch

I've seen lots and lots of Ducky showers with ducks in the punchbowl.  BUT.  I've rarely seen the punch that actually looks like suds. 

Very cool sudsy punch and all the how to is over at Tidy Mom.

Bookmark it or throw it on your Pinterest.  This would be really cute at a school party!  Talk about wowing a crowd!

DIY: Pot o'Gold cookies

When I ran across these cookies, I said "WOW" outloud with my mouth gaping open.  The Sweet Adventures of Sugar Belle walks you through the entire process of creating such ART!  

Absolutely beautiful!  My question is... who could dare EAT this thing after all the work that went into it?  Oh yes.. that's right.. my SON would have no problem. LOL

DIY: Easy Rose cake!

If you have a 1M pastry tip and bag, you can create THIS!  Isn't it beautiful?  And wouldn't it be beautiful for Easter in a pastel?   Or in white for a bridal shower?

I Am Baker gives a photo tutorial of just how it's done.  Definitely one of those amazingly simple things that doesn't have to be perfect to be gorgeous!

DIY: Mashed Potato Bar

Want an easy and fun entree to serve up at your next gathering?  How about mashed potato martinis?

You see these frequently offered by caterers and they are just as easy to serve at home.  Let your guests get creative in making their own "mashtinis".

Moore Minutes gives some great suggestions on setting up various topping stations and shows photos of the finished items with virtually no cooking!

 

 

Easy Nilla wafer Sweet treats!

These have to be some of the most adorable and EASY Valentine's Day treats I've seen. Little girls will swoon!

Flexible Dreams shows you how easy it is!  Dip wafters into candy melt.  Add heart sprinkles for the bows and draw on a face with Wilton Food Writers.

These would be adorable for a girl's tea party or a baby shower as well!
