YES! I admit it...I'm a foodie. I am a sucker for cute party ideas!

Cute graduation cupcakes.  Hey, take the time to make the frosting it makes a world of difference.  My butter cream is easy.  Cream a stick of softened butter with a box of powdered sugar. Want chocolate? add Hershey's coco powder (the more the darker) warm up milk or coffee in the microwave and add small amounts at a time.  Alot will make a glaze, a small amount will produce thick fluffy delicious frosting.  Leave the small peanut butter cup in the brown wrapper to avoid any of the peanut butter from showing.  Use a tooth pick to assemble the upside down PB cup to a square of a chocolate bar use frosting to ad a mini m&m and a slice of a licorice for the tassel.  If you do use tooth picks warn your guests to take the candy off first.  My kids graduation party was a hit!

Owl cookies, almost too cute to eat... haven't tried them but they are to die for, aren't they?  Imagine them on a great platter with some special coffee with all the trimmings.  Home made whip cream, shaved choclate, cinnamon, coco.  You use your imagination.  Don't forget a cute tree branch table cloth. I like these because the cookies could be shortbread, sugar cookies, or even an almond cookie.


Owl cupcakes...Oh come on, those are so cute made with oreo's.  Here is the thing to remember, adults like them just as much as kids. Never limit your ideas and compartmenalize things for only certain individuals, broaden your idea span.


Best looking apple I have ever seen...gonna make em?  Don't buy some gross tasting cooking apple.  The Pink Lady Apple is the most tasty and crisp apple and would taste great with chocolate on it.  O.k. picture it...A cute luncheon with all your friends, its in your garden, they are on a three tier dessert holder.  What other whimsical things could you make to add to it?
