Dainty Dogwood Cupcakes

One of my favorite trees is the Dogwood tree. They have the most beautiful delicate blossoms and I love seeing them in bloom. Even though the gorgeous blossoms will only last for so long, you can enjoy these dainty Dogwood cupcakes year round! These little chocolate Dogwood blossoms are the perfect size for topping a cupcake, and floral decorations work for so many different occasions. I think these would be lovely with white frosting for a rustic wedding cupcake tower. As always I am a big fan of making chocolate decorations because they are tasty and can be made in advance, so on the days leading up to to your event all you have to worry about is perfecting your cupcake recipe and frosting.

Teddy Bear Cookies

Don’t be alarmed that these teddy bears don’t have any faces! They are decorate-a-teddy-bear cookies, and are mean’t to be decorated with edible food pens. Ever since I decided to throw my son a teddy bear picnic party, I have been crazy about teddy bears. I thought these cookies would make a fun project for the kids to decorate at the party, and I really like that they can be made in advance and frozen. I made all of the teddy bear cookies in advance and froze them completely decorated. At party time, it was a cinch to pull them out and let them thaw. These cookies are guaranteed to bring a smile to your party guests, and even the parents will enjoy getting in on the decorating action!
