So what's so special about chili for a Superbowl party? Well, it's not savory chili it is a dessert! It's actually chocolate cake and icing with jelly beans and orange tinted coconut for the cheese. Pure Genius! Found these great desserts over at Party Pinching.
However my FAVORITE is the buffalo wings to include blue cheese dressing and celery?? Actually, it is rice krispies shaped like wings. The sauce is a brown sugar and tangerine glaze. The blue cheese dressing is marshmallow and the celery is green licorice.
I have seen these hot dogs around blogland. Circus peanuts for the buns with hot dog shaped caramels. Gum drops for relish and yellow icing for mustard.
These are my hamburgers....yes I made them!! Remember my Labor Day
Burger Bash here?? Learn how I made them
here.
Sugar cookies to look like Pepperoni! I just love all of these traditional Super Bowl party food turned into desserts!
So my boys are not in the Superbowl! This is a picture of my front door during our playoffs this year. Thank God I had a party for my Steelers or I would have to wait another year for a chance! Anyhoo, I always decorate my front door and usually whole porch for whatever party theme I am having. Unfortunately, I had another party that same week so wasn't able to do my whole porch but wanted to do a quick and cheap project for my front door. I simply draped black mesh (cheaper than fabric and tulle) around door and used yellow bows I found from the 99 cents store. This picture was also taken before I finished my contact paper black and gold stars. Oh well!! Yes, I told my husband to buy
yellow flowers for the pots but look what I got? URGH!
The wreath is a styrofoam wreath which I tied black tulle around and hot glued a yellow marabou boa. If you want a tutorial...I can do! This is such a easy project that you can do in any colors to match your team or party colors!
As I told you on Facebook, I got some really sweet treats from Wrigley. This weekend Madison and I got to playing with all of the goodies. I am longing to go to our beach condo but it seems our weekends have been too busy so I'm bringing the beach to me!
As you know I am NOT a pretty baker. Everything I ever try comes out looking pitiful! However, using candy makes it so super easy and quick! I just made cupcakes or you can buy from any bakery at grocery store ~ get them unfrosted. I frosted half the cupcake with blue icing. I tried to make it look like waves. The other half in either white or beige frosting then cover with crumbled graham crackers (sand).
The beach chair is a Wrigley's stick of Juicy Fruit Juicy Secret (sugar free) gum and the inflatable beach tube is a Life Savers Gummies Collisions. To finish simply stuck a umbrella party pick for some shade!
These beach cupcakes would be great for any summer, beach or pool party! (BTW, the Life Savers Gummies Collisions are so yummy!! )
*disclosure~I received free products courtesy of Wrigley, but it did not influence any opinions expressed in my post.
I love these sugar lettered marshmallows! Great for a unique place card, favor or just a sweet treat!
Cut a marshmallow in half and put the initial on the sticky side then dip in colored sugar.
Then remove cut-out letter.
What a sweet treat! I may have to do this for Valentine's as well! With all the colored sugars available ~ you can custom match any party!
I am making
conversation heart cookies for Valentines and I ran across this adorable Sweetheart Cookie Box from
Zakka Life! Love! Now I have a great way to store and give them out!
I love free templates!
I never thought of thought of taking a box like the one above and turning it inside out, re-glue and use it! Pure genius!!! Window already done as well!
You can either paint or use cardstock to cover the plain cardboard. Painting is faster but the cardstock would be prettier. Whichever you choose it will simply be amazing.
I took a TON of pictures from the Operation Shower event that I participated in. I started posting many of them on Facebook and I will also do a post hopefully tomorrow as well.
I know that most of you have seen these Superhero Valentines that were all the rage last Valentines from
here.
But have you seen the Superhero "specific" Valentine pops?? These are too cute!
Can you tell I'm still stuck on the whole Superhero theme!??
You can find the free printable tags over at
Little Bit Funky. I will be posting pics behind the scenes pics all day tomorrow from Operation Shower Sunshine Safari design event on Facebook. I better get some sleep but this is the second time I've ever left Madison so I'm really missing my baby!
I LOVE this heart chair backer by
Pottery Barn Kids!! I mean ....LOVE!!!!
So this was the muse for me when I spotted this pretty heart foam while in Dollar Tree one day.
I bought an additional piece of foam and traced the heart shape and cut it out. I hot glued around the edges to put the 2 pieces together. I glued red ribbon to the back to attach it to a chair. So simple and took less than 5 minutes!
Viola...my DIY Heart Chair Backer! I think it is adorable and it cost me less than $2!
It has a nice size pocket so you can put in all your Valentine's and goodies!
Now, I'm thinking I really need to have a Valentine's playdate for Madison's BFF's! I'm always looking for reasons for a party and to make my little one's day just a little extra special!
I haven't given up on my Superhero theme party yet! I keep finding awesome muses to feed into my wanting this party theme!! Found this wedding over at
Green Shoes Weddings! A wedding~yes, how cool must this couple be! Above is their place card table but what I'm loving is the backdrop on chalkboard so easy to recreate for a kiddos party!! Chalkboard paint makes it EASY PEASY!
How about personalizing straws and Superhero Pez dispensers! LOVE!!
However, my favorite is the CEREAL buffet. (You know I did this after a night of camping in the backyard with Maddy and her besties
here)
Every Superhero party must have capes! A must have photo booth accessory! So I have figured out how I can get to do my theme after all!! Madison starts kindergarten in the Fall so guess what???? PARTY for all of the "superheroes" going to Kindergarten! YIPPEE!!!!
I am constantly blown away by all of the creative people I find on the Internet! Craftionary has compiled an amazing array of Valentine's Day cards, Tags, coupons, Subway Art and FREE printables! So many of these I had never seen and I'm so excited to use! Click

So if you follow me on Facebook then you know my little one has chosen My Little Pony for theme for her birthday party. As much as I tried to persuade her she is not changing her mind so the days of me picking the theme has truly come to an end! I was hoping for one more year! She also informed me that she wants a princess party! WHAT???? My business does princess theme parties at least 2-3 times a month. Then I realized that she has never had a princess party and she watches me prepare for them all the time. So I promised her to do a princess theme Easter party this year. Of course, I don't want to do my package party because I want to step outside the box. As I was looking for some inspiration for her party, I ran across this really cute Barbie theme party by
Cupcake Express.
Ashley found this cute trunk at Ross for $10 and used it to hold her candy kabobs...to cute!
What little girl would not love this cake? The great thing is that you can get them made at most grocery stores to save you some mula!
Ashley had these wafer papers custom created. I love using wafer papers because I cannot make beautiful baked goods but wafer papers make decorating cookies custom and gorgeous! Plus they are cheaper than custom cookies.
Love all the crepe paper medallions and the gable boxes with the favors! If you are using paper plates~ it's cute to double like having a charger!
