Bran Cereal Nests!

If you are looking for an Easter party dessert idea, I strongly recommend the Bran Cereal Nests! It looks like a real nest, doesn't it? Kids won't believe they are made from cereals and chocolate? This no-bake dessert is easy enough for kids to make and still have fun together.

This activity only requires using three food items! I used Fiber One. You can also use All-bran from Kellogg. 

Melt chocolate using a microwave for about 1 min.

Mix the melted chocolate and the cereal.

Place the mix into paper cups to form the nests. let dry for about 3 minutes.

Party idea - Construction

The theme of my friend's 1st birthday was construction! It's few years ago but I love to share the party pictures. Everyone attending the party was really enjoying with these foods.

1. Spare Tires - Mini chocolate donuts

2. Wrecking balls - Cheese balls

3. Nuts and bolts - Chex Mix

4. Wet Paint - Put Jet-Puff between graham crackers and dipped in Candy Melt (Milton)

Minne Mouse Cupcake!

Last December, my daughter Kei turned two!! She like to watch  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse lately, and is a big fun of Minnie Mouse. So I decided to make the Minnie Mouse cupcakes! But I didn't have enough time to make the cupcakes from a scratch because I had a lot of things to do for Christmas, so I used a boxed mix easily. She and her brother really loved the cupcake!!!

Ingredients

Chocolate cake mix

Wthite and pink frosting - I used a Wilton 1M tip to decorate them.

Wilton Pink Fondant pack 4.4 oz (to make ribbons) 

Thin Oreos (to make the mouse ears)

Handmade earring

My kids and I went to "open gymnastic". We can use gymnastic facilies like kids play area. My kids really like there. 6$ per kid, is it good deal? I think so! Anyway, my necie's birthday dinner will be held tonight. I made a earring for her (7  years old). It's cute, isn't it?
