Oh Canada Cupcakes

DSC_0028

Canada Day is this Friday.  I'm not sure how it got to be almost July already, but somehow here we are six months into the year and ready to honour our homeland with a patriotic party.

I put together these pretty cupcakes for the Savvy Mom party of the month.  A red velvet cake, topped with butter cream cheese frosting and decorated with an assortment of fresh berries just screams Canadiana. Further embellishments include colourful cupcake liners, tiered cake stands and fresh flowers.  These are a cinch to assemble and look so festive and seasonal on a table.

For the simple how-to, head on over to Party Savvy, or click here for the recipe and instructions.

DIY: S'more Gift Box Summer vacation officially begins this week, around these parts anyways, so I'm sharing a weeks worth of summer entertaining ideas for you. Not all recipes per se, but I have hostess gifts, party favours and Canada Day fare for any of your patriotic party needs. Jackson wanted to make a s'mores kit for his lovely teacher as a small token of his fondness for her. It's her very first year teaching, and while she receives one large class gift that all the kids contribute to, he wanted to put together a little something just from him.

Canada Day Party Ideas Hot on the heels of my Oh Canada Cupcakes, I'd like to share a few more ideas for you sprucing up your patriotic parties this coming weekend. If you are celebrating July 4th in the US or Bastille Day in France, feel free to add in a little blue somewhere to make each of these ideas work for your national celebrations. I love the idea of sending guests home with party favours, and these little butter tart pies are a perfect option. They're easy to make and work as both an individual dessert and a take home gift. I've shared my recipe how-to over on Party Savvy this month. Edible centrepieces are a fun and easy way to jazz up your outdoor tables. Made with items I picked up from my local dollar store, this candy creation is a great way to get your kids involved in the party planning....
