Mad Science Birthday Party

My oldest child loved the Mad Science after-school program at his school this year. When I heard they did birthday parties, I jumped at the opportunity.

Bake Club - Pretzels

Although I usually think of sweet items when I think of baking, I'm glad my friend Amy introduced a savory item to focus on at this month's bake club: PRETZELS.

Airplane Birthday Party

I have 3 boys. My third son is the first to show any interest in "typical" boy things: balls, trucks, cars, planes...

So I was looking forward to doing something a little different for this birthday party (no Lego's and no Star Wars... yeah!)

We kept things pretty simple and chose ONE thing to focus on: airplanes! (or as my 2-year-old says, "apane!")

Bake Club - Poppy-seed Danishes

We have Martha Stewart to thank for this special spring treat: Poppy-seed Danishes with Cherry-Cream Cheese Filling.

Ok, they look like they'd be difficult to make. But it was actually pretty easy and fun! (that also might have something to do with the good company I was in!).

Egg Cake Pops

I was a little embarrassed to title this post "Easter Egg Cake Pops" since Easter is long gone, but I really wanted to share my latest cake pop creation...

So you've probably seen my cake pops before.

These are different... there's a little surprise inside! First I must say I was a little inspired by Amanda over at I Am Baker, since she is the master at putting surprises inside her cakes! My surprise was on a much smaller (and predictable!) scale.
