~ DIY Tutorials ~ Rice Krispie Pops "Little Pirates"

As seen on Ivano's First Birthday "Pirate Party"...

Here are the instructions on how to make these cute little pirates pops:

To make the pops you'll need:

Round Cookie Cutter

Candy wooden sticks

Parchment Paper

Icing decorating tubes {red, white and black}
Treat bags and curling ribbon to wrap pops

50 ml	1/4 cup	margarine or butter
250 g	1 pkg	(about 40) regular marshmallows or 5 cups miniature
2 ml	1/2 tsp	vanilla extract (optional)
1.5 L	6 cups	RICE KRISPIES CEREAL

Preparation

Melt margarine in large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
Stir in vanilla. Stir in RICE KRISPIES cereal until well coated.
Using lightly buttered spatula, press into buttered round cookie cutter over parchment paper.
Wait a few minutes and insert Candy sticks before they dry completely
Let dry and decorate with Icing decorating tubes {Usually available in the baking section of the supermarkets or specialty store like bulk candy or Michaels}, let dry completely at least 6 hours before wrapping.

You can also make your own royal icing with the mix like shown in the picture above but then you'll need colouring gels, piping bags and tips.

Now you can use any cookie cutter to make any rice krispie pops to match your party theme.

Really easy and yummy!

~Birthday Party~ Glamour Girl Ooh La La!! A Pink Poodle in Paris

"Ooh La La! Julianna invites you to Paris to celebrate her 6^th birthday. Get ready to have your hair and makeup done and participate in a Fashion Show. There will be dancing, cake, pinata and lots of Fun!"

All the guests received their Boarding Passes Invitation to fly to Paris

with their itinerary and activities to do during their trip.

Seats were assigned, They just had to confirm their flight.

The theme for the decor was a "A Pink Poodle in Paris" So Tres Chic! in Pink, Purple and Mint Green.

The Cake was Adorable!! It was made by Cakes by Anna in Woodbridge, Ontario. She did a fabulous job.

The Party Favors for the girls were Fashion Fairytale Barbie dolls, wrapped with clear cello paper, matching colors paper bows and pink poodle in paris name tags. Since the boys favors didn't match with the theme, they were wrapped with tissue paper first then with clear paper.

Pink Poodle in Paris Deluxe Pack & 8 Favor Boxes

Pink Poodle in Paris Party supplies were purchased at Birthday Express.

I had lots of pink poodles decorating the room and of course tons of Balloons. A Gorgeous Balloon Centerpiece adorned the Sweet Table. We had tons of sweets, fruits arrangements and the so yummy gummi-pots

To match the theme, I made a huge Eiffel Tower Piñata. I also purchased the Eiffel Tower, the High Heel Shoe and the Little Black Dress cookie cutters from Ann Clark Cookie Cutters. I got the sugar cookie recipe from the make more cookies blog.

I had a huge hand-painted mural made to match the pink poodle in Paris theme. This was used as decor and photo backdrop for the little models. It was adorned it with balloon flowers all around. I also got a directors chair, where the girls sat down to get their hair and make up done before heading to get ready to participate in the fashion show. We had a clothing rack full of Stylish dresses and accessories, feather boas, hats and other hair accessories the little divas wore on the runway {all the dresses were designed and custom made by my mom and I, and I loved how they turn out}
The girls looked so cute and had much fun!!
