Saying I have a sweet tooth might be an understatement. I love to bake, and my favorite part is making my sweet treats look adorable and fun to eat. I love the
cake pop trend, it’s the perfect sweet treat and the perfect taste of cake and frosting. Also who doesn’t love sprinkles!
The
Cake Pop 101 tutorial on A Beautiful Mess shows step-by-step photos on how to make the perfect cake pop. She used a Red Velvet cake mix (excellent choice!) and used
cake pop sticks to serve these cake lollipops.
Hot Fudge Sundaes Brownie Bowls, did I loose you at hot fudge or brownie bowls? What a yummy sweet treat, that is a great size and adorable to serve. I would use a
mini muffin tin for these to make the outside brownie. Once the brownie is filled with a tiny scoop of ice cream, dollop of hot fudge and a sprinkle of
sprinkles, serve and savor.

If you’re a huge fan of comics, why shouldn’t you make them part of your wardrobe? Of course you can showcase the designs on shirts, but it would be much more interesting to wear them as jewelry. These comic book earrings are easy to make and would add a unique touch to your outfit.
What you’ll need:
Step 1. Choose comic book pictures that you want to use as designs for your earrings.
Step 2. Using Mod Podge, attach the images to cardstock, then carefully flatten them down removing all the air bubbles.
Step 3. Put Mod Podge over the front of the images as a sealant. Try to do it as quick as possible so as to not leave fingerprint marks in the glue.
Step 4. After the earrings dry, use the circle punch to cut out two circles.
Step 5. Use the small hole punch to make a small hole at the top of each circle.
Step 6. Use the needle nose pliers to slightly pry open the jump rings, then loop one through each hole.
Step 7. Loop the end of an earring hook through each jump ring, then use the needle nose pliers to close the jump rings.
