Cake POPS with Babycakes
Babycakes offers a line of electric cake makers that heat up in five minutes, require very little cleaning, and bake treats in eight minutes or less. Whether you want to celebrate with cupcakes, cake pops or even mini donuts, Babycakes appliances help create quick Birthday desserts or an easy treat for that last-minute party invite or family time.
The treat makers come with dozens of recipes to challenge you to go beyond the expected confections and try your hand at quiche, mini-pies, muffins, breakfast puffs or whatever else you can think up.
Being the Cupcake addict and wishing I could create those yummy cake pops only made sense to jump at the chance to review a Babycake Cake Pops electric treat maker and begin a new addiction in the Novotny home.
I have found several new recipes to try out in our Babycakes Cake pops maker and am ready for our next celebration to create fun Cake pops on a stick to share with family and friends. You can also google "Cake Pops" and find tons of ideas on decorating your Cake Pops to go along with your next celebration theme.
And don't forget Back to School celebrations - check out this fun Apple Cake pop I found over at Lori's Lipsmacking Goodness. Click here to read her how to.
For more information and to purchase your own Babycakes Treat makers click here.
** “I wrote this review whileparticipating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Babycakes we received a complimentary Babycakes treat appliance and gift card to thank us fortaking the time to participate.

Summer Birthday Party Themes on a Budget
By: Brandee Malcolm
The sun is blazing, the local pool is beyond crowded and you need to take a time out to plan a summer birthday party.
Summer is a wonderful time to plan a party, because you get to have the outside as your canvas, and let your creative juices flow and let loose. Most families in America are on a tight budget and therefore, the fancy waterpark, children’s museum; local pizza/arcade party isn’t always feasible. So what do you do? Here are my suggestions for some great themed parties you can do on a budget.
First, a pirate themed party is always a hit, but why not do it outside with a buried treasure and a treasure map. Make pirate hats out of construction paper. As a craft make a telescope out of a paper towel or toilet paper roll, decorate it with construction paper and other sparkle’s you could even go as far as to have children cut a picture out of a magazine and attach it to one end of the scope so when they look out they actually see something. Draw a treasure map and have your birthday child and guests search for the “treasure”. Once found the treasure could contain goody bags with bought trinkets from a cheap store or you could buy a bulk bag of sparkly fake crystals. Your little pirate will love the fun of their special day.
Another idea is to make a backyard birthday splash zone, set up different stations in your backyard each with a different activity. For example, have one station have a sprinkler, another station a tub , big storage containers come in handy for this, and fill it full of water and dish soap bubbles throw some toys in, wading pool for another station, sun tan station with lawn chairs for relaxing Play some summer beach music and you are ready to hit the pool. Make bubbles as an activity here is a link with directions on making homemade bubbles, http://babyparenting.about.com/cs/activities/a/bubbles.htm.
Older kids may enjoy an outside movie night themed party. Choose your movies, pop some popcorn and get beverages and set up with a portable DVD player or move your TV outside. Sit on blankets and let the party begin.
Camping birthday party, Start by setting up tents, start a fire and roast hot dogs and smores. You could even tape a cd of nature sounds to play to make it more realistic. As a party favor make copies of that cd and send it home. Tell stories and sing songs.
These are just a few ideas that are sure to have your little ones have a summer birthday they will not forget.

Celebrate Schools Out With DIY Candy Leis
DIY Birthday Plate
By Leslie Pleasants
Everyone has a birthday in your family so why not make it just a little bit more special with a tradition. Make a Birthday Plate that you bring out any time someone has a birthday. Whoever's birthday it is that person gets to eat off of that plate. If you want to make a plate for each person in the family you can do that too and personalize it with their name.
Ceramic Plate
Porcelaine brand ceramic paint
(pens or brush on)
*if you use a brand other then Porcelaine make sure its
non-toxic and dishwasher safe
Make sure you wash the plate and take off any stickers. Completely dry. Now you can use stencils or freehand you design. You might be a scrapbooker and already have a cupcake stencil or have a cricut and make a stencil or purchase one from the store. This doesn't have to be perfect so you can make it your own.
Balloons
Cupcake
Cake
Candles
"Happy Birthday!"
"It's Your Day!"
Present
Remember you have the middle of the plate to decorate but you can also decorate the edge of the plate too!
Directions:
Follow the directions on the paint. You might need a second coat. Let the first coat dry first before applying the second coat though. Until the plate is baked you can fix any mistakes you made by washing them off. Or you can use a Q-tip. In order for these plates to be used with food, the plates MUST be baked following the manufactures directions on the label. These plates will last for years and years. Even through the dishwasher!!
