Triple Berry Fruit Pizza {4th of July snack!}

I have an adorable tutorial for you! I found it at Crave Indulge Satisfy {a really sweet blog and a new fave of mine!} 

You can't say no to this one...even if 4th of July is around the corner, it's so easy and they look delicious!

Tripe Berry Fruit Pizzas

(makes 18 mini pizzas)

Ingredients

-1 package Sugar cookie mix (or roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough)
-1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
-1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
-1 cup Cool Whip
-Fresh Fruit: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (or whatever else you prefer)

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Prepare sugar cookie mix as package directs for roll out cookies.
• Roll out dough onto lightly floured surface and cut out mini pizzas using round cookie cutter. I used a 2 5/8" cutter.
• Place cookies on prepared cookie sheets and refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes to chill before baking. This will prevent the cookies from spreading when baking.
• Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool completely before icing.
• In medium bowl mix together cream cheese, confectioner's sugar and Cool Whip until smooth.
• Spread icing on pizzas and decorate with desired fruit.
• Fruit pizzas are best enjoyed the day they are made. You can store in an air tight refrigerator for up to 2 days.

 

Look how pretty!

Rainbow Cupcakes

March is here!! full of color, pots full of gold, shamrocks, and of course Rainbow Cupcakes!

Have a you ever attended to make these cuties at home but had no idea how to?...it's no so hard! it's actually really fun :)

Just follow this easy tutorial via Spearmint Baby

As directed by Spearmint Baby

Directions:

Mix up a box of white cake mix. (i used Betty Crocker) preferably a recipe that uses egg whites and oil instead of butter (your colors will come out better and cupcakes will brown less.)
*divide batter into bowls

Add your food coloring. i used McCormick's neon pack for my pink, green, blue, and purple. then i mixed the neon pink with the yellow from the original pack to get my orange. this is really just a guestimate until you get the desired colors.

Line your muffin pan with cupcake wrappers. i used silver cupcake wrappers to make "surprise" cupcakes and white/clear wrappers for the rest of the cupcakes:

Using a fork or spoon drizzle each color on top of the next. i used forks because i found that it gave me more control. do not try to spread the colors out on your own (it will cause your colors to mix).

purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink

Bake (as directed on your cake mix-i baked about 21 min.) let cool and frost them if you like.

Enjoy!!
