Pool Party Captions

To go along with my artsy fartsy pool party theme I made captions for all the food. 

Get some cheeto like cheese balls and call them "beach balls" 

I mad my own guacamole but you can buy what ever dip you want so people can "take a dip" in it but don't forget the "rafts" for the dip (chips)

Get some licorice to use as the "pool noodles"

And this isn't a caption but this is how I decorated my house. 

After the pool party I had everyone over to watch a movie.

But I used old balloons (my dads 50th balloons but just turned the 50 around)

Blow up mattress on the floor along with the couches and a ton of pillows!

I have a small house so if you do too I'm sure you can make do and do what I did as well!

Cupcake Cones

This is some more baking fun artsy fartsy stuff that is easy to do!

If you like cupcakes and ice cream cones this is the project for you!

All you do is take cupcake mix and put them in the cones instead of putting them in a cupcake pan. In order to bake these though I put the ice cream cone (filled with the mix) in the cupcake pan so it would have some balance. After they were done baking the tops will rise and you just need to cut them off to flatten them out and put the icing on them.  

In order to make the nice swirl on the cupcake cones you dump most of the frosting you have into a ziploc bag and make a little cut into the corner of the bag and hand swirl it over the cones. The cute little birthday decorations I have on the cupcakes were from Michaels and they were really cheap! Perfect to add a little flair to the cupcakes.  

Note to self: I ended up with way too many ice cream cones so consider how many people are coming because odds are, if you have a cake and cupcake cones they will only want one of the cones and you will be left with SO much extra.
