Mickey Mouse and his Clubhouse gang were the centerpiece of the dessert table at my son’s Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 3rd birthday party.

Making gingerbread houses definitely takes more time than buying the pre-made kits but it allows you to customize the design. And if you’re planning to eat the house, the homemade gingerbread and buttercream frosting taste a lot better than packaged store-bought kinds, too!

HO! HO! HO! and Merry Christmas from my itsy bitsy foodies family to yours. This is the first year that my older son has really keyed into Santa Claus so I thought it would be fun to make him a Santa Claus ice cream sundae.

Playing with food is not always a bad thing and in this case, it is the perfect way to turn your winter mealtimes into a fun art project {especially when indoor projects to keep your kiddos busy are sorely needed!}. This time around we made Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer pulling a sleigh full of toys.

Lunches around here have been pretty fun lately because my son and I have been using our Christmas and winter cookie cutters to make edible art scenes. This is one instance where I think playing with food is perfectly acceptable! It is especially perfect for a cold winter day when you need an indoor project.

The trick to these treats is using a mini doughnut stacked on top of each cupcake to complete the pumpkin shape. Use candies or icing to turn some of them into jack-o-lanterns.

The ever-popular Halloween candy presented the perfect inspiration for a fondant layer cake. I knew that I could use basic food coloring and get perfectly colored candy corn layers. This time I wanted to see if I could achieve a similar result with natural dyes.

I’ve been wanting to make cake pops for a long time now. They are the perfect little bite-sized treat to satisfy your sweet craving, a creative way to use left-over cake and frosting, and cute little party favors or gifts. They also make a fun edible art project for kids.
