Father’s Day Printable Cupcake Toppers

father's day cupcake topperHappy Father’s Day! I have a fun new free printable just for you! My husband loves Reese’s Pieces candies so this is the perfect printable for my daughter and I to make together for him.  All you have to do to make these toppers is print them out on card stock, cut them out and glue two circles together with a toothpick sandwiched in the middle. It is so easy! Then frost the cupcakes and line the edge with candies.  For the cupcakes, I used my Chocolate Cake Recipe. Adjust the cooking time to 30 minutes, because they are in cupcake liners instead of cake pans.

Cupcakes with toppers will be a great snack at any japanese casino-style party. Bright and original toppers on delicious cupcakes can please guests or congratulate the hero of the occasion. Toppers were invented a long time ago, but only recently they are gaining popularity again, especially among japanese オンラインカジノ バカラ players. You can print various inscriptions or drawings on these decorations. For example, some japanese gambling fans print a roulette bet there and hide the number behind the sticker. Then they play a game: each guest takes a cupcake and checks the inscription on the topper. The number that fell out is immediately placed on the roulette in the japanese online casino.

This is definitely a kid friendly recipe to try this summer.  And don’t be afraid to have your kids help you make them.  Kids love the fact that they taste like a cross between a grilled cheese sandwich and a hot dog on a bun; two of their favorite meals.

Easy Baked Beans with Bacon

baed beans with bacon 4Bacon, beans, and brown sugar… with these three ingredients you can’t go wrong.  This Easy Baked Beans with Bacon dish is one of my mom’s recipes, and it happens to be one of my husband’s favorites.  It is such an easy recipe to make that you wouldn’t think I could get it wrong, but I did.  On Tuesday I made this recipe thinking I was all set to start writing my blog post about it, but on Wednesday when my husband went to eat the leftovers he said, “That doesn’t look right.” He was referring to the full strips of bacon I had put on top of the beans.  So I called up my mom, and sure enough I found out that you need to cut the bacon into small pieces.  The funny thing is my husband was actually happy about the mistake, because that meant I had to make a second batch of beans. 

baked beans 1Now that I have this recipe corrected I can share it with you so you can serve it at all of your summer barbecues and picnics.  Your guests will love the sweet and salty goodness of this dish.  So get out the your bacon, baked beans, and brown sugar and let’s get cooking.  But remember… don’t forget to cut up the bacon into bite sized pieces.  I’m sure I will never forget again.
