We love that with a few simple Halloween party supplies, you can dress up ordinary food ideas, and instantly transform them into adorable healthy Halloween treats!

With all of the sugar of Halloween, we thought we’d give you a few ideas for making the healthy Halloween treats just as fun. Get your adorable Halloween cupcake wrappers here, and fill ‘em up with these good for you Halloween food ideas. Presentation is everything, and the kids will love it!

Get a little witchy with these string cheese brooms! With a paper straw, and half of a string cheese stick, create these terribly cute Halloween treats! It’s so easy to bring your own party colors into this treat by swapping the straw color! Get your stripy paper straws here.

This is the simplest, cutest Halloween treat idea ever. Just pull out a Sharpie marker, and give each little clementine a face. Rest each one in a Mini Skirtz cupcake wrapper, and display them on the party table. Fruit just got a little more popular!

Everyone loves popcorn. These popcorn balls are a quick mix of warmed corn syrup with a flavor of your choice. Shape them into balls on these perfectly retro wooden sticks and nestle them in a spooky cupcake wrapper for a perfect Halloween display.

Even easier, try a popcorn buffet. Make a tower of favorite popcorn flavors, such as caramel, cheese, or traditional buttered popcorn. Place some fun party bags next to the tower for party guests to fill.

Caramel apples are a fall favorite, but can be sticky and tricky to display. Here we have rested each gooey goody in a cupcake wrapper, making it gorgeously ghoulish. It creates a striking display and a tidy way to eat these monstrous treats.

Are caramel apples too messy for your crowd? Try these caramel apple cups. Simply pour the caramel in the bottom of clear cups and top with sliced apples. Use cupcake wrappers to dress up the cups.

Cheese and crackers become a preciously spooky treat simply by tucking a baking liner into your cupcake wrappers and filling them with sliced cheeses and your favorite crackers.

Feed your little goblins well.

Mini desserts are fantastic because, you get to indulge in several sweet treats without overdoing it. That’s partly why dessert tables are all the rage right now. Dessert tables are perfect for weddings, anniversary parties, reunions, birthday parties, or showers, adding elegance to any occasion.

Mini desserts look so sweet in mini cupcake wrappers, highlighted on trays and platters. Tiered cake stands add height to the dessert display. Here are a few ideas for filling those Mini Skirtz mini cupcake wrappers on your next dessert table.

Great ways to use those mini cupcake wrappers

* Oreos tied in pretty bundles with a little ribbon.

We bundled three Oreo cookies together with some ribbon tied in a simple knot. To make these humble chocolate cookies presentable for our posh dessert table, we dropped the bundles into Little Black Dress Mini Skirtz, mini cupcake wrappers by Confetti Couture.

* Tea light candles

We placed the tea lights that come in a tiny glass holder (from the dollar store!) inside these mini cupcake wrappers. We love that the candles can so easily coordinate with our event, and the reversible Mini Skirtz cupcake wrappers bring the style up a notch.

* Names on soda bottles

Nothing worse than taking a sip of your drink at a party… and realizing it belongs to Uncle Ralph. Name labels for drink bottles are so popular, maybe solely for this reason, but we think not. They are a lovely addition to otherwise ordinary party fare. Confetti Couture’s mini cupcake wrappers have an aqueous coating, so they are perfect for writing a name, and sliding them around the neck of soda bottles. Simply tie a coordinating ribbon above the cupcake wrapper on each bottle, to keep them in place.

* Two-bite brownies

The simple two-bite brownie makes a statement at the party with some easy accessories. Just slip them into mini cupcake wrappers, and top each brownie with a small chunk of a chocolate bar paired with a fresh cherry. Caramel sauce and a gooey, caramel filled chocolate candy on top makes another sinfully delicious treat in seconds.

* Cake pops

Cake pops are so much fun, and can be extravagantly decorated. We are not pastry chefs of any sort... but we do know yumminess. So, make some delectable cake pops and serve them using these darling cake pop kits. Don’t worry if you aren’t the type that can craft a perfect storybook character out of sugar. These reversible mini cupcake wrappers hold your confection of perfection ever so stylishly. And even if it’s less than perfect, it will look drop-dead-gorgeous!

The precious mini cake plate in the photo? It’s simply a full size, Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrapper, assembled and placed upside-down. To the cupcake wrapper, we glued a coaster. These adorable tiny cake stands work beautifully for dessert tables, party tables, place cards and so much more.

We say go mini, or go home. Or go mini at home. Well, you get the picture. Mini treats are the way to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth at your next party.

Throwing a Super Bowl party? The only way to go is EASY. If it’s complicated, allow me to be blunt enough to say that you’re doing it wrong. A Super Bowl party is the epitome of relaxation… football fans lining the couches, a timeout for great (junk) food and some laughs at halftime. No need for being fussy!

Here are some easy Super Bowl party food ideas that will impress…

We want to take the guesswork out of the Super Bowl party for you, and introduce the four game day food groups with great ideas for making it simple. To make the cut, they had to be easy, tasty, and good lookin’. Extra points are given for individual servings of party food that football fans can easily transport to the couch without it landing on their favorite team jersey during that big play.

Photo and recipe from Food Network

Buffalo Wings-

Will the Super Bowl actually go on if you don’t serve chicken wings? Just asking. Easy enough to bake in your oven to a crispy brown to avoid a huge oily mess. Easier yet to order them from your local wing joint.

How to make this into individual servings-

Place a dollop of bleu cheese or ranch dressing in the bottom of each clear plastic cup. Fill each cup with wings.

7 layer dip-

This all-time favorite game day dip is easy to make and can be made in advance.

How to make this into individual servings-

Layer the ingredients into individual cups, and serve a huge bowl of chips on the side.

Photo and recipe from Tried and True Cooking with Heidi

Meatballs-

Men and meatballs. Need we say more? (Oh my, get your mind out of the gutter!)

How to make this into individual servings- (Stop now, really.)

Place a meatball, then a bit of onion and bell pepper, and another meatball onto a wooden lollipop stick. Heat this in the oven until it’s cooked through. Be sure to soak the wooden lollipop sticks in water so they won’t burn in the oven. Warm BBQ sauce makes a great dip for these. (next course!)

Veggies and dip-

Anyone can pull together a veggie platter, right? It’s even better served in cups. Put a dollop of dip in the bottom of each cup and fill them with veggies. They transport beautifully, and you can double dip all you like!

There you have it. The four balanced food groups of a Super Bowl party- wings, chips, meat, and dips (with a couple veggies on the side, shh).

You’re sure to score points with your guests with this game plan, and it’s so easy, you might even get to watch the Super Bowl… or at least the commercials.

Creating a baby shower menu can be a tad tricky. Have you considered the mom-to-be’s dietary restrictions? Cravings? The figure conscious guests? On top of it all, you still want it to be fun and elegant, right? We have some ideas for you…

The sweet pea theme for a baby shower is darling if done right! Adorable for a boy or girl, these cupcake wrappers are hand painted elegance to use in so many ways for your baby shower. Beautiful for the cupcakes, of course, but also on single serve salad cups. This amazing do-ahead menu item is healthful, pretty, and easy. Just layer the ingredients in the cups beginning with the salad dressing on the bottom. The guests can toss their own salad right in the cup, and the lettuce won’t get mushy with the dressing on the bottom.

More baby shower menu ideas…

Here are some other tried and true menu items that will keep everyone happy.

* Bruschetta- easy to make or buy the toppings ahead of time, and toast the bread just before the shower.

* Fruit kebabs with fruit dip. The fruit looks so elegant on wooden lollipop sticks, and can be made in advance as well. Tasty dips are easy to find or make yourself.

* Yogurt parfaits- healthful, and can even be served for guests to build their own. Just offer the cups, granola, nuts, and fruits. Clear plastic cups skirted with Sweet Pea cupcake wrappers are great for this menu item as well.

* For the protein, a smoked salmon tray is so elegant and easy. Just serve a tray of salmon with cream cheese, a few capers and lemon wedges. Crackers on the side will finish the presentation.

Cupcakes on the baby shower menu are a great way to avoid a messy cake that needs to be cut. You can make your own cupcake tower in minutes, and those precious Sweet Pea cupcake wrappers are great for cupcakes, too!

Decorating Christmas cupcakes is easier than you think. The red and white swirls of frosting on these Christmas cupcakes make them festive and fun. You will need a few supplies…

* White frosting
* Red food coloring
* Frosting bag fitted with an oversized frosting tip
* Christmas cupcake wrappers
* Baked cupcakes

Christmas cupcake wrappers:

Drop the cupcakes into the cupcake wrappers before you begin to frost. Confetti Couture offers two fun Christmas cupcake wrappers collections. Elf Laundry Dessert Skirtz are traditional red and green Christmas cupcake wrappers with playful elf clothes strung from the laundry line.

Holiday Brilliance Dessert Skirtz bring a contemporary look with a whimsical Christmas tree design. These pink and green cupcakes wrappers are a step off the beaten path.

Decorating your Christmas Cupcakes:

Separate half of the frosting into a bowl. Add the red food coloring and mix. Then, fill the frosting bag on one side with the red frosting, taking care to leave the opposite side of the bag clean. Now, put the white frosting in the bag, opposite the red frosting. Squeeze a bit of the frosting out onto a plate until you have a bit of red and a bit of white frosting in each squeeze of your frosting bag.

In three smooth swirls, pipe the red and white frosting onto the top of each cupcake.

That’s it. Now celebrate.

Hot cocoa Christmas cupcakes:

Christmas cupcakes make the sweetest dessert on Christmas day, but they also make a perfect small gift for the teacher, Christmas party treat, or Christmas party favor. Use these creative cupcake packaging ideas to transform any ordinary cupcake into a divine display of sweet goodness. This hot cocoa cupcake, dusted in cocoa and topped with a marshmallow, will melt even Mr. Scrooge’s heart. The clear mug lets the sweet Elf Laundry Christmas cupcake wrappers show through. For a topper, we used a plastic candy cane ornament. These creative Christmas cupcakes make great office gifts or Christmas party favors.

Cupcake creations, in a jar:

Creative containers turn otherwise ordinary cupcakes into festive cupcake creations. For these Christmas cupcakes, we used short, round jars. The cupcakes are skirted with the polka dot Christmas cupcake wrappers from the Elf Laundry Dessert Skirtz collection. We used a festive red and white striped ribbon to attach a spoon… gift-worthy.

Christmas Cupcakes in lanterns:

We placed these festive Christmas cupcakes in mini lanterns. Topped with a candied orange slice and cranberry, this one is a handful of Christmas cheer. The best part… the lantern is a candle holder. It’s a gift in a gift. Candles and cupcakes, what’s not to love?

Jingle bell cupcakes!

These chocolate cupcakes are covered in creamy cherry frosting. The cupcakes are skirted with fun, pink and green Christmas cupcake wrappers. The toppers are oversized pink jingle bells…easy as can be. How sweet will these Christmas cupcakes look on your table? Make a statement!

The Cute Cupcakes:

These are some seriously CUTE cupcakes, and so easy to make. Start with a chocolate cupcake and make frost with peppermint frosting. You can make this by adding a touch of peppermint extract to white frosting. For the easiest ever cupcake decorating ideas…top your frosted Christmas cupcakes with a peppermint candy ball for extra cuteness… and to cover any not so cute frosting mishaps. The finishing touch is the ADORABLE Elf Laundry cupcake wrappers. These Christmas cupcake wrappers come in collections of three perfectly coordinated designs. Hand painted cuteness adorning peppermint cupcakes… what could be better? Use them for all of your cupcake decorating ideas to create polished couture cupcakes every time.

We used the cupcake wrappers to line our cake tier as well. We gave instructions on how to recreate this cupcake display in the last post, so check it out if you missed that. For the sweet plaid border, simply join the plaid cupcake wrappers from your Elf Laundry collection together by inserting the tab of one cupcake wrapper into the slot of the next cupcake wrapper and continue in this pattern until you’ve created a circle. We used 5 wrappers for this. Finally, we created a miniature cake tier with small cake circle placed on top of an empty cupcake wrapper, turned upside down. We placed sweet Oreo bundles tied with a festive ribbon on this tiny cake tier.

The Cotton Candy Display:

Cotton candy is all the rage right now, and it looks like snow if you use white cotton candy! Cute. We created these precious elf hat cones to serve our puffs of white cotton candy. They are made by rolling a piece of citrus green scrapbooking paper into a cone shape. Use your Elf Laundry Christmas cupcake wrappers to form the brim of the elf hat, and staple or glue-dot them into place. Finish the hats off with a handmade pom-pom attached with some hot glue. Fill them up with cotton candy just before your party. We used clothes pins to hang the hats! Really cute.

This dessert table is part of the Elf Laundry party plan that we have… free for you! We created this Elf Laundry themed party and have the complete how-to for you! Now you have no excuse, you just have to do it. We’ve done the planning for you! Today, we’ll show you how to set up this amazing Christmas dessert table in shades of red and green. Not to worry if you don’t own the exact items you see on this dessert table, we’ll give you the menu and a road map for setting up a table of your own… with items you have in your own house.

Dessert Table Set Up

Setting up a table just for desserts has become a popular trend and a great way to entertain. The food becomes a part of the party décor and makes the event feel so special. Tiny tidbits of a variety of desserts allow the guests to nibble and sample. Here is a complete plan for setting up a table for your own party. This dessert table feature is great for the holidays, because you can just set it up and fill it with new desserts whenever the fancy strikes. Whether you are planning a party or it’s just the family, this will be a precious addition to your Christmas décor. Get your Elf Laundry cupcake wrappers while they are still in stock for the season to complete this look!

Start with the table. A simple folding table pushed against a wall works beautifully. Before setting the table in place, we hung a red velvet fabric on the wall as a backdrop for our dessert table. Then, we put the table in place and draped it all the way to the floor with a solid green fabric. Don’t worry that the fabric doesn’t cover the entire table, just use masking tape to secure the fabric to the top of the table so that the bottom edge just skims the floor. Next use a festive wrapping paper and unroll it across the top of the table. We used a fun red and white wrapping paper.

Now, look around your house for items of varying heights, or items that can be stacked to create the height. These items you collect don’t necessarily need to be cake tiers and the such. Maybe you have beautiful candle sticks or hurricanes. Lamps, vases, planters, and other home décor items are also great choices. For our table, we used jumbo gumball machines for height on either side of a retro metal cart. The idea is to put the items with height in the back and arrange them across the table. It doesn’t have to be perfectly symmetrical, just balanced.

For the next level, look for items that are shorter that the first set. For our table, we used empty metal cans and hot glued two cardboard cake circles together. Then glue the cake circles to the tops of the cans. Finally, we attached the pom-pom garland around the edges.

Front and center, we placed a low tray filled with decorated sugar cookies. This could be anything from a platter to a low profile bowl or a similar tray.

The desserts themselves are really very simple, and can be swapped for your favorites if you like.

Our Christmas Dessert Menu:

* Sugar cookie cutouts- elf hats and socks
* Chocolate cupcakes with peppermint frosting
* Oreo cookie bundles
* Cotton candy
* Brownie pops
* Oreo pops
* Gumballs
* Milk

With entertaining at Thanksgiving comes loads of cooking and clean up. Make it easy on yourself, and create a special Thanksgiving brunch for your guests that doesn’t include more cooking on Thanksgiving morning.

On the buffet: pumpkin muffins, mini cinnamon rolls, mini pecan tarts, and sweet Seckel pears.

You can make all of these brunch treats ahead of time and stash them in your freezer. Pull them out the night before, and you and your guests will wake up to a gorgeous continental breakfast, or with the addition of an egg strata… a beautiful Thanksgiving brunch. Egg strata is a perfect make ahead dish. Just assemble the ingredients the night before, and place the casserole dish in the fridge. When you get up in the morning, pop it into the oven. Amazing… and amazingly easy.

The finishing touch for your Thanksgiving brunch is a crock pot filled with spiced apple cider. Just fill the crock pot with cider and some mulling spices in a cheesecloth bundle the night before. Ready when you awake! We used Autumn Nights Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers to dress our cider cups. Dresses a plastic cup for the occasion. No need to wash dishes!

One of my favorite things is setting the table for fall. With fall color inspiration, the table becomes a work of art. Nature is ready and waiting to help you color your blank canvas. With inspiration from your favorite fall color palette, gather items from around your house and outside to create a layered look of warm, fall colors.

Add in a pop of unexpected color for interest. Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers from the Autumn Nights collection make the perfect packaging for your party favors. They look gorgeous on your place settings, and your guests will be sweetly surprised. These inexpensive and easy party favors are a favorite. They are simmering sachets… just add it to a pot of simmering water for the smell of fall to swirl throughout your home. In addition to party favors, they make great homemade Christmas gifts.

Cake plate dreaming…Wouldn’t it be great if you had a magical cabinet? Each time you open the door, cake plates that perfectly coordinate with your party or event would be right inside? Love it. Well, we don’t have a magical cabinet for you, but we do have some DIY cake plate ideas that will make you feel as if you do. With a few supplies on hand, you can create cake plates or a cupcake tower in minutes.

This darling birthday party cupcake tower was created with cardboard cake circles with ribbon pinned to the edges, and clear vases. For the complete “how to” check out this cupcake tower tutorial. What we love about this one is that the clear vases can be filled with any type of candy, flowers, tissue, or other decorations in any colors. We used the whimsical, hand painted hats on the Birthday Wishes Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers collection as our color inspiration.

With just a mirror repurposed into an oversized platter, and a tiered plant stand topped with vases and dessert plates, we created this DIY cupcake tower with items from around the house. Add in some punches of color with fabric and cupcake wrappers. We chose Autumn Nights Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers, and accented with the color of the minute… warm plum. Notice what a difference these reversible cupcake wrappers make as compared to the cupcakes in their wrinkled panties!

This cupcake tower is super simple to create and inexpensive, too. We used a cylindrical vase, but a coffee can would work just as well. We covered it in scrapbooking paper that coordinated with our dessert table, and attached it with double sided tape. We simply set a large platter on top, upside down, because it has a lip. A cardboard cake circle trimmed in ribbon would be perfect as well. For more stability, or to make it more permanent, the platter can be glued to the can or vase.

Piece of cake!

Made a dent in the candy stash? Enough is enough? Ready for savory?

Dropping clear plastic cups into Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers creates a perfect single serving for each guest that coordinates beautifully with your party décor. Here are some ideas for dressing the savory party foods in your Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers…

Veggies and Dip in cupcake wrappers

Fill each cup with a dollop of dip and a handful of bright veggies.

7 Layer Dip in cupcake wrappers

Let ‘em double dip to their hearts content! Bean dip and chips: an all-time party food favorite.

Shrimp Cocktail in cupcake wrappers

Fill a plastic cup with ice to keep the shrimp cold. Drop the cup into your favorite Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers. Place the shrimp around the rim of the cup, and drop a mini cup of cocktail sauce in the center. Perfect.
