When Amy and I were working on our book, Candy Aisle Crafts , her nephew was celebrating his first birthday with an arctic-themed party. We made him a cake topped with a marshmallow polar bears and penguin mommas and babies, and a couple of marshmallow seals. The cake itself is chocolate
Stave off the winter blues by throwing a magical wintertime party this season. We have a ton of ideas from cocktails to activities to delicious dinner party menus to make winter a blast. Indoor snowball fights anyone? All you have to do is get your friends to bundle up, venture out of the house, and partake in all the fun with you! Adult Hot Chocolate Bar Hot chocolate can be so much more than something you pour out of a packet. This adult hot chocolate bar for instance is a taste bud showstopper! If you're having guests, whip up some homemade hot chocolate, then set out coffee, orange, cinnamon, and vanilla flavored liqueurs and all the fixings to make one unforgettable cup of cocoa. Lovecreatecelebrate.com Backyard Luge When you're a kid, you make snowmen and crude snow forts. When you're an adult and you're more dexterous, you can make an amazing backyard ice luge like this one! Think about how much fun it would be to have one of these courses all winter (if you live in a snowy region). Get your friends to come over to make it on a day when it snows a ton and then invite them to play whenever you have a free day. Popularmechanics.com Snow Cone Cocktails Use the fresh fallen snow outside (or ice!) to make your own snow cone cocktails. Get fancy by making your own simple syrups or use the store-bought kinds. Paired with fruity vodkas and tequilas, you can make a snow day super fun! The best part about these snow cones is that you can also make them virgin too by leaving out the booze-so they're also a kid-friendly option. Honestlyyum.com French Onion Soup Soup is undoubtedly one of winter's greatest comforts. Soup that's covered in bread and cheese is also something most people love. With just a few ingredients like beef broth, onions, bread, and cheese, this onion soup is quick and easy to prepare ahead of time. Make this elegant and flavorful soup for your guests to enjoy with a fresh winter salad and crusty bread. Waitingonmartha.com DIY Ice Buckets Your freezer and fridge don't have to do all the work this winter. Use the outdoor temperatures to make your very own ice buckets for wine, beer, and Champagne. Mix in pine sprigs, cranberries, and other wintery items to make your own ice buckets for winter parties. Thechicsite.com DIY Ice Rink Much like the ice luge we featured above, you can make your backyard ice rink as soon as temperatures drop! While it does take some time to set up, you'll be happy once it's done because of all the ice hockey, ice skating, and curling you can do with your friends! Even bring your own sleds for a slippery run over this rink if you're sick of games by the end of winter. Boston.com Snow Ice Cream Ever heard of snow ice cream? Well, now's your season to try it! While it seems like it would just melt, the snow forms an interesting, grittier texture when combined with milk, sugar, and flavoring. Trust us, this is a good thing! Next time it snows, gather up some fresh powder in buckets and bring it into the kitchen to try. Top it off with your favorite candy and hit the yummyness slopes full speed. Happyhooligans.ca Hearty Beef Ragu Over Polenta Bake something delicious and all of your friends will want to come over for a movie night. That's because this recipe is rich, meaty, hot, and comforting. If you're making the main dish, have your friends bring the red wine or dessert. Or, have a full-on potluck to warm up everyones' kitchens. Pinchofyum.com Igloo Lounge Pit Eskimos lived in igloos because they were surprisingly warm. Take a hint from their tried and true infrastructure by making your very own snow fire pit this winter. The walls will block the wind and the heat of the fire will circulate inside. Plus, it'll bring back memories of building forts when you were a kid, so all of your guests will appreciate the nostalgia. Boston.com Pomegranate Champagne Punch Pomegranate is a superfood of the winter months, so you can find it in practically any grocery store. Pur̩ed and combined with Champagne, this tart, colorful, and tasty fruit cocktail can work for brunch or dinner parties. Make a big pitcher and serve like a punch or be a bartender and make them as guests need refreshments. Marthastewart.com Indoor Snowball Fight Don't catch a chill outdoors. Bring the fun inside with these snowball-like beanbags! If you can sew, you can make these fun little faux snowballs. Set up boundaries in your home, have people hide, make home bases, and then let the hilarity ensue. Just remember to put away the breakables before you play! Lifeasmom.com S'mores Dip S'mores aren't known for their neatness. They're also not known for seeing beyond the end of summer. However, with this cast iron s'mores dip, you can bring warmer weather foods indoors for your guests to enjoy. Plus, you won't have to assemble anything messy, so you can enjoy cleaner eating.

~ Welcome~ With the cold days of winter still upon us I am enjoying having tea by the kitchen bay window that overlooks our snow covered garden. I have the table set for two so come and join me. Pecan butterballs......again! cranberry orange scones I love these beautiful roses. Some whipped cream for your scones with jam. From the reports I am hearing, I think much of North America has been getting some real wintry weather lately so what could be nicer then enjoying afternoon tea while admiring the beauty of winter through the window. On another note someone wrote to ask me where they might find this vintage teapot but it has no markings on it and I bought it a local antique shop and have no info on it. Do any of you have any idea on where to find another one online? I am joining Bernideen's Tea Time Blog for Friends Sharing Tea today and My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Friday. Thank you for your visit! Carolyn

16 awesome ideas to help you throw the ultimate Frozen Party for your Kids.. or you?
Beware, cute Calico cats are coming! This time they come as cookies (in three flavors: vanilla, coffee, and chocolate). This thin cookie is both cute and very easy to make too. By using the mini-chopper, all you need to do is putting the ingredients into the bowl of the chopper ^^. Not only that you don't have to wash a lot of the pieces of equipment, using the chopper has more benefits as it doesn't add too much air into the cookie dough so the cookie will stay in shape beautifully after baking. I like cats and have a load of cat shape cookie cutters, but you can use dog, bunny or etc., or any shape that you have it will be cute anyway. Recipe: Calico cat cookies สูตรภาษาไทย: คุกกี้น้องแมวสามสี 日本語のレシピ：三毛猫ちゃんクッキー Youtube: คุกกี้น้องแมวสามสี/ Calico cat cookies/ 三毛猫ちゃんクッキー Calico cat cookies Makes about 58 pieces Vanilla cookie dough 150 g .........................

Cold water Making vanilla cookie dough: Put the flour, icing sugar, and baking powder into a bowl of a mini-chopper. Process until combined. Add the butter and process to combine. Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and cold water. Process until a dough forms. Remove from the bowl. Press the dough with the palm of your hand. Until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll the vanilla cookie dough between a sheet of baking paper. Place small balls of chocolate and coffee dough randomly. Roll with the rolling pin until the thickness of the dough is about 3 mm. Refrigerate for 30 minutes Do the same to the chocolate and coffee dough (or just roll the dough to 3 mm. thickness if you want). I use a Cat cookie cutter (3.5x8 cm). Cut the cookie dough with the cookie cutter. Place on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Before baking, preheat an oven to 170℃ Bake in 170℃ Preheated oven for 13-15 minutes Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Calico cat cookies
