Brain Sprinkles ~ Cookies in a Jar + Printable Tag

Who doesn't need an extra dose 

of SMART every now and then, huh?

Especially when your going BACK TO SCHOOL!! 

Brain Sprinkles ~ Cookies in a Jar!

With my sweet girl, Sophia Rose,

going back to school next week and 

now entering into the THIRD GRADE (gasp!)

I had a feeling she would require

a little brain power as she transitions

from summer's lazy pace, to school's crazy race!

How about your kiddo?

I saw an idea for brain sprinkles made of 

glitter on pinterest HERE and immediately 

knew I could make it into a fun edible craft!

These were super easy. I actually took premade

snickerdoodle cookies from our local bakery and used

a wilton 1M tip to cut out the little round circles -- or you can

use a little round cookie cutter and your own cut-out

recipe if you like! I am all for FAST and FANCY!

I used the Wilton Cookie Icing in white and fun

rainbow jimmies to decorate the cookies.

I am going to give them out to the
neighbor kids too. YUM! 

Here is the Tag in JPEG for you to cut and

paste if you like!! So easy, fun and cute! 

I also have a word document for this

if you prefer, just email me.

On another note, I just had to mention that

this past weekend marked a 10 year

landmark for me with my brain tumor. 10 years

ago last week I entered into a research study at the Mayo

clinic to track patients with brain tumors. At that time

my 10 year survival was estimated to be 20%. Yikes.

Hmmmm. Guess I beat the odds.

To celebrate, I ate some of these 

brain sprinkles and prayed for another 10 years.

Life is short, add the sprinkles.

Pencil Cupcakes ~ A Must Do Re-do!

We just got back from our 

amazing surprise Disney Trip and I wanted

to make something fun, quick

and EASY for BACK TO SCHOOL.

I tried to think of something original but my brain was clouded up with "It's a Small World" playing over and over....and plus...let us be HONEST here...sometimes

other people just have BETTER ideas. 

Like, Confessions of a Cookbook Queen

and this great idea for PENCIL CUPCAKES.

I whipped these babies out in like 10 minutes.

I call it a Must-Do, Re-Do!

I had the fushia, silver and yellow cupcake wrappers on hand and just cut the fushia and silver wrappers down and glued them all together. The Queen has a great cupcake wrapper template you can use to make your own wrappers from construction paper, so click on the link to check it out.

I had some cupcakes frozen in the freezer and thawed those puppies along with some buttercream that I tinted the organe-y, light brownie color.

I also keep some wilton premade tube decorating icing on hand in red and black which really helped out here for the pencil tip!

VIOLA

Here is to people who have better ideas and to those who replicate their ideas to keep them in business!
