The Story: For men over 40, a mustache is fine. But for all the boys who attend my college and have a mustache, it means you don't want a date. It just looks creepy and no one take you seriously, sorry boys!

8 oz cream cheese softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4-5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners.

Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full and bake for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
Frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese for 2 minutes. Add vanilla extract and slowly add powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Add milk to thin out if needed.

Sick day crafts are always needed, and they have to be things that will both put a smile on your child's face and be easy to accomplish! Lighten things up with a five-minute mustache craft.
Materials
- White piece of paper
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Markers or crayons
- Popsicle stick
Directions
1. Draw the shape of a mustache on the paper. Have your child color it in. Older children can draw the mustache themselves. Tip: Mustaches come in all designs and sizes. As a general rule, try to connect two large teardrop shapes, with the round part of the teardrops touching one another.
2. After you finish drawing and coloring your mustache, cut it out.
3. Glue your mustache to the Popsicle stick using a dab of glue from a glue stick.
4. Once the glue is dry, use your imagination to play. Enjoy!

Made with fresh blueberries, this Smash Cake recipe is easy, allergy-friendly, and made without added sugar. It has the most delish Blueberry Frosting, and you can bake the cakes a day ahead if needed. So yummy!
This egg-free is an especially great option for kids with some allergies and it’s also just an easy smash cake to make if you have a kiddo who loves blueberries.
Ingredients You Need
This cake includes whole grain flours, bananas, blueberries, and cinnamon for a flavorful, yet really simple cake. Here’s a look at what you’ll need for the recipe.
Bananas: You’ll want them to be very ripe with lots of brown spots, which indicate sweetness.
Whole wheat flour: This flour has nutrition and fiber but also absorbs moisture well so it helps the cake bake through well.
Oat flour
Baking powder and baking soda
Cinnamon
Butter: preferably with unsalted butter to control the level of salt in the cake.
Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries are stirred into the batter so they’re evenly distributed throughout the cake.
TIP: This cake is a no-added-sugar so the natural sweetness from the fruit shines through.
Step-by-Step Instructions
This smash cake is very easy to make, even if you aren’t a regular baker. Here’s a look at the steps involved. Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full info.
Start with very ripe bananas. The browner they are, the sweeter they will be! Add to a blender and blend into a puree.
Add to a medium bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
Prepare your 6-inch cake pans by coating with nonstick spray and adding a round of parchment paper. This will ensure that the cakes come out of the pans easily once they are baked.
Divide the batter between the pans. Bake and let cool in the pans.
How to Make Natural Frosting with Blueberries
Here’s a look at the general process for making the blueberry frosting.
Place the freeze dried fruit into a blender or spice grinder. Blend to make a fine powder.
Add the rest of the ingredients and the powder to a medium bowl. Beat.
Spread some of the frosting onto one cake. Top with the second cake and add more frosting on top.
Frost the sides to finish.

Santa's Cookies are decorated with a wish list and a glass of cold milk. Santa will Ho Ho Ho for these Christmas cookies!
Santa's Christmas cookies can be decorated with kid's wish lists. Place on a glass of cold milk, Santa will Ho Ho Ho for these sugar cookies.
Plan ahead for these, the royal icing needs 2-3 days to dry solid before you can write on them with edible color markers. I also am sharing creative royal icing decorating ideas and my top tips.
Happy holiday baking, it's a fun tradition to leave Santa cookies and milk on Christmas Eve. Children will love to write their wish lists for Santa. This is the best Christmas cookie recipe, you might be surprised by what the kids ask for...
Christmas Cookie Recipe
Baking Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, add sugar and softened butter. Mix until combined.
Next add egg, baking powder, orange juice, vanilla, and flour. Mix until combined.
Wrap the dough in plastic food wrap and chill until firm.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to ¼ thickness.
Use a square shape cutter (I used a top from a food container) cut out the square. Next, using the big end of an icing decorating tip, cut a small hole in the corner of the cookie for the straw. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet at least 1-2 inches apart.
Heat oven to 400 degrees, and bake 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
Cool completely, then you are ready to decorate.

Delicious Hanukkah stained glass cookies. So easy to make and fun with kids! Create this delicious effect in few easy steps. Sweet, crumbly and oh so yummy. Stained Glass Cookies As you can see, I've been busy making Hanukkah cookies this weekend. My daughters can't complain! They've been helping me roll, cut out, and bake some yummy treats like these beautiful Hanukkah Stained Glass Cookies. I love how these cookies let the light shine through. It has a 'wow' factor with kids and adults. Serve them as dessert for the 8 nights of Hanukkah and it will be a hit.
If you really want to get creative, mix and max stained glass colors to create beautiful combinations.
I chose just one to go with my theme. If you don’t celebrate Hanukkah you can cut out other shapes with cookie cutters or a paring knife.
The possibilities are endless! You can make them square and cut out little hearts or Christmas ornaments with red stained glass.
Believe it or not, these are VERY easy to make and even novice bakers will have success with these Hanukkah Stained Glass Cookies. Your kids can help you roll, shape and decorate them.
It’s a fun activity for a lazy Sunday morning.
To make these cookies, simply make the dough (recipe below). Refrigerate for 30 minutes, roll and cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a rimmed glass.
Place the cookie circles in a jelly roll pan and cut out little shapes using a small cookie cutter. In the center add a piece of hard candy and bake.
If you want, you can crush the hard candy and combine colors and flavors:
The hard candy melts inside the oven creating the stained glass effect. Hope you can try these at home!
