You see, it’s for Valentine’s Day.. And it’s Swooping.. It’s kind of a collage.. And those hearts?
Wasn’t that easy?.You can either make a whole lot of icing, or just a tiny bit for a few little dots and lines, whatever works for you.. You’ll need ziplock bags, large or small, (I find if you’re going to be really intense about the squishing, the name brand ones do tend to hold up better, but dollar store bags work in a pinch too), icing sugar, butter, vanilla, and food coloring.. No matter what amount of icing you decide to make, you’ll need about 1 part butter to 4 parts icing sugar, a splash of vanilla and a few drops of food coloring.
So for example, I used about 1 teaspoon of butter, to 4 teaspoons of icing sugar to get these amounts..If you find your icing is too runny, add a bit more icing sugar.If it’s too thick, add a bit of milk or vanilla.
I have to tell you though, it’s pretty hard to mess up.Fact: Sugar and butter together in pretty much any combination are going to taste amazing..
When everything’s all squished up and combined, cut a little hole (or a bigger one) in the corner of your bags and have fun decorating!.
I did rice krispie squares, just cause Kennedy asked me if I would make them more often and here’s the conversation that ensued when she got home from school that day.. Kennedy (upon spying the treats on the counter): What are those?.is really where all of the living happens in our house.
It’s also our play room, our toy room, and our family room.Believe it or not, it actually works really well for all of those purposes, even with 2 kids and all their toys.
I definitely have a few tricks up my sleeve for dealing with all that stuff, but I also try to keep the room pretty simple, so I only added a few Easter things in here and kept them mostly kid-and-toddler-friendly of course..Yes, that sign does say “Hoppy Easter”.
