I made this version pink inspired by the new Barbie movie.

I used Starburst pink Jello mix, but after I made it the first time I decided to make it brighter by adding pink food coloring.

Combine half of the first six ingredients in a large, tall mug. 

Mix well with a fork.

Cook in the microwave for 1 minute. Let cool. 

Repeat with another mug and remaining ingredients.

Top one of the cooled cakes in the first mug with whipped cream

Then remove the second small cake from other mug and add on top of the whipped cream in the first mug.

Top with a swirl of whipped cream again and then add sprinkles.

You can also add any other decorations on top (I used pink barbie shoes).

Serve immediately and enjoy.

Perfect for a girls movie night. Barbie would approve!

Barbie Pink High Heel Cupcakes

Ingredients

• Baked Cupcakes
• Pink Frosting
• Raspberry Milano Cookies
• Colorful Wafer Roll Cookies
• Pink Gel Icing

Instructions

• Start with soft, fresh cupcakes. The softer and fluffier, the easier it is the insert and hold up the cookies.
• Add decorative pink frosting to the tops of all the cupcakes. The thicker, the better.
• Decorate the Milano cookies with the pink gel icing.
• Insert the bottom of the cookie into the side of the cupcake so it is standing up and is now the sole of the cupcake heels.
• Break the wafer rolls in half then add a dollop of frosting to each end.
• Press it at an angle to the underside of the Milano so it is now the heel.
• Repeat with remaining cookies and cupcakes.
• Let set and harden then serve at your Barbie movie night!

Start with soft, fresh cupcakes. The softer and fluffier, the easier it is the insert and hold up the cookies.

Add decorative pink frosting to the tops of all the cupcakes. The thicker, the better.

Decorate the Milano cookies with the pink gel icing. 

Insert the bottom of the cookie into the side of the cupcake so it is standing up and is now the sole of the cupcake heels.

This is why you need thick soft frosting.

Break the wafer rolls in half.

Then add a dollop of frosting to each end.

Press it at an angle to the underside of the Milano so it is now the heel.

Repeat with remaining cookies and cupcakes.

Let set and harden then serve at your Barbie movie night! 

Come on Barbie, let’s go party!

The post 70+ Pretty in Pink Valentine’s Day Treats appeared first on For the Love of Food.

This pretty in pink dessert charcuterie board is perfect for kids with a sweet tooth celebrating Valentine’s Day or even girlfriends who enjoy colorful treats to honor Galentine’s Day! Assembled in minutes and devoured just as fast, this dessert is the ultimate Valentine’s pink treat!

I’m so excited to participate in this Valentine’s event (again). This is the fifth year for our event and we want to continue to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.

Cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. The National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%. It’s such a small number and that’s why I got involved.

And with the ongoing pandemic, children are still being diagnosed with cancer. It’s imperative that we raise awareness and continue to raise funds to fund the ongoing pediatric cancer research!

Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer!

Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Because these three companies: OXO, Mediavine amd Dixie Crystals have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000! That means when we raise $1, it turns into $4!

Thank you to so many of you who have already donated, please help us reach our goal so we can get the full matching donations and help us make an even huge difference!

Donate here today.

My girlf were excited for their pink tray of treats! Can’t you tell?!

Even our pup Elvis was impressed!

Valentine's Pink Dessert Charcuterie Board

Ingredients

• pink wafer cookies
• pink marshmallows
• pink sandwich cookies
• pink popcorn
• pink gummy hearts
• pink rock candy
• pink Moonpies
• pink Snowballs
• pink cotton candy
• pink Reese's hearts
• pink candy corn
• pink dipped strawberries
• pink shortbread letter cookies
• pink flowers for garnish

Instructions

• Assemble candy and treats on a large heart shaped platter.
• Add large pieces first and fill in the empty spaces with small candy.
• Add pink flowers around the platter for decoration.
• Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to customize this with any of your favorite pink candies and treats. You can even add fruit!

Valentine’s Pink Dessert Charcuterie Board for the win! 

You can choose any pink candy and treats your heart desires! I collected pink treats I found for about a month. Some are easy to find in the grocery store checkout lane like Snowballs, rock candy, wafers, and cotton candy. Others like pink candy corn, Valentines popcorn, and pink stuffed marshmallows I found at more specialty stores like Tj Maxx, Hobby Lobby, and Marshalls. 

Start with a platter. I want with a big red heart and placed it on a pretty gold charger. 

Remember that for this board you will not use all this candy. So individual bags work best so you do not have lots of leftovers. I also like to buy wrapped pink treats like Moonpies, Reeses hearts, and cookies so I can use a few and save the rest for another event or holiday. 

Since this was a Valentines treat board I did not add any fruit except these adorable pink dipped strawberries.

I used pink candy melts and dipped a few for the center of the board. If you wanted to add other fruit you could try raspberries, cherries, and pomegranate seeds. 

I also found these cute pink shortbread cookie letters at Walmart.

The box has 40 individual bags but let me warn you- I went through five bags just to find a vowel or I could spell out a word on my board.

I wanted LOVE but had to settle for PINK and YUM. Haha!

Now all you have to do is arrange it!

There is no right or wrong way but I start with my big items, like the wafers, strawberries, and cookies and then fill in empty spots with the smaller items like candy corn and popcorn. 

I also thought it looked nice to add some pink carnation flowers around the border of the platter. 

Enjoy this pretty in pink treat with your kids, girlfriends, or Valentine this month!

As You Wish Glazed Cherry Hand Pies

Makes 12 pies

Ingredients

• 1 box 14 oz refrigerated pie crust {2 rolls}
• 1 cup cherry pie filling {recipe here} or substitute 1 can cherry pie filling
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 tbsp water
• colored sugar for decorating

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Remove pie crusts from the box and allow to come to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Unroll pie crust and roll out on a floured surface.
• Use a 3 inch heart shaped cookie cutter to cut the dough into heart shapes. I got about 8-9 then re-rolled the scraps to get a few more. Repeat with the remaining pie crust {there are two per box}.
• Add 1 heaping tbsp of cherry pie filling into center of each pie crust heart.
• Place the remaining hearts on top of the filled hearts.
• Seal the edges by pressing around the outside of the hearts with a fork to seal.
• Poke each pie a couple times in the center with a fork to let air escape when baking.
• In a small bowl mix together egg and water.
• Using a basting brush, brush egg wash over the tops of each hand pie.
• Bake on a lined baking sheet for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• While pies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl until smooth to make the glaze.
• When you remove the pies from the oven, gently dunk them with a fork into the bowl of glaze, coating both sides.
• Carefully remove to a parchment lined plate or baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with colored sugar and let cool and set.

It’s not quite cherry season so I used 2 bags of frozen cherries to make my cherry pie filling.
You can also use a can of cherry pie filling if you’d like.

View my recipe here.

How amazing does this look?! Try not to eat it with a spoon!
My recipe makes extra so I bake up a Cherry Cobbler too.

Remove pie crusts from the box and allow to come to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Unroll pie crust and roll out on a floured surface.

Use a 3 inch heart shaped cookie cutter to cut the dough into heart shapes.
 I got about 8-9 then re-rolled the scraps to get a few more.

Repeat with the remaining pie crust {there are two per box}.

Add 1 heaping tbsp of cherry pie filling into center of each pie crust heart.

Place the remaining hearts on top of the filled hearts.

Seal the edges by pressing around the outside of the hearts with a fork to seal. 

I just love these adorable pies.
They are Made With Love, of course!

Poke each pie a couple times in the center with a fork to let air escape when baking.

In a small bowl mix together egg and water.
Using a basting brush, brush egg wash over the tops of each hand pie.

Bake on a lined baking sheet for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

While pies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and
milk in a medium bowl until smooth to make the glaze.

The pies are ready when they are golden brown.

 

When you remove the pies from the oven, gently dunk them with a fork into the bowl of glaze.

 

Coat both sides.

Carefully remove to a parchment lined plate or baking sheet.

Sprinkle with colored sugar and let cool and set.

My little taste tester had to try one right away!

• Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a apple corer or a piping bag tip to cut a circle in the middle of each cupcake and remove and discard the center.
• Use your piping bag and pipe marshmallow into the center.
• You can continue to swirl and pipe frosting on top or I prefer to use a small ice cream scoop and add a scoop of marshmallow frosting on top, so it looks more like a traditional snowball.
• Now carefully dip each cupcake, frosting side down in the bowl of pink coconut, so the top is coated in coconut.
• Repeat with remaining cupcakes.

Notes

Note on the filling: I tried to recreate a cream filling like the traditional snack cake and to me nothing tasted as good as the gooey marshmallow topping. So I decided to both fill and top my cupcakes with marshmallow frosting. However, you can fill your cupcakes with a cream filling, pudding, or a buttercream icing if you'd like.
