My kid’s recently turned 2 and 4 and I am excited to share with you scenes from their birthday party and the yummiest part of the party; cake, cupcakes, and snowflake princess wands!
I decorate cakes one time each year for my kid’s birthday because I like to make their birthday cakes myself to add a personal mom touch. This was the first time I have used candy melts to draw designs, and I have to report it’s my new favorite way to decorate cakes. It’s so simple to use and adds adorable embellishment without adding a ton of bulk (and calories) like frosting. The matching cupcakes are super also simple to make and easy to serve!
The pretzel princess wands only take a minute or two to create and I think they look so pretty. Keep reading to find the directions and download a copy of our free printables so you can create your own Frozen party.

Blue Sugar Pearls

Directions:
1. Slowly melt the candy melts in the microwave or on the stove. Be careful not to burn them. I struggled with the blue melts for some reason. The white melts worked perfect, but I forgot to take a picture because it was a race against time trying to get everything put together.
Drizzle the candy melt back and forth down the pretzel.
At the top, use the white candy melt to form a snowflake, and then quickly add the blue round sprinkles for decoration.

July 10, 2015 at 10:39 pmI used mini melting squeeze bottles that are plastic. I found them in the store next to the melts. 🙂
