Dessert Trend: M&M Cakes

We've got a few different dessert trends emerging this year. I noticed the pooch at a party trend, followed by the pony at a party concept. After sharing this candy covered Valentine's cake with you, I came across this blue and yellow version at a real wedding on Style Me Pretty.

Other blueberry and lemon treats compliment the cake's motif, while an M&M-lined tray displays seating cards.

I wonder if M&Ms will become a frequently used decoration for cakes. You might remember this pink and red M&Ms cake that I featured around Valentine's Day. It seems like an easy enough element to add to a cake. Since the candies come in so many colors, I imagine you could find any combination you need for your party.

The Easiest Valentine's Craft Ever

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so use this weekend to get a little crafting done. I found this clever little favor on Night Baking, and it's the perfect treat for kids to exchange with their classmates. Even better, you can also leave these little presents on your favorite co-workers' desks. Don't worry, the portion size is kid and diet-friendly, too.

Simply use empty matchboxes to house about ten red and pink M&Ms. You can find the boxes in bulk  at dollar stores. Wrap each box in Valentine's paper and seal with double-sided tape. If you want to go a step further, tie a narrow ribbon around the box or add a printed label with Valentine's greetings.
