So, you’ve got a lovely batch of Snickers Starburst truffles but need to up your game from the ordinary box or basket. Thankfully we’re here to arm you with a crafty way to sweeten up old textbooks!

We take the old hidden box in a book trick to new heights with individual candy compartments. Materials: - a book (we recommend old textbooks) - X-acto knife - straight edge - Sharpie - chocolates (snickers + starburst anyone?) - mini cupcake liners or parchment paper First, you’re going to create a template that fits your chocolates. Use this to mark where to cut on the first page of your book.

Using a straight edge to make precise cuts over a mat cutting board. For our book, we were able to cut three pages at a time.

One way to make pages stay together would be to glue each individual page to the next, but that would be crazy. We used six strips in total.

Cross-stitch cookies. I’ve been dreaming of making a giant cross-stitch project for years now, and when I saw Jessica Decker’s oversized cross-stitched artworks, I became even more excited. It’s an immediately recognizable pattern, but seeing those little Xs blown-up in big, bold color is just so unexpected and beautiful. Jessica has brought yet another spin to traditional needle craft with this DIY tutorial for cross-stitch cookies. The idea was formed while working on a wedding reception spread with friend and fellow art director Megan of Take a Megabite.

It’s easy to adapt this project with a wide variety of patterns, and it could be scaled up or down for a show-stopping addition to any kind of party.

A friend that started as my worst enemy 12 years back, a friend that dreams of losing shoes and a friend that understands the great significance of screaming "EARTHQUAKE! " As soon as she told me she was having a going-away party, I thought of the perfect dessert to tote along. The six individually baked layers match her insanity (in a good way!!!) That wasn't very eloquent, was it?

But the most important aspect of this cake, the thing that makes it so her is the fact that it's frosted in white buttercream. And then it all makes sense. PEACE OUT, G!

Death By Oreo Cupcakes. They are probably the best Oreo cakes I have ever tried. A lot of cake's that I have experimented with before are like a vanilla cake with bits of Oreo in them, which didn't really give them enough Oreo flavor. But these were a lot better. I used a dark chocolate fudge cake mix instead of just a regular chocolate cake mix, which went really well with the cookies and gave the cakes just a little more flavor.

So, in this recipe there is Oreo's in the cake, in the frosting, and at the bottom is a Oreo surprise. That's right, you put a whole Oreo at the bottom of the cake. Ingredients 1 package Oreo Cookies, regular size 1 package Mini Oreo Cookies, for decoration (optional) 1 package chocolate cake mix (mix according to directions on box) 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract cupcake liners Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
