Happy Thanksgiving

The Two Savvy Sisters are wishing everyone a happy and fulfilling Thanksgiving!! We hope everyone has a fabulous Holiday weekend and I wanted to share some of our Thanksgiving treats!!

Yummy cupcakes we made for my son's preschool Thanksgiving show, we had to add our fall cupcake toppers of course!!

I saw this fabulous idea over at Fresh Chick Design Studio. I decided I would make some fun fall gifts for my son's teachers, a small gift to let them know we are so very thankful for them!!

We also made chocolate covered Oreo pops to place inside of the gifts. It was a very fun and MESSY craft!!

I also made a fun Give Thanks banner for my son's preschool show and for my older son's kindergarten feast!! I love the Holidays and the joy of doing fun crafts and baking with my boys!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving Feature~Whoot of Thanks Play-date

I am so excited to share this amazing Whoot of Thanks Play-date with you today! I just fell in love with this Whoot of Thanks Play-date hosted by The Savvy Mom's Guide...SO FABULOUS!! I have been waiting and waiting and waiting to post this fabulous play-date but had to wait for my week dedicated to all things Thanksgiving...I am so excited to finally get to share it with all of you!!

For the "Whoot of Thanks" Play Date theme, their inspirations came from a collaboration of fall, Thanksgiving, and Owls. They wanted to feature natural elements such as woods, moss and leaves to compliment this inspiration.

How adorable are these fabulous cupcakes, cake balls and owl cookie pops that coordinated with the colors and theme perfectly...so fun!!

It looks like the kiddos and mommies had a fabulous time!!

Cupcake Recipe Of The Week~Mini Thanksgiving Cupcakes

Since this week is dedicated to all things Thanksgiving I am sharing these mini Thanksgiving Cupcakes!! I am going to make these for my son's preschool Thanksgiving show...so excited!!

Mini Thanksgiving Cupcakes

1 cup whole milk, room temperature

6 large egg whites, room temperature

2 teaspoons almond extract

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 and 1/4 cups cake flour

1 and 3/4 cups sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

12 tablespoons (1 and 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces and softened

Whisk the milk, egg whites, and extracts together in a small bowl.In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.

 Using an electric mixer on medium-low speed, beat the butter, one piece at a time, into the flour mixture, about 30 seconds. Continue to beat the mixture until it resembles moist crumbs, 1 to 3 minutes.

Beat in all but 1/2 cup of the milk mixture, then increase the mixer speed to medium and beat the batter until smooth, light, and fluffy, 1 to 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly beat in the remaining 1/2 cup of the milk mixture until the batter looks slightly curdled, about 15 seconds.

Preheat oven to 350 and mix all ingredients, bake for 20 to 25 minutes and let cool.

Divide the frosting into three bowls and tint each with desired food coloring tint.

Using your pastry bag and desired tip, pipe the frosting in a cone-shape on the cupcakes!!

Buttercream Frosting

1 cup butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt
