Let guests have a treat for now and a treat for later with a simple bow-wrapped lollipop topper. They're also the perfect party favors for guests to bite into and then take home.

Add the perfect touch of glamour to the holidays (or dress up your New Year’s dessert) with a shimmery cupcake. Just sprinkle vanilla frosting with edible gold glitter dust and top with a flake of edible gold leaf.

This Frosty the Snowman will only melt in your mouth! These treats are made with two pretzel sticks for arms and a single marshmallow detailed with food-coloring markers atop a mound of vanilla icing. Dust each snowman with powdered sugar before serving.
