Fireworks Cake

The kids and I whipped up this fireworks cake for dessert the other night.
I used white cake mix and vanilla white icing.
We used red, green, blue,  and yellow food coloring for the fireworks.
Once I poured the cake batter, I just dropped a dot of each color food coloring and let the kids go crazy with a toothpick. *My instructions to them were: take your toothpick (we used long ones) and start in the middle of the food coloring dot. Then with a light touch, "stretch" the color out.
Then once I iced the cake, the kids did the same thing to the icing.
It was so simple and came out "so cool" according to the kiddos.
Thinking about making some blue and red firework cupcakes for the 4th of July.

Caramel Apple "Egg Roll"

To make 8 Egg rolls you will need
3 medium size green apples (I used Granny Smith) peeled and diced
8 egg roll wrappers
1 1/2 teaspoon of butter (soften)
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
Caramel sauce
Cooking spray


Preheat the oven to 400.
Once the apples are peeled and diced lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Coat the diced apples with butter.
Then coat the diced apples with the sugar then the cinnamon.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until apples are tender.

*Leave oven on after you take apples out.*

Lay out egg roll wrapper. Drizzle caramel sauce and spoon about a tablespoon of apples and roll wrapper up like a burrito.
Lay out a new piece of parchment paper and generously spray with cooking spray.
Lay each egg roll on the parchment paper.
Once all the egg rolls are rolled and on the baking sheet. Spray a generous amount of cooking spray onto all egg rolls.
Bake for @ 7 minutes each side. Or until golden brown.

Serve right out of oven with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
