Make your own colored sugar

Don't spend money on colored sugar to decorate cakes and cookies! A drop or two of food coloring added to a quarter up of plain granulated sugar, then shaken vigorously, is exactly the same... and a lot cheaper. Experiment with beet juice or strong tea. If two drops won't do it, try three.

Cheap Easter Treat

Cut home made sugar, peanut butter or oatmeal cookies in the shape of eggs, bake and decorate with frosting, then wrap individually for Easter basket treats. You can make some huge ones or tiny ones just for fun.
