D.I.Y. this Spring with McCormick

Already many moms choose the D.I.Y. approach when it comes to fixing meals and desserts in the kitchen, decorating the home or doing home repairs. Well, watch for the do-it-yourself movement to take over McCormick with their virtual workshop, complete with delicious new “Decorate It Yourself” activities for the entire family. Together with decorating experts Karen Tack and Alan Richardson, authors of the new book, What’s New, Cupcake? (April 2010), McCormick has developed easy recipes, fun party ideas, colorful tips and technique videos that help make a deliciously colorful splash.

“Part of what spring is all about is celebrating the colors of the season and having fun with food and flavor,” says Tack. “Whether you are enjoying springtime holidays or even just a casual Saturday afternoon with the kids, all you need is a little imagination and a few simple ingredients, like my favorites from McCormick.”

The mccormick.com workshop: videos, tools and inspiration to decorate, cook and play.

• Decorate It Yourself: Coloring Easter eggs is just the beginning for spring decorating. The workshop includes tips for table embellishments, spring party ideas, decorating stencils and more. The workshop also includes the McCormick Color Creator, a tool that will help you mix and match drops of McCormick Food Color, to get the perfect hue every time. Also, learn how to make wildly creative Easter eggs through a series of egg decorating videos.

• Spring Into Cooking: The workshop includes a collection of spring recipes for delicious gatherings that will take you from breakfast through dessert. From Stuffed French Toast and Cheesy Bacon & Egg Brunch Casserole to a Hello, Flower! Cupcake and Festive Meringue Cookies – made brighter with Assorted Food Color – your spring menu has never been more flavorful or colorful.

• Play Time: Parents can also find activities and party ideas for kids, including tips on how to plan a fun Easter Egg Hunt, as well as guides for making homemade Water Colors and Funny Putty. For the adults, Tack and Richardson share decorating tips for the table, including stunning centerpieces and special “paint-on placemats.”
