Parties can be a lot of stress, especially for the mom who is taking over as party planner. This month's MacKid Mom Hacks video is designed to put the fun back in the party so you can enjoy the time with friends and family too!

In this video, I will show you some simple, step-by-step instructions on how to make party snacks quickly and easily. And the best thing of all? Most can be done before the guests arrive, so you can focus on the fun!

Our party snack hacks include how to:

  • Store and serve cupcakes
  • Pre-prep ice cream cones (with a bonus tip on limiting dribbles from the bottom of the cone!)
  • Turn watermelon slices into watermelon-sicles
  • Serve ice cream as mess-free ice cream pops
  • Cut a cake into expertly sliced pieces
