You guys know what this Saturday is, right? It’s Cinco de Mayo! Who’s ready to celebrate? If it’s anything like last year, I know Cody will be.
Talk about a party animal.
This year, I’ll actually be out in Colorado for the holiday, so I won’t be doing any cooking or baking (I’m sure my roomie will be game for a little celebrating though) BUT, I’ve still got a few fun recipe ideas to share with you.
I recently put a few ideas to the test for a project with Celebrations.com, using none other than margarita drink mix in some desserts – who says you have to use it just for drinks, right?
Margarita Fruit Dip
So easy, it’s not even funny.
Margarita Sugar Cookies
Again, it doesn’t get much easier!
And, of course, we can’t forget about my favorite Margarita Cake that I’ve made the past two years.
That pretzel bottom crust is just the perfect combination of sweet and salty.
Are you planning on making anything fun and/or celebrating for the upcoming Cinco de Mayo holiday?
Linda says
LOVE the meme!
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
Margarita sugar cookies! WOWZERS! Those look AWESOME :)
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I’m running my first 5k on cinco de mayo and I’ll be celebrating with margaritas afterwards!
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
I am *so* jealous of those getting to drink margaritas- that being said, it is so worth it but golly will I enjoy a margarita to celebrate once the baby is born!
….Love the fruit dip recipe- something I can swing right now. Mmmmmm!

I completely forgot about it! Might need to at least mix up margaritas that day! That cake looks delicious, I just need more people to make it for now ;)
Hayley C @ Running Down the Runway says
I am running my first half marathon on Sunday so no celebrating here! That will have to happen post race :)
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I’ll be in Colorado too!!! But feel free to bring some of those cookies with you… ;)
Katy @ Couch to 5Katy says

Linz @ Itz Linz says
i’m actually working as a bartender at a private party… random! i haven’t bartended in years, but i figure i may as well make some moolah! :) :)
Lisa says
Haha your cat photo is just awesome. I can’t wait for cinco de mayo!!! I’m pretty sure I’ll be partying it up over here this weekend.
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I made your margarita cake when I had Mexican night at my house with some friends a couple of years ago. It was a hit! It’s really good :)
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie says
I can’t wait to try that fruit dip! And I love that pic of Cody :)
Jenna says
Yum! Can’t wait to try one of these if we do choose to go to a party somewhere, I’m sure everyone would be wow’ed. :-) You’ll be credited, of course! I love baking things and making them look “oh so cute”! I’ve always wanted to get into cake-cupcake decorating…people are soooo talented its insane! It’s expensive to get started, but maybe worth it. Hmm…maybe that’ll be on my 2012 list of to-dos. ;)
Jessie says
These look fab!
Not many things are better than a good Margarita! :)
Alyssa @ fit and fun in third says
I’m running a half marathon on Sunday so I won’t be partaking in much Cinco de mayo celebrations, but I think I’ll have to make up for it after my race with plenty of margaritas! Gotta refuel somehow, right??
Jolynn says
How fun!! The dip and cake sound delicious!!
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss says
