Glitzy Gold Star Plates and Wine Glasses

These beautiful star plates and wine glasses add the perfect touch to your next party. This versatile design is wonderful for many occasions. New Years Eve, birthdays, the fourth of July are examples of perfect times to let these plates and glasses sparkle!

Supplies

  • -Clear glass plates and wine glasses with no design. The simpler, the better!

  • -Spray paint, color of choice-I used gold. Glass paint can also be used for longer lasting more durable finish.

  • -Star stickers of varied size

  • -Box or drop cloth

  • -masking tape, razor blade, toothpicks, sponge or paint brush

  • -E-6000 glue

  • -rhinestones

Directions
1. Clean plates and glasses well, removing all stickers and residue.
2. On the back side of the plate, arrange star stickers.
3. Lay plates on drop cloth or place inside of cardboard box.
4. Spray the backside of plates evenly with spray paint. Two thin coats are always better than one thick one! If using glass paint, apply 2-3 coats letting dry in between.
5. Let plates dry thoroughly.
6. Remove stickers. I used a razor blade to help lift up edges.
7. If using glass paint, following manufacturer’s instructions for baking to cure the paint.
8. To create glasses, follow the same instructions for the plates. When spraying, mask off areas of glass you do not want color applied.
9. To add extra sparkle, add rhinestones to base of wine glass. Use a toothpick to apply glue, attach rhinestones, let dry 24 hours before using.
10. ALWAYS hand wash, do not submerge in water.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups of Member's Mark Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter (used throughout)

  • 3 cups of Member's Mark Buttermilk Pancake Mix

  • 2 cups of Member's Mark Vitamin D Whole Milk

  • 2 Member's Mark Pasture Raised Grade A Large Brown Eggs

  • 5 teaspoons of Magnolia-Star Pure Vanilla Extract (used throughout)

  • 2 cups of Driscoll's Sweetest Batch Blueberries

  • 1 cup of Member's Mark Organic 100% Pure Maple Syrup

  • Member's Mark Original Dairy Whipped Topping

  • 1 cup of Member's Mark Honey Almond Granola

 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Place ¼ cup (½ of a stick) of butter on a 13”x 8” sheet pan. Place it in the oven to melt the butter while making the batter.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, eggs, milk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Stir until combined. Note: Batter will still be lumpy, let it sit for 3-4 minutes before baking.

  4. Pour batter onto the sheet pan with the melted butter. Use a spatula to spread batter, creating an even surface. Sprinkle berries on top.

  5. Place the sheet pan into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on top and cooked through.

  6. Let cool slightly, then cut into 12 squares.

  7. While the pancakes are baking, create your syrup. Place 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring continuously. Continue cooking the butter once melted, until the butter begins to brown and smells fragrant. Remove from heat (butter will continue to brown)

  8. Stir 3 teaspoons of vanilla and the maple syrup into the butter, and stir until combined.

  9. To serve, place a pancake on a plate. Top with syrup and a sprinkle of granola on top.

 

Yield: 12 pancakes/2 cups of syrup
