Happy birthday to me!

 

      So, If you cannot tell I am completely and utterly obsessed the show called Arrow

staring Stephen Amell and Emily Bett. 

      Since season 5 of Arrow premieres Wednesday, October 5, 2016 8|7c.

      I thought it quite appropriate to celebrate that and my birthday. Thus inspiring me to make the cake for my party Arrow themed.

How I made it:

 

The arrows: 

• For the 'shaft' of the arrow I took 3 wooden skewers and painted them with liquid green food color.
• For the 'Fletching's' I used a ruler to draw out the shape I wanted on cardstock. Cut it out and traced 3 more (1 extra just in case). Then I took Dark green duck tape, covering the cardstock and taping them on the back to the 'shafts'.

The cake:

• The bottom half of the cake is a single layer off 9"x13" yellow cake.
• The top circle half is a single layer of 8" round chocolate cake.
• It's frosted with white vanilla butter cream and piped with Green vanilla butter cream.

If you have any questions please ask, I'd be happy to answer.

MUG CAKE!

Hey everyone so if your anything like me you love chocolate, and sometimes crave it, so here is

one of my best solutions to keep the cravings at bay.

 

 

  

Chocolate Mug Cake

 

Dry Ingredients:

All- purpose flour -  ¼ Cup

Baking Powder - ¼ Tsp

Cocoa powder (unsweetened) - 2 Tbsp

Granulated sugar - 2 Tbsp

Salt - 1/8 Tsp

 

Wet ingredients:

Hazelnut chocolate spread - 1 ½ -2 Tbsp

Vegetable oil - 2 Tbsp

Milk - ¼ cup

 

Microwave time:               Servings:

2 minutes                             1 person

 

Instructions:

            In 1 standard size mug mix together all of the wet and dry ingredients. Be sure to mix well or your cake will cook funny and have dry powdery spots. Once mixed well place into microwave for approximately 2 minutes. You may need to change the amount of time it’s in the microwave, depending on the microwave. Some tend to heat hotter than others.

Note:

To save time later make up snack size baggies and fill them with the dry ingredients. Store in a dry container with a card in it telling you what wet ingredients you need and cook time.
