RELAUNCH ----
I am so pleased to start blogging again!!! I have a lot of new ideas and hopefully will be posting lots and lots of deals!!! I will be trying to post some of the crafts/ cooking that I have been doing!
So here is an awesome Money Saving idea
MAKE YOUR CAKES!!
Every Year I try to do themed birthdays for my son and for the last few years I have had trouble finding a cake to match the theme. Last year we got him SeaWorld passes and I could not find a SeaWorld cake any place... so with all my cheap and free Cake mixes and some food coloring and a quick trip to the store to buy some whale toys, I made a Seaworld cake. I also realized that for 5 years I have been shelling out $30 a year on Birthday cake! I must have been Crazy I made last years for only about $10
this years Party was Camouflage theme. Sam got a Bow and Arrows lots of hunting gear and the like
for the Camo Cake
1 chocolate cake mix
1 golden cake mix
eggs, oil and water needed to make cake
favorite white or creme colored icing (enough for two layer cakes)
red, yellow, green food color
Grease nonstick cake pans with crisco and flour or Bakers Joy spray
Make both cake mixes according to package directions
Divide Yellow Cake Mix in half
add green color to half of yellow cake mix (I think I used between 10-20 drops) if you add a quarter as much red and 2 or 3 yellow, you get a forest green like 5r/20g/2y but just green is fine
take three spoons and put "blobs" of all three colored cake mixes randomly in the pan(s) until you are out of cake mix
bake according to package directions
while you are baking
divide the icing into three parts
color the icings I did mine forest green, lighter green and a buttery orange
I put the three colors into zip lock bags and clipped the corners
I cut my icing into quarters because I made a big white target on top of my cake
after the cakes cool
either compleatly ice the cakes green or take your bags and make random shapes with all three colors. (in a camo pattern)
I had fun doing this cake and am going to try a Holiday cake inthe same manner
