Candy Corn Cake - Part 1

It's cake time!!!!!  This is a Candy Corn inspired cake for Halloween.

I made this cake using a Betty Crocker cake mix.

I followed the directions on the box and separated the batter into three bowls.  I added food coloring to create yellow and orange batter. 

Then I poured the orange batter into the pan and baked…..

And then the yellow……

And then the white…..

I then wrapped each cake in plastic wrap and refrigerated them overnight.  Part 2 of this post will be decorating!  To be continued……………...

Chocolate Chip Muffins - Halloween edition!

It's time to bake!  What am I baking today?  Muffins for Halloween.  I'm using a mini (pumpkin shapes!) muffin tin to make bite sized muffins with a Halloween theme.

:-)

First, I have my muffin mix and my muffin tin.

Next, I add the milk and mix as directed on the package.

Now, I fill up the empty tin and bake!

And in no time, I have cute little bite sized muffins in pumpkin shapes for Halloween!

Halloween Makeup - The Dark Side!

So this year for Halloween, I'm planning on doing makeup "from the dark side."  Dark eyeshadow and dark lip is the look I'm going for.  Black eyeshadow…..hoping I can pull that off.  YouTube makeup tutorials!  Dark lips…..hmmmmmmm…..Do you know just how hard it is to find black lipstick in a drugstore brand?  OMG!  I've been to every drugstore in my city and they don't have anything!  The only thing I could find that was a black lip product was a lip primer thing by NYX cosmetics at Ulta.  And get this - it was the only one in the whole store!  What is up with this?!?!?  I've found many black lipsticks from online makeup companies, but if I'm only going to use black lipstick once a year, on Halloween, I refuse to pay for shipping on top of the lipstick itself!  Good grief!  Anyway, this Halloween "dark side" makeup will be interesting this year!

Candy Corn?

What to do with candy corn?  I recently became the proud owner of a huge bag of candy corn and have no idea what to do with it.  If I eat the whole bag, Ill end up sick!  :-(  I was thinking of baking a cake and sticking all the candy corn on the outside of the cake.  Other than that, I have no clue.  Any ideas?  Comment below….

Room is almost complete!

So at the beginning of this month, I vowed to clean out my entire bedroom.  Well, I am just about finished with that daunting task!  All I have left to do is organize all my school supplies (Binder, folders, notebooks, pens, pencils, etc) and put away a few odds and ends.  And even though I'm an adult, I still relate to this image:

Random Blog Post

This is going to be a random blog post.  I don't have anything interesting to say and I don't have any latest and greatest products or reviews to post.  It has been way too hot to do anything fun.  I am still in the middle of cleaning out my room.  I went to Ulta and got a few makeup/hair products that I will be posting soon as well as the results of my room cleaning adventure.  My hair needs done; I have 1 inch super dark brown (almost black) roots against the rest of my high lift blonde, so I have been trying out some hair braiding looks in the attempt to hide the ugly dark roots.  I have a whole bag of clothes and two pairs of shoes waiting to be listed on Tradesy for selling.  I just haven't gotten around to it yet.  Halloween is only a few weeks away and I can't buy any candy yet because in all this heat it will just melt.  :-(  I ordered textbooks yesterday for the upcoming semester.  Hmmmmm, I can't think of any other random things to write.  I guess that's about all for now.

Cleaning out the Closet!

I feel just like Cher Horowitz right now………..

So earlier this month, I blogged about how I was going to clean out my entire room.  Well, I've started and been making great progress and now I've reached the closet!  OMG!  Today I took everything out of the closet and went through all clothing, shoes, and bags!  Took all day long.  I've piled everything up that I don't want anymore and when I go through my dresser and add to it, I will be listing things on Tradesy to sell.  I'm really proud of myself on this one.  I pile everything up in my closet and then it ends up being a total disaster.  Sometimes I swear it's a black hole where shirts disappear!  Anyway, just needed to blog this one.
