TMNT birthday cake!

Well, on the 5th, it was time for another birthday! my brother, who turned 6! he was really excited when he saw his cake, which was decorated like Raphael of the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Pretty close, don't you think? :)

To start, my mom made a chocolate cake the day before, we waited until around 6:30 in the morning on the 5th to decorate. it was really crumbly, but the crumb coat seemed to lock it up pretty good

 After that was all on, we made the rest of the frosting, and four different colors; Green (a lot of it) Yellow, Red, and White. We also got out some chocolate chips for outlining .

(yes I realize the picture is sideways, but I couldn't find a better one)

Well, the cake was great, and I think he had a happy 6th birthday, with a new Rescue Bots movie, and a Transforming Heatwave toy, and a TMNT go kart with Leo, and a huge thing of K'nex and a smaller thing with Legos. 

And now, two days later, we have already eaten it all (with some help from our dad, grandma, and grandpa of course) ;)

Fishy Trail Mix

A few days ago, we needed an easy afternoon snack, so, I suggested Trail Mix, and somehow ended up being the one to make it.
My ingredients were:
Whales (crackers)
Chocolate Chips
M&Ms 
Sunflower Seeds
Cheerios 
& Craisins

It's a great, simple snack, that anyone can make! Just throw in a handful or two of all the ingredients, and there you are! Fishy Trail Mix
