Birthdays!

Mine (18! woot woot!), my auntie's, and my papa's birthday were about a week ago, my Dad's birthday was a few days ago, and my cousin's birthday is tomorrow! And there are a lot more birthdays to come, so I am super excited to make birthday cakes and cupcakes and brownies! For my dad's birthday I decided to make a chocolate cake with whip cream and strawberry for filling and chocolate frosting on top with more strawberries. I used the cake recipe from The Little Red House and its so amazing!!! I just switched out raspberries for strawberries!



Hers looks a lot prettier but I did try :)

 And then, today after school there was still extra frosting and a layer of cake that had broke so I made baby cakes :D

I plan on using this cake batter recipe many times over because it is just so dang good! I am planning on making some more baked goodies for Wednesday because we have a food faire at our school where all the clubs sell food (like a massive fundraiser), but I still have to decide what to make... luckily there is this amazing website called Pinterest ;) 
(I think I am addicted)

on a relaxing day

Feeling super lazy this morning, so I made today into a movie marathon day!
I only watched 2 movies! Which doesn't really deserve the title 'marathon day' but it is as close as I get when I have school.
Here's what I watched:

CLOUD ATLAS

This movie gets better every time I watch it! I really want to read the book soon!













BRAVE
My favorite Disney movie :)
It's so good! ahhhh!

and then realized I have homework...:P

the camera on my phone!!

I got a new phone for my birthday and it is amazing. The camera is so clear and I love it!!!!
I can actually see the fuzz on my blanket!! :D  --->
I've just been going around my room trying to find everything and anything that is worth taking a picture of. (oh, and don't worry, totoro hasn't lost his ear, it was just hiding :) )

ello there!

I wasn't sure how to start this off, but I guess the best way is to just say: "Hi". I'm Alyssa and this is my blog.  so yeah...Hope you enjoy! :)
