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! :)

Tummy Happiness #2: Berry Pancakes

I like pancakes..no....I LOVE pancakes!!! So this morning I asked myself, "Why not make some pancakes?" My life is pretty complicated guys ;) *wink wink*

1st you gotta get dem berries

Then you make your pancakes nice n fluffy and stack the berries nice n high (I put some brown sugar on top, just to add something else)

and to finish this bad boy off you put your second pancake on top. And if you're like me and cannot help yourself when it comes to the temptation of making baby pancakes, make a few and stack 'em up.

and then done!!! I ate a lot :3

 

Tummy Happiness #1: SPRINKLES with hot chocolate :)

That's right. HOT CHOCOLATE! My wonderful friend Judee made me this for christmas and I just got around to making it.

 I just really like the packaging :) (mix, chocolate chips, marshmallows)

 and i just added water to the jar

 PLUS SOME SPRINKLES

And it was SOOOO good!

So I got the recipe and it's really simple!

Ingredients:
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup dry (powdered) milk
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
as many marshmallows as you can handle

once you mix all these up it's done! and 1/3 cup of the hot chocolate mix makes 1 cup of this yummy delicious drink :)
