By the base he meant..

Basement.

Of all things I decided to clean the basement.

Not going so well since all I'm doing is finding stuff to take pictures with.

Found a headband and my old ring I got for free at a garage sale when i was like, 8.

Didn't find the glasses downstairs, but my mom came home with flowers so if I went up for flowers, might as well go up for the glasses.

What the blood clot.

UP YOURS, BULK BARN!

YEEEUP! Ara, Chia and I decided to do some baking and WHAT a mission it was.

Let's just say we DIDN'T do anything illegal and that everything turned out as planned :)

We decided to do the "Cake-Burger" as seen from Bakerella:

http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2009/06/fast-food-fun.html

Everything we used was "ready-made" and store bought, so you could imagine how amazingly easy it was.

What you need:

1 box of yellow cake mix + it's additives (ie., 3 eggs, 1/3 cup oil, etc.)

1 box of brownie mix + it's additives

1 can of white frosting or vanilla frosting

green and red food colouring

circle cookie cutter

cupcake cups
Bake the yellow cake mix into cupcakes as opposed to cakes. Use an ice cream scoop to get the batter into the cups. Chia actually made it look SO easy :SBake the cupcakes as directed. If the bottoms come out a little burnt. That is okay :) After you bake the cupcakes, start the brownie batter by following the directions on the box. Bake the brownies in a regular square or rectangular pan. As you bake the brownies, DO NOT touch the cupcakes. Wait for them to cool before unwrapping them.

LOL, this is how Chia bakes. she rolls the egg yolk in the mix. LOL. Yeeeah, that dusty blob is actually an egg yolk :/

As the brownies bake and the cupcakes continue to cool, you can start making the "ketchup" and "lettuce" of our burgers.

You can do this by adding green food colouring to plain white frosting...
...and by adding red food colouring to plain white frosting.
When each colour is mixed in, transfer the two different frostings into a ziploc bag.

After the cupcakes cool you have to cut off any of the burnt bottoms, as well as cut the cupcakes in half.

This is Ara's burnt cupcake bottom stack. YEEEAH...they were pretty burnt.

After the brownies finish baking and they finish cooling, cut them into circles using a cookie cutter.

Chia's such a proskillet:)

After everything is cut, it's time for assembly. Place the brownie in between the cupcake halves.

...If you haven't realized it yet, the brownie is the burger patty, and the cupcakes are the buns.

After, use the frosting filled ziploc bags as piping bags and pipe some lettuce and ketchup onto the patty.

Put it all together and you get something like this:
Sorry, Ara is not included with the cake-burger.

Oh, and neither is grandma :)

...We then ended with a photoshoot and some yummy pasta dinner. We're lame because it took us more than 10 pictures to get this...and because we fail at 2 second timers.

Oh, and btw..

SCHOOL'S
COMING
BACK.
just thought I'd let you know.

FINE! Leave me here!

Kay so, some of my favourite people are going away...and I COULD be going with them but chyenno, le report card was a little TOO shabby.

It's okay because my blog will be full of wonderful things like all the baking I'm gonna be doing:)
I'm actually very very very excited :)
