How to; Cake in a cup

I couldn't help it; while naming this I kept singing "Cake in box cup"LOL

I found myself home alone one day wanting to bake a cake, but the boys would be gone for a few so, why bake a cake that I likely won't eat but a little bit so satisfy my sweet tooth. 

You'll need:

1. Cake mix (I use anything on sale)

2. Water (just enough for a smooth consistency)

3. Microwave

4. Microwavable safe coffee cup

5. Frosting

6. Fork (for mixing)

First thing first; but the mix in the cup (1/2 the cup should fill the cup). Make sure to leave enough room for frosting.

Mix w/ a couple of Tablespoons of water until its nice and gooey

Feel free to mix it in the same cup you plan to eat out of. What does it matter? you can do whatever you please!

Microwave from anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 min. depending on your microwave (start at lowest cooking point, increasing if needed)

Let the cake cool down (my house smells of carrot cake heaven. YUM!)

Frost! 

ENJOY!



Carrot Cake in a Cup w/ cheese cake frosting



This is so easy and takes a total w/ cooking time of maybe 7 mins. 

I've made this many times for the boys and their friends. This summer more then usual. 

This would also fit nicely at a small dinner party. Oh what fun!!

There are many ways of re-creating this. Get bold and let me know what you've done. 

I'm thinking this week it'll be RED velvet cake in a cup. Yummy for the tummy!

DIY Chalkboard Clock

I was sitting at home on Saturday night under the air and fan and it was still so unbearably hot and the boys were already sleeping, but I can't ever seem to sit still... I must make something!!

you probably know that PB has had the chalkboard clocks on and off... it inspired me over a yr ago to get splash some paint on this one.


On one of my GW shopping sprees; I found this neat little 10' HobLob lock for under a $1.00. Something was wrong w/ it and it wouldn't run. Well, I got it home; added a new battery, tightened the hands and used it for bit as it is...

then it started begging to be different. I gave in to it

1. I lightly sanded the clock face

2. Painted the hands w/ WHITE spray enamel
3. Painted the clock face w/ chalkboard paint

while it dried, Tequi and I chilled;

I made myself a treat specially since I've been super good about food this week

Tequi just laid as I'm thinking "AGH! get off my couch!"

once dried I "distressed" it

re-attached the hands

and


VOILA!

yes, it really was 2:30 in the A.M. I sometimes suffer of "lack of sleep".

Easy Peasy! What do you think? will you do this?

I'm going #Wahl_Nuts

If you follow me you should know that I have a slight *cough* obsession w/ @DonnieWahlberg... It's been going on for 20 yrs and it gets crazier the older I get. Can you blame me tho? I mean the man is 42 yrs old and he is so incredibly seksi! *drooling*

Sorry this has nothing to do w/ DIYing or such, but I want to share my obsession...@DonnieWahlberg who's featured in @Jordan Knight (who looks pretty hawt himself) new vid #Stingy =D

ENJOY!

I've downloaded it to my fone, I love to blast it all the way w/ the windows rolled down, going 75mph w/ my shades *wind in my hair* Even girls at work have downloaded it... it's such a seksi song. I love how it reminds me of the days when I was 17 yrs and I couldn't part w/ my @DonnieWahlberg pillow =D

Thank you @DonnieWahlberg and @JordanKnight for making a bunch of 30 something women feel like silly teenagers! #ETERNALLOVE
