Fall is here which means two things- baking tons of yummy goodies and the flu.
To be honest, I’m more excited about the first one.
It’s a super simple box cake recipe that will be the perfect Halloween treat for that party you’re going to!
Start by making a yellow cake mix according to the package directions. Then divide the mix into two equal parts in separate bowls.
To one bowl add some red food color, and maybe a drop or two of yellow. Mix until you get a nice vibrant orange.
This time instead of putting in the orange first, you’ll want to start with the yellow. Then top it off with some orange. But in any case, as long as you don’t have sick kids laying around you should be fine to remember that.
What is it with kids and throwing up? It seems so effortless for them. When I get sick it’s this huge production, I need someone to hold my hair, I cry, I curl into the fetal position next to the toilet…
For my kids, it just comes flowing out of their little bodies like turning on a faucet. And then BAM they are fine, asking to play the Wii. And I am left cleaning up the mess. Well I have given up on cleaning nasty things.
In order to avoid gagging I have elected to throw those said nasty items away. It may not be the most frugal method, but it saves my sanity {and my lunch}.
Today I was tempted to just cut off the section of hair that my girl barfed in…but then I remembered the gum/mullet fiasco that took place a few years ago, and opted to just rinse it out.
Live and Learn.
These cup cakes are just fun and easy.
I whipped up a simple batch of The Best Frosting I’ve Ever Had to go on top.
Decorate with some fun Candy Corn colored sprinkles, or top with Candy Corn itself.
Make a batch for the work party, the cake walk, the neighborhood kids, the family, or just for yourself to eat while watching Sister Wives on Netflix….
The possiblities are endless…
But make sure you put them in the right order!
Oh, and get the Flu Shot too!
