My Sister's Bday Party

Last night my sister had a awesome birthday party! I would like to tell you all about it, but that will take several Posts... So bare with me, and enjoy!

Firstly: The Technical Stuff

We went to The Boardwalk, where the 20 of us splitted into groups of 3 and 4 to go and complete our tasks. This is a Photographic Scavenger Hunt. You have to take the most original and funny pictures of yourself doing the assigned tasks.

The Tasks Were:
  • (Write a word that makes up a sentence on a member of each group's hand ) Go to the Tourism office and get the person there to write the word in a different language
  • Choose an item from any shop and take a photo with it
  •  Take a photo of you kissing a poster at the movies
  • Take a photo of yourself in the ball-pen at the kiddies area
  • Photo feeding the fish in the pond
  • Photo posing with mime man
  • Photo winning tickets at arcade games
  • Photo of you riding on a kids ride
  • Photo being frisked in front of casino
  • Photo tossing money into wishing well
  • Take a cheesy photo in the bathroom 
When everyone's finished we regrouped at a restaurant and had mocktails (not yet eighteen)!

Next: The Fashion :))))))))))

Red Velvet Cupcakes

I have a cupcake fetish. It is my guilty pleasure. You know what is also my guilty pleasure? Croissants. Oh My French Cooking! Hallelujah I have a French Aunt who can aptly deliver recipes to me. But now, lets concentrate on the scarlet of these Babies...


Red velvet cupcakes with cream             cheese frosting

RECIPE BY KATELYN WILLIAMS
(makes 24)

Ingredients:

120g butter, softened
300g castor sugar
2 eggs
15g cocoa powder
40ml red food colouring
1t vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
300g cake flour
1t salt
1t bicarbonate of soda
3t white wine vinegar
Icing Ingredients:
600g icing sugar
100g butter, softened
250g cream cheese

Method
Preheat oven to 170°C. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat on high while adding the eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder, colouring and vanilla to make a thick paste. Add to the butter mixture and mix very well. Beat slowly while adding half the buttermilk and half the flour. Mix well before adding the remaining buttermilk and flour. Beat on high until smooth. Add salt, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar and mix well. Spoon into muffin pans lined with cupcake cases until 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 minutes until springy to the touch. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
For the icing, cream the butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Place in a piping bag and pipe onto the cooled cupcakes.

What's that Beautiful Music in my Ears?

What's is that sound, Do you hear it? The Sweet Melody of... NEW CLOTHES.

I should not have to explain this joy to any woman.

This week, me and <3 My Mother <3 went on a blitz shopping spree. First of all, yes, I still shop with my mother. I don't like it, but it happens.
Secondly, a blitz shopping spree is when you go to one big, *cheap* store and take an hour to find, try on and buy as much clothing as possible

I tried to find the most possible matches for my purchases. BTW the store is very average, unclassy,
South-African Mr Price. I know it sounds horrible, but they always have the trends. If you want to be original, don't go here. If you want cool clothes that you'll only wear one season (and that's fine, cause it's really cheap), then go there :))))

Anyway, enough chit chat - enjoy!



This one I got in Baby Blue

This one above was in a Coral Green

Mine is slightly less - Yellow - more brown

My Stripes are neon pink and grey, without the belt

I rolled my shorts up another two times


                                                        So My Honeys, what do you think?

And That's Just Who I am

I don't know about all of you, but I love tumblr. I don't have a page myself, but I'm always on it. It's amazing how it makes you realize how other people are going through the same things as you, people you can really relate to. Anyway, I made a compilation of things that just tell you more about the things I don't always say, but feel.
