So Sorry

Hey! If anyone still reads this blog, then I am so sorry that we (Erin and I) haven't posted for SO LONG! We are going to try do better this year. :)

white cake with pink frosting and candles....

Here are some pictures of a cake I made today (this is Erin)! To get the swirly thing on the top I used a ziplock bag with a hole in the bottom to squeeze the play dough out with! Here are some pics.

our play dough recipe....

3 cups of flour

1 1/2 cups of salt

3 cups water

1 tablespoon cream of tartar

2 tablespoons vegatable oil

Food coloring or unsweetened Kool-Aid (The Kool aid is supposed to make it smell good :) We used the food coloring.)

Mix ALL of the ingredients in a large saucepan.Cook over medium low heat, until the dough comes away from the edges of the pan and it becomes difficult to move the spoon. Remove from heat. Cool until it can be handled.Place on counter or wax paper knead 3-4 times.Store in an air tight container.

We made one full batch of the plain (without food coloring, we forgot to put it in at first, then decided against it) and 2/3 a batch of the red. Here is a picture:
