How to Make Chocolate Ice-cream Cups Using Balloons - Funny Mike. How to Make a Cake with Zebra Stripes on the Inside! & MyCakeSchool Blog. Hi everyone! Happy Friday! Okay, it is just about 15 minutes until Saturday here, but I’m still going to call this a Friday blog -:0) — Let’s celebrate by making a zebra cake! In my last video tutorial, I demonstrated how to decorate a cake with zebra stripes–a very fun look for your safari, fashion or just plain funky themed cakes!

Well, today I’ll show you how to continue the theme to the inside of the cake. By the way, I did not invent the zebra cake. I’m not sure who did–but if you google zebra cakes, you’ll see all kinds of recipes that point to basically the same outcome–very cool looking slices :0) –You’ll see that part in just a second. First, let’s talk batter– You’ll most often see chocolate and white zebra cakes (although it would be fun to try a hot pink and white zebra cake sometime!) We went the boxed cake route and bought a box of Duncan Hines Devil’s Food Cake, and a box of Duncan Hines French Vanilla. We made slight changes to the box directions: That’s it!

How to Create a Backyard Movie Screen. Watching a favorite movie outdoors is a fun and special warm–weather activity for kids and parents alike. And all it takes are some simple materials — plus a little creativity — to transform your backyard into an outdoor theatre. Setting Up Your Outdoor Screen What you need: 2 thick, white queen–size ironed flat sheets Top pole 1.5" diameter x 10' long Bottom pole 3" diameter x 10' long Rope — 2 different thicknesses Step 1. Start with two queen–size ironed flat sheets.

Once your screen is set up, create a casual, comfortable seating arrangement using plush cushions covered in fade–proof fabrics and soft, moisture–resistant pillows. A few simple drinks and snacks are all you need to complete your outdoor theatre. How to make Gak (Slime) We had a few days of rain around here so we made some slime to occupy our time inside. Just two ingredients and you will be able to really impress your kids! To make simply mix equal parts of liquid starch and glue together. We placed 1/4 cup liquid starch into a sandwich bag and added about 3 drops of green food coloring. Next add in 1/4 cup glue Mix well. It will start to form a solid blob. Take it out of the bag and have fun! Looking for more ways to impress your kids? Need a way to use up the rest of the starch? You will find other rainy day activities here.

Thanks Laci for asking us how to make Gak. Ice cream party. At the end of last summer, we hosted a back-to-school ice cream party for the kids (remember the ice cream scoop invitations?) I wanted to share all the fun we had with you all so that you can host your own ice cream party this summer! We had games and prizes and of course, lots and lots of ice cream! The most fun decorations we made for the party were giant ice cream cones made from balloons and paper. I had a very specific use for them (you’ll see later), but they are great all-around decorations for any ice cream-themed party.

First, you will need to cut out a cone shape from some light brown paper. Roll your cone shape up and secure with a piece of tape. Tape the knot of your balloon to the non-pointy end of a bamboo skewer. The pointy end should poke through the base of your cone by about an inch or so. As a final touch, spray the top of the balloon with spray adhesive and then sprinkle real rainbow sprinkles on top. Then, they needed a spoon full of hot fudge sauce.
