Hey guys, sorry I have not had time to post for a while. Now I am going to post more (hopefully). I just had a surprise birthday party for my friend, so I thought I would give you some pointers on throwing a party. I had a small budget and somehow made it work. I kept the decorating simple. I handmade some posters, and bought some streamers from amazon. That gave it a cool touch that was not too dramatic. The food took most of the money in my budget. I made the cake and cupcakes (I bought a small cake pan so I could make the birthday girl her own little cake). The recipe is as follows:

Wacky Cake

1 1/2 c all-purpose flour (or gluten free flour with an added tsp of xanthan gum)
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c natural cocoa powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tb vegetable oil
1 Tb distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 c water
confectioner’s sugar (optional)
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 8-inch square (or round) baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together, add remaining ingredients. Pour into pan.

Immediately put pan in oven.Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Cool in pan.

We also had fondue, twizzlers and popcorn. That's it! Enjoy!
;) :p

love you all
