On St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to have another party at my house, but my mom said she didn't think that would be a good idea, since my ankle was still healing up. But she did say I could invite a couple of friends over, and we could use my Easy Bake Oven. All right! So after school, I got out the stuff we would need.
I invited Shante' and Raychel over. Shante' told me she's been wanted an Easy Bake Oven for a long time, and that I was so lucky to have one. Raychel agreed.
I let Shante's mix the cake batter. And since it was St. Patrick's Day, I thought it would be fun to add some green food coloring to the cake mix. Food coloring makes some food look really far out! I went to a party once and the girl had a blue cake!
Wow! Green cake batter! Danny and Jason would probably call it slime cake! Raychel poured the batter into one of the cake pans, and put it in the oven. Shante' and I watched it bake.
I found a box of white frosting mix I forgot I had, and mixed up some vanilla frosting. When the cake came out and cooled down for a few minutes, Raychel put the frosting on.
We cut the cake into 3 (sorta) even pieces. It tasted really good, but Easy Bake Oven cakes are awfully small, and we didn't get very much. I didn't have any more mixes, (gotta start saving my allowance again!) so we were still hungry.
We had been so busy making the cake, we didn't see that my mom had put some stuff on the kitchen table.
Outta site! There was a plate of Shamrock cookies, 3 leprechaun party hats and some cups. Far out! It was party time!
Gotta love my mom. She had this surprise planned all along! She knew I only had one cake mix left and that it really wouldn't be enough for 3 people! So we put on the party hats and helped ourselves to the shamrock cookies. Then Mom filled our cups with green stuff. What was this? I took a sip. It was 7-UP soda with green food coloring in it! Haha! I guess my mom and I think alike. Food coloring does make food (and drinks) look groovy!
I hope all of you had a Happy St. Patrick's Day! Even though I didn't have a big party, my friends and I had a dynamite day!
Until next time, future readers,
Your friend,
Julie Newman
How fun! One time two girls at school decided to dye their hair for St. Patrick's day with food coloring, and it didn't come out! They had green tinted hair for a while, it was kind of funny.
ReplyDeleteEwwww! Green hair? She must have looked like The Joker from Batman! Haha!
DeleteI had green hair once. It was not funny. I looked like Sigmund the Sea Monster. Someone even hung a picture of Sigmund on my desk. True Story.
DeleteYuck! Why did you have green hair? That wasn't nice for someone to call you Sigmund The Sea Monster! (even though I really like that show).
DeleteHey Julie,
ReplyDeleteDid your tongue turn green from eating shamrock cookies?
Fawn
Nope, but it did after drinking the green 7-UP!
DeleteJulie, you'll be happy to know we still have Easy Bake Ovens in the future! I got one for Christmas when I was 8, I think. But...I have no idea what happened to it! I think I might have made cookies in it once, but I don't remember if they were good or not. I'm glad to see that your cake turned out kinda well. That was nice of your mom to surprise you with cookies and GREEN 7-Up!

Groovy! Easy Bake Ovens are outta site! I wish they came with more mixes. Maybe the Easter Bunny will give me some!
DeleteI had easy bake oven when I was six and I think I made something in it once, and the little lightbulb broke. I don't know what has happened to the own.
ReplyDeleteI hope the light bulb didn't break while you were making something!
DeleteLooks like a great party! Everything looks yummy. Glad to see you up and about. Small parties can be even more fun than large ones sometimes.
DeleteYeah, my mom finally told me that my super New Year's Eve Party I had would be the last one I could invite all my friends to. I have so many friends, that my parties are just too big! So now, it's just a few friends at a time!
DeleteMolly's mom: I once had an easy bake oven. I think it's in storage. Have to get it back out soon!
ReplyDeleteIn the future, my daughter had an Easy Bake oven that a mouse moved into and lived in! Ew!
ReplyDeleteYUCK! I hope you threw it out!
