Allo all.. I know. "Where have you been for the past 18 weeks?!?!" I sowwie.. I guess I kinda gave up on drawing and other things because I either 1.) got too busy for myself or B.) am too lazy.. I like both those answers to use as an excuse. But now I am back and hopefully I'm staying! Yey.. *no applause*
Anyway, lots o' stuff has been going on around here but I am sure that I don't wanna bore you with every extremely boring detail of it so I am gonna give you the most recent. Yesterday and today I have been working on baking goodies for my school because we are having a Halloween dance.. It's to raise money for our prom so it is kinda half dance, half fund raiser.. More like Hell raiser! Haha jk! It's fun after I get myself organized.. Anyway I've been baking my butt off and here's what I've made..(Ooh.. It's such a beautiful day outside.... O.o):
First we(my mom and I) made Peanut Butter RAT cookies. You cream a soft stick of butter, a cup of peanut butter, a half cup or sugar, a half cup of brown sugar, an egg, a teaspoon of vanilla and a teaspoon of baking soda together before adding 2 cups of flour. Before we added the flour though we adding a couple drops of each color of food coloring to it making the batter darker.. More rat colored.. xD You roll them into balls and taper one side for the face then you stick M&M's on the front for a nose and eyes and peanuts cut in half behind the eyes for ears. We shaped the noses longer so they looked more rat-like. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 and while they are still warm stick a piece of licorice in for the tails. We used cut up pieces of black instead of instead of red. (Wow.. I just told ya a whole recipe.. I hadn't planned on doing that.. Lol!)
Then we made Black cat cupcakes by using a box of chocolate cake mix and just pouring it into cupcake liners. We decorated it by using food coloring in the chocolate icing to make it darker and used Starbursts cut in half for ears and Skittles for eyes and a nose and cut up twizzlers for whiskers.
Then I made Bloodshot Eye cupcakes with vanilla cupcake batter, put white icing on top, then a gummy lifesaver in the middle and stuck an M&M in the middle of those to make pupils. Then I took the Twizzlers and cut them up to make veins for the blood shot eyes.
We were supposed to be done for the day but we found another recipe. Severed Finger Cookies. You make just plain sugar cookies(3 cups flour, 1 and a half teaspoons baking powder, 2 sticks butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and a half teaspoon salt) and roll them into long tubes and take almond slices (We put some food coloring in the bag and shook it up to make them red) and stuck them on for fingernails(after dipping them in egg white to make them stick better. You can do that with the peanuts and M&M's on the rats too). Then we poked a knife to make three indents for knuckles and squirted them with green and red food coloring mixed with water to make half look like Witches fingers and the other half look like Human fingers! Cooked it for 10 min at 350 and made red and green icing to dip the ends in to make them slimy and bloody. It all turned out really well.
Anywhoo.. I made more Rats today but they didn't turn out as well as yesterdays.. The first batch I didn't change it from Preheat (Don't make the same mistake kids!) and the second batch turned out okay, but I just realized that I didn't add a few ingredients.. Oh well.. That was long and boring and I am tired.. I'll try to post something else today but there will be no promises made!.. Please comment and I hope you all have a wonderfully wicked Halloween!
