Peter Pan Auditions

6:45 PM

I got invited back for the 2nd audition! Yahoo! Getting ready for the audition the night before, my mom gave me a light spray tan and rolled my hair in the sponge rollers. This is me this morning before she took the rollers out. (I was still a little tired!)

I practiced and practice the songs last night and this morning and after school. I felt prepared for the audition.

I had so much fun auditioning and I feel good about how I did. I didn't get the part that I wanted (Wendy), I got the part of being one of Tinkerbell's Fairies. I am going to be the best fairy anyone has ever seen! Then Next year hopefully I will get a main roll in the play.

Double Rainbow All The Way Cupcakes

12:52 PM

I entered the cupcake contest at my school carnival today and I won the Grand Prize!!!! WooHoo!!! Here are some pics of my cupcakes. I used my secret cake recipe and blue raspberry buttercream frosting. (I will post my frosting recipe below)

I love to bake! I learned how to make the best cake ever this summer on accident. I will post a video soon to my youtube channel revealing my secret to the world. Here is a link to my Channel PinkPearlsTV

Buttercream Frosting Recipe:

2 Sticks of butter at room temperature

1 t. Vanilla

4-5 C Powdered sugar (or until frosting is at consistency you want)

2 T. Milk

Beat butter and vanilla together until fluffy. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Mix until fluffy. Add milk 1 Tablespoon at a time until desired consistency. If you would like to add color or more flavor, add it in at anytime after mixing butter and vanilla together.

I use a plastic zip bag to dispense the icing onto my cupcakes. I re-enforce the corner and bottom of bag with clear packing tape for durability while squeezing the icing out. For a really nice fluffy look, just cut the corner about 1/4- 1/3 of an inch and slowly frost in a circle like an ice cream cone.

If you have icing bags and tips...that is even better!

Thanks for visiting! Leave me a comment or a response video so I can hear and see what you have done! I cant wait to see your creativity.

We Made Wizard Wands! You Can Too!

2:55 PM

We had so much fun making these wands. And we are still having fun with them so watch this video on how easy it is. I got creative and used things that we already had so they were totally affordable. (I love that my mom has a little closet of craft items that she buys when they go on sale so we can get randomly creative)

My sister Scotti and I love watching Wizards Of Waverly Place. So we wanted to make wands! Do you like Wizards? I want to know if you make a wand and how it turns out!

Secret to a life of endless fun & projects: Always clean up after yourself. Then our moms will be happy to let us do pretty much any project.

Pin it, share it, like it! Thanks friends!

Love, Tori

We had so much fun picking flowers and arranging them to give to our moms. These flowers were just in the vacant lot down the street growing like weeds... Now they are in a vase in our kitchen/dining room bringing joy to the world!
