Best Cake Tip

{Just Because...cake 'es goood'}

You know when you've had a tough week and you just want a whole

bite of chocolate cake.

(and I only say "bite" because I'm on a stupid freakin, dumb, annoying, totally makes me feel great though, diet) 

Well... last week was one of "those" weeks.

Not bad... just busy and crazy.

I needed to do something with my kids, because I'd been totally ignoring them working a LOT that week.

I mean... poeple GOTTA get their pantry jar labels... am I right :)

Well... let's just say that when it comes to the

 "totally awesome, summer fun activity, Mom" ....part of my life.

.

.

.

I completely lack motivation fall short.

Not that I can't google think of fun ideas but most of the time they take way too much energy, time, and well... I just wanted chocolate cake, okay!?

Stop Judging me

Well... that's what we did.

We made our cake and ATE IT TOO!

(proudly I DID just have 3 huge bites one bite)

So just 2 quick tips when it comes to chocolate cake, in the Smith House...

1.  Like my Sister in Law Karlie taught me.

NO box cake mix should EVER go WITHOUT a little pudding :)

Yes!!! Just a box of Instant pudding!

Chocolate pudding for chocolate cakes and vanilla pudding for ANY other kind.

All that changes in the instructions... is you ADD a SMALL pouch of pudding powder mix into the cake, when making it, and an additional tablespoon or two of water.

That's it!  And you know what?

Once you do this... YOU WILL NEVER GO BACK to regular ol' cake again.

It makes a WOOOORLD of difference.  Cross my heart!

2.  ALL cakes, MUST have candles :)

'nuff said.

Ya.  I was pretty freakin' cool this day :)

isn't it sad how fast it wears off?  because TODAY I'm

"boooooring and not ANY fun!"

lol.

*siiiigh*

Moral of the story:

EAT CAKE with pudding

.

In the words of

"It 'es de' beeeeest"

In other news... we're still working on our "smiles"

We're starting to transition into the kinda.... scary/mean look....???

We'll keep trying...lol
