Halloween cupcakes

As Halloween is tomorrow I decided to have a go at some Halloween cupcakes.

They are simple, quick, fun and easy to make !!

Chocolate cakes 

Ingredients

4oz butter                         1 ½teaspoon cocoa powder
4oz caster sugar                 2 teaspoon milk
4oz self raising flour            ½ teaspoon vanilla essence

2 eggs 

Method 

1) Heat the oven to 180° fan 

2) Add butter and sugar to bowl and mix together until light and fluffy 

3) Alternately add eggs and sieving flour to mixture

4) Add cocoa powder 

5) Add milk and vanilla essence 

6) Fill cupcake cases until around 3/4 full 

7) Put in the oven for 15-20 mins 

Tip - use a kebab skewer to test if cakes are done. Stick the skewer in the middle of the one cake if come out with mixture on then the cakes aren't done so put in for a little longer but keep your eye on them because you don't want them to burn, now that would be scary !!!

Adult Gymnastics

I was a gymnast so once i was old enough to take part in adult gymnastics i "jumped" at the chance.The idea of doing gymnastics but only doing the bits you want to and being able to push yourself as much as you were able really appealed to me and plus once a gymnast always a gymnast that urge to go and do a flick never goes away. 

After doing a short warm up, we were let loose on the gym... 

Once we had had a little play to find out what we could still do it was time to get back to business. One of my major goals while attending adult gymnastics was to see if i could still do a full twisting back somersault. Well here it is ... 

Once i had done my full twist the other moves just kept in coming... 

Upstart 

Standing tuck back 

So if you are a previous gymnast and want to get back into it or just someone who has always liked the idea  i would definitely recommend it. It is a great way to have fun but also exercise at the same time and because you are enjoying you don't realise how much exercise you are actually doing.

Whoops... what a mix up ?

This week, me and one of my friends decided to go into town after college. After finishing shopping we decided to go and get a hot chocolate and as it has been so cold we couldn't think of a better way to warm ourselves up before heading home.

My friend had put a caramel shot in hers and i had ordinary and the way we told the difference is because the one with the caramel shot had a funny shaped marshmallow. 

Now this is where the mix up comes in, as i started to drink mine i said mine tastes a bit weird, i wonder if they have changed their hot chocolate? but then she said mine tastes strange too. After having a sip of each others we realised they must have changed the glasses when putting them on the tray !!! 

So i guess now we know never to trust weird looking marshmallows but i must say a hot chocolate with a caramel shot = delicious.
