Pistachio Torte

Hi everyone!!! Sorry I haven't blogged in like what, forever??? Well I've got a couple to do in the next few days!!! (or if your lucky I might do both today-haha)

Well my first post will be about... wait for it...              Pistachio Torte!!!!!!  It was delicious!!!

If you would like to try this torte here is were you can: http://www.whimsy-love.com/2008/04/pistachio-torte-recipe.html    (You should totally try it!!!)

 up above: that was the bottom layer (the crust) after I baked it. (it doesn't look much different before you put it in the oven) In the crust there was flour,butter, and walnuts. In  the recipe it just says "butter" but it needs to be very soft if not melted. I didn't soften the butter enough so i had to put the whole bowl with the flour, butter, and walnuts all in the microwave. You don't want to have to do that, trust me!!!

 up above: this was the second layer. In this layer I had to beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 carton of cool whip. Once the crust was cooled I had to pour this mixture on top of it!!!

 up above: the green layer is milk and the pudding powder. I poured it over the cream cheese mixture and then spread the other half of the cool whip on the pudding mixture. Then I put it in the refrigerator to cool.

up above: finished with the cool whip all spread out on top!!!

                                              up above: the first slice of torte that we cut!!!

Thanks for reading!!! I've got another post to make! Hope You'll come back and read it!!!
                                                            See you later- Sadie

Happy 9th Birthday

Hi! On Halloween it was my cousins birthday. She was turning 9. I used the cart. "Birthday Bash" Every thing on the front is cut at 3 inches. In the middle of cutting the size for the card it self I messed up on the sizing so it is an awkward sized card.

This is some of the materials that I used

This is the card all done and COMPLETE 

This is the front and inside of the card.

Inside with dark green sparkle pen.

Thanks for reading  I hoped you liked it!

Birthday Party Decorations!!!!

Hi everyone! Today I am going to show you how I made streamers ruffly and how I made dots on a string.

So for the ruffly streamers I took two different colored streamers and over lapped them just a little bit then just used a straight stitch with high tension and sewed away. You don't need to pull on of the strings they just ruffle on their own.
The site that I got this from was Gabriel's Good Tidings. blogspot,com

This is when they were all hung up

Down below is the dots on strings. For this we cut out 1" and 2"  circles. We did light pink, pink, light purple, and purple.
I sewed them together at all different lengths. This too was a strait stitch.
We had them on one long string then cut them to what length we wanted them to be. 

                                     Thanks for reading! Hope to have you look at more of my posts!

Smores cookies

Hi! This is my 1st post ever on my very own site. I have done a few on my moms blog www.michelegreen.com but I got my own now and am super excited about it.

 Recently I made Smores cookies.  I used the recipe here: http://www.abountifulkitchen.com/2011/08/smores-cookies.html

My mom gave me a list of web sites that had recipes on it it was a hard chose but I chose the cookies. I told my sister and she got so excited (she loves smores and cookies so she loved that)

The picture above it just the cookie batter baking (yes they are a lot bigger than normal cookies)

In this picture I am cutting big marsh mellows in half. Once the cookies are done baking I had to VERY QUICKLY place half a marsh mellow on top of the cookies. There is not a picture but then you bake for 2 min again then quickly put on 2 Hershey's rectangles. We did not do it but the recipes says to smear it around so the marsh mellow looks hidden.

Thanks for visiting and hope to have you visit in future posts. I hope you liked my first post. Thank you!
