That time I attempted to make a S'mores Cake.

In my head I believe I am the best baker of life. I have all these cool ideas and awesome tricks that I believe I can do and I'll be great at. Then I actually bake and the truth comes out. What I bake is delicious but it always looks like crap and I made a huge mess. Delicious, but a crappy mess.

I have been in a mood to bake or cook something and post it up on here forever now. I finally got my big girl panties and decided to try it out. I was on pinkwhen.com and saw this amazing S'mores cake recipe so I decided to take my crappy messy baking chances and get my bake on. Let me say, I didn't do half bad if I say so myself.

Ingredients:

• 1 or 2 (I used 2 for an overly large cake) Yellow cake mixes.
• Graham Crackers
• Marshmallows
• Chocolate Frosting
• Chocolate Chips (Pinkwhen used Hershey Chocolate bars)

 

Bake your yellow cake mix or mixes with ingredients listed on the box. Follow box instructions as well. Once cakes are fully baked, allow to completely cool down. While cakes are cooling down, you can crush the graham crackers. I placed them in a Zip Lock back and started hammering away with my hands. It's a great stress reliever lol.

 

Once cakes are fully cooled, take them out of the baking pans, Place chocolate frosting on the first cake and sprinkle a layer of the crumbled up graham cracker on top of frosting.

 

Take the second cake and spread some chocolate frosting. Place a small amount of the graham cracker crumbs on top of the frosting. Leaving some chocolate cracker free will allow the marshmallows to stick to the cake properly.

 Place the marshmallows on top of cake. I added some chocolate chips just for fun. You can never have too much chocolate. Place in the oven with the broiler on to toast the marshmallows and melt the chocolate.

Make sure to keep a really close eye on it. The marshmallows will toast quickly and you do not want them to burn. You want them to get a nice light brown bronze color.

Once marshmallows are toasty and taken out of the oven. Allow it to cool down. Once cooled, place the marshmallow cake on top of the cake with the graham crackers and frosting. Take the remaining chocolate frosting and spread around layered cake to cover up the sides.

Once that is complete, start placing the chocolate chips all around the cake. You can always use and place the graham cracker crumbs around the cake as well.

Doesn't it look so yummy? When ready to serve just slice it up and mm. mmm. gooood. You can always heat it up in the microwave and have a warm s'mores-gaborge. 

It did not come out anywhere near as nice as pinkwhen.com but it sure was delicious. It went out pretty fast even if it was a ginormous cake. What are some of your favorite s'mores delights? I think I'm going to try that fantastic s'mores dip that I have been seeing all over the internet! Hope you enjoy. If you make this cake let me know how yummy it went (:

Happy Baking <3

That time I skipped Work...

I know, I know… Yesenia what were you thinking. You naughty, bad girl. ( & yes I am imagining a super hot country boy tell me that). How can you lie and why would you skip work and possibly jeopardize getting fired. Well, relax. I wasn’t jeopardizing anything and I didn’t get fired. I am so beyond happy that I did it. Besides being away from your job outside in the beautiful sun, is so much better than being at your job stuck inside a gloomy stuffy grey old office. Am I right?! I thought so. I’ve wanted a day off for months. I just randomly decided that Wednesday was going to be that day.  I woke up at 7 am, called my boss and called in sick. Yay. The End. Just Kidding…

 

It was such a beautiful day outside. I wasn’t going to stay home and be a couch potato. I wanted to be productive. So I took my happy ass and my sister to be lazy productive at the beach. Usually when I go with my sisters we have an all out photo shoot, and that’s exactly what happened.

We were half way in the middle of this so called photo shoot when I got a text from my friend saying to pass by his job and go on his boat since we were close by. Did I mention this friend is a scuba diver instructor and I may have a teeny tiny crush on him. Just teeny.  Anyways, usually I’m not the type to just go and be impulsive, especially when it’s around a guy I think is cute… but he invited, he is cute, and we were going on a boat. 

Miami Skyline from the boat.

Once we got on the boat we rode out to a ship wreck miles out of Key Biscayne. What a sight to see. It was absolutely beautiful. Turns out that we weren’t just on the boat to watch other people scuba dive but we were going snorkeling. It was amazing.  We saw so many jelly fish. Apparently it’s jelly fish season. It was also really cool watching my friend in action and what he did at his job. He seems pretty fearless and that’s pretty cute haha. 

My friend at work..

I can’t believe I picked the perfect day to skip work. Who would have thought that I would have been snorkeling in blue water miles out of Miami instead of being stuck filing paperwork and dealing with customers? I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day. I’m planning my next skip day very soon. 

Ohh & if you are ever in Miami and want to Scuba Dive or Snorkel, check out Aquatic Explorers! ♥

That time I got a call back...

About a month ago, I was watching the show The Real World.

This show is all out crazy and awesome and fun at the same time.

I just broke up with exmannn and I was feeling like I needed some thrill in my life...

So I applied.

I honestly don't remember what I wrote to them, 

but I told them my name, that I was short and had a super squeaky voice...

&& That my boobs were big. lmfao. 

Hey you need to get their attention somehow!

& I also sent them three pictures.

Well... Yesterday I got an email saying they would like an interview in person!

How crazy would it be if I actually got picked to be on the show.

I don't know if I would do it, but I'm going to the audition with my bestfriend.

I have nothing to lose & it would be a great experience.

So lets see what happens. I will keep ya'll posted.

Famous girl status anyone?? (;
