Helloo there! ? Today I have the final video in our KSW back-to-school series!! ? We’re making these FIVE adorable USB flash drives perfect for storing and transporting all those important files ?? Enjoy!!
Helllooo there! Today we have round two of mini cakes, and this time we’re taking on some of the most popular and famous bakes out there! I had lots of fun baking up and decorating these guys, and I hope you enjoy them!
Supply List — some helpful stuff for making these
Mini Cake Pan — this might technically be mainly for chocolate, but it’s oven-safe and great for cake too!
Candiquik — this is my FAVORITE for dipping/drizzling/etc. You do have to color it yourself with oil-based food color since it only comes in white and chocolate, but I promise you it is 1000000o% worth it! It’s perfect melting consistency right out of the package, and there’s no need to add canola oil or paramount crystals to thin it. And it comes in a microwave-safe tray. And you can usually find it at Safeway and Target in the baking aisle. Need I say more? ?
In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe jug, melt together butter and milk in the microwave. Mix in vanilla extract.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Pour into ungreased cake mold and add in mix-ins (cocoa powder, food color, sprinkles, etc.) if desired. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Are you ready for back-to-school? “YES!!” Wow, that’s amazing!! I love your positive attitude! You know what would make back-to-school even better? “Cute notebooks?” Incredible — I was just thinking the same thing! Aaaand lucky for you, today I have four super kawaii notebooks that I’ll show you how to DIY! We really do think alike, huh? In any case, enjoy the video and I wish you all a fantastic first day of school!!
In my first trial, I used Mod Podge as the glue to stick down the notebook cover and I got tons of air bubbles once I brushed the layer of Mod Podge on top. I think it’s because the Mod Podge didn’t adhere the paper very well to the notebook cover, and the top coat layer of Mod Podge really revealed those spots. If you look closely in the video, you might notice that I actually remade the Pop-Tart cover! So instead, I recommend using a glue stick to stick down your paper, and just make sure you cover ever inch of your paper with the glue stick. I know, it seems excessive, but it really makes a difference once you brush over the top coat! If you get any air bubbles still, just heat up the cover a bit with a heat gun/blowdryer, and then press down on the air bubbles.
