For my sisters birthday I made a Rainbow cake.
The colours I used were pink, yellow, green and blue.

If you want to make this cake here is how.

 Rainbow Cake

What you will need:
1 and a half cups of self raising flour.
Half a cup of plain flour
1 and a third cups of caster sugar
150g of melted butter
Half a cup + 6 tablespoons milk
Three eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

How to make it:

Preheat oven to 160c .

Line your four cake pans with baking paper.

In a large bowl combine your flours, sugar, vanilla, butter, milk and eggs.

Using a electric beater ,beat on low speed for 2 minutes or until just combined.

Then increase the speed to high for 3 minutes or until the mixture is thick and pale.

Next divide the batter into four bowls.

Add food colouring of choice to each bowl and mix well.

Put the mixture into your cake pans that you prepared earlier.

Bake for around 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack.



To make the chocolate ganach:

You will need:

250g dark chocolate
250 mls cream.

Heat the cream until just starting to boil.

Pour the cream over the chocolate,  wait two minutes, stir until combined.

Once the ganach has cooled, put one layer of cake on a plate.

Put the ganach on top.

Spread around and then add the other layer of cake on top.

Repeat with the reaming layers.

Put the rest of the gnash on top then spread it all the way to the edges , let it fall down the sides of the cake. Spread around.

Add your decorations then put it in the fridge to chill.

Once you are ready to eat,  take it out of the fridge and enjoy.

What four colours would you choose?

whats in the bag?

What's in the bag? A Probability game

Probability is estimating and chances. 

For example, if I had a bag and inside where 4 blue marbles and 2 red marbles, it is more likely for me to get a blue marble than a red marble. That is because there are more blue marbles than red ones.

How to play the game of chance.

What you will need to play the game:

A bag or container

Lego or counters.

How to play:

In the bag put 2 Pink Lego bricks,  2 Blue Lego bricks and 2 Yellow Lego bricks.

Mix it together.

Next estimate what colour you think you will draw out first.

Repeat 6 times.

What was the highest percentage and what was the lowest percentage of bricks removed from the bag.

Here is my What's in the bag?

I put in 2 orange Lego bricks

2 green Lego bricks and 2 yellow Lego bricks 

 It is a one third chance for me to pull out one of the three colours.

First I thought I was going to get green but I got orange.

Next I thought yellow but I got orange. 

Then I thought green and got yellow. 

I then thought green and got green. 

I Thought orange but got green.

Next I thought orange and got orange.

As you can see I pulled out 3 orange 2 green and 1 yellow.

On drawing these out half  come out orange one third come out green and one sixth was yellow.

Exotic ice cream

Roll up, roll up and get your new exotic ice cream flavour, Feijoa, White Chocolate and Cinnamon. It's dairy-free so anyone can have it. The cinnamon helps balance out the feijoa, while it gives you a good night sleep and makes you calm. The white chocolate gives you sweetness and makes you feel like you're on a fluffy cloud. The feijoa is tangy and not too overpowering, it is good for you because it's boosts your energy. If you are sick of those boring flavours this ice cream is for you. The first 11 get a free card to buy any ice cream.  But wait there's more, the first three get a tour around my factory and get a free ice cream. So what are you waiting for. My ice cream parlour awaits you!


What's your favourite flavour of ice cream?

Monkey Business

I would be a Monkey because, I could swing around and climb things. To start my day , I would eat berries and two bananas. After breakfast I would find a stream and swim in it.  At 11:00 am I would find lots of sturdy vines, and practice my swings for the next show. Ding! my watch would go off at 12:00 pm for an hour of climbing , four bananas and some nuts.  Two more hours of spy training and meeting the best monkey spy.  She would teach me everything that would make a good spy. I then had to fight off two crocodiles and one gorilla. After a hard day at work, I would go home and do some baking, probably a banana cake. Then I would cook dinner.  After dinner I would climb to the highest branch and go to sleep. That's what I do if I were a Monkey.


What animal would you choose and what would you do?

looming lockdown

My favourite thing about lockdown is getting to play outside when the weather is okay , and building the best hut ever.  My sister and I built the hut using four chairs, the kitchen table and about eight or more blankets. Three which were duvets. It was quite dark in there. The reason why we built the hut was, because we were so bored.  We built it in the kitchen area. Inside we played with our toy's and read books. My least favourite thing about lockdown is you can't do Anything!  It's really annoying that we can't see our friends and can't go to my favourite place which is the beach. Hopefully lockdown will end soon. 

What has been your favourite thing about lockdown?
This is a picture of the hut.

super sports

 On the 7th of November I got to do korf ball.  we're doing sports for 4 weeks.   I have two more sports to go lawn bowl and cricket then one more round of korf ball. korf ball is  a game in the Netherlands.   Here are some of the rules .  girls can only Mark girls and boys can only Mark boys.  The hoops were more in the middle  and they weren't like basketball or netball hoops that we have.  My team won.  Once we all started to get the hang of it he added in more rules.   I can't wait for next time.

 What sport would you chose to do out of lawn bowls cricket and korf balls?
