Swirly Cupcakes!!!!

Hi this is me again and here are some supercalifragilisticexpealidocius cupcakes that are fun for kids and adults!!! This recipe is by the American Girl company.


You will need


1 box of white cake mix
4 food coloring colors
5 bowls
cupcake stuff (pans,cupcake liners,etc.)


1. Follow directions on the box until you get to the part where you pour it in the muffin cups.


2. Separate batter into 4 bowls add about 5 drops of one food coloring in each bowl. Now you should have four bowls of different colored batter.


3. Pour a little batter into each muffin cup. Don't overdo it because remember that you will be pouring 4 things of batter into each cup. Then put the next color and next until you have a 3/4 filled layered colored batter. Doing this will create a swirl and don't be afraid to experiment with the colored batter.


Have fun!!!!

Burgers 101

I've been doing a small science experiment for a science fair and I thought it would be good to post.
I left 5 burgers out on a table for 9 days and here are the results:

burger 1: McDonalds   It never rotted at all!!!!!
burger 2 : Burger King  It didn't rot instead it grew this icy substance all over the burger.
burger 3 : In and Out     It rotted at day 5. It grew bumpy substances on it .
burger 4 : Smash Burger Same as burger 3, but grew common house mold.
burger 5 : Carls Jr.         Same as 3 too, but instead it grew this greenish blue substance.

I also found out the size to the price

McDonalds has $1 burgers but they are mini like 1 inch and you can't even see the burger!!!!!
In and Out is probably best because it has quality, good and has real meat (cough cough), it also has a nice size burger and a cheap price (usually 3 or 4 dollars). Burger King is sorta a mix of both Mcdonalds and In and Out. Smash burger is a little bit bigger than In and Out but usually costs 5 or 6 bucks. Finally Carls Jr. was just like Burger king only bigger.

I think In and Out's burger is the best burger because it has so many good traits.

In and Outs burger after 6 days
All the burgers together
