My Pinterest Summer: Project # 6 & 7

My beautiful, best friend, Miriah, finally turned 21!

In celebration of such a fun event, we decided to make some delicious things which just so happened to fit into My Pinterest Summer!

My sixth Pinterest project:

Berry-Peach Sangria!

Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of this fantastic drink, but I will tell you that it was sooooo good!

Here's what you need:
-A bottle of white wine of your preference (we used Barefoot Riesling)
-Two peaches
-Two containers of raspberries
-A container of strawberries
-Lemon-lime soda

Here's what you do:
-Cut up peaches and strawberries
-Put all fruit into a gallon pitcher
-Pour your lovely bottle of wine into pitcher
-Add lemon-lime soda to taste
-Stir
-Refrigerate (let it sit overnight for extra tastiness)


I think this has easily become mine and Miriah's favorite drink! It is so easy and inexpensive to make!

And now for my seventh Pinterest project: 

Chocolate cake!

I found this recipe for making a box cake taste like a cake straight from the bakery, so I had to try it!

Here's what you need:
-Cake mix of your choice (I used Milk Chocolate)
-Ingredients the cake mix calls for
-An extra egg
-Butter
-Milk

Here's what you do:
-Read cake mix directions
-Add an extra egg
-Use melted butter instead of oil and double the amount
-Use milk instead of water
-Follow cake mix directions for baking


This cake turned out amazing! It was delicious and moist and rich. Mmmmm(:

Here's the finished product:
Thanks to Tom and James for taking lead on the frosting when I ran out of time!

We had an amazing time celebrating Miriah's 21st birthday with some great friends!
 Make a wish!

 Good times with great friends!

Being our usual selves!

I even took her out at midnight for her first 'official' drink! 

Happy Birthday to my best friend/sister/soulmate! You are such an amazing woman of God and I am so blessed to have you there to put up with all of my craziness! Luff chew!
