Terri's Caramel Cake

Hey y'all! So, we all know last Thursday was Thanksgiving and of course Terri was stuffing her face, so please forgive her for not posting! And, Happy (belated?) Thanksgiving to you all! I hope that you all enjoyed the holiday because I did!
But today is a new day so, Happy Monday :)
What I am going to be posting today is a delicious Caramel Cake. I made this cake on Thanksgiving Day while in Florida and everyone loved it. This cake can be made whenever you want because it is so damn good! So lets gets started!!!!
BUUUTTTT First off, HAPPY CAKE DAY FANTASIA! Terri loves you so much and prays God blesses you with many more years! 

*Gets self together*

Okay, now we can get this cake started.

Here is what you will need:


Cake:
1 Moist Supreme Yellow Cake
1 cup Buttermilk
3 Eggs
1/3 cup Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Abstract
1 tsp Rum Abstract
2 9inch/ 8inch round pans

Frosting:
2 cans PET Milk Evaporated milk
1 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup White Sugar
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Butter

The Cake:
Oil and flour (2) 9inch round pans for the cake.
Put Moist Supreme Yellow Cake mix in mixing bowl. 
Follow the regular directions on the back of the box but instead of 1 cup of water, put 1 cup of milk. 
Put 1 tsp of vanilla extract into the mixture 
Put 1 tsp of rum extract into the mixture
Mix all ingredients as you would a regular cake.

Put half of cake mixture into one 9inch round pan, and the rest into the other 9inch round pan.

Bake cake for about 25-30 minutes 
Check cake after 20 minutes by poking with toothpick, if clean its done if not leave in for 5 more minutes and continue to check after every 5 minutes.

While your cake is baking in the oven you can start on the frosting! This is my favorite part!!

Frosting:
In nice size pot add butter, brown sugar, white sugar, pet milk, and vanilla extract over medium heat until all melted.

Keep over medium heat while stirring for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes turn temperature to medium high continuing to stir.
If mixture starts to bubble up just turn heat down a little and continue to stir.


After about an hour and 30 minutes the mixture should be a brown color, and thick to stir, if this happens earlier it is time to put the mixture on the cake! But let cool for like 3-4 minutes before putting directly on the cake.



I'm hoping you have taken your cake out to cool off. By doing this you must take your cakes out of the pans and set them on cooling racks.

To Frost the cake:
Put 1 of the 2 9inch cakes on a plate. Spread some caramel on the top of it. Then put the other 9inch cake on top of that and spread the remaining caramel on the entire cake til it is covered.



Depending on how to cook your caramel, it may come out smooth it may come out grainy. The first time I cooked it, it was smooth like caramel and very hard to work with, this time it came out grainy and it was easier to work with! But either way it's delicious!!!!

I'm telling y'all this is the best cake and the easiest cake to bring to a family gathering or event. It's so cheap to make yet so delicious. It'll have people asking you to bake them a cake. Have you feeling like Betty Crocker! The cake comes out so moist like it's homemade! I hope that these directions were clear enough for you to actually make this cake! If not just leave a comment or ask questions!!

Fall Fashion Trends for Less

Hello everyone, it's La'Tura here with some Fall Fashion! Fall has to be my absolute favorite season of the year. It is like the most perfect weather. It's not too cold nor is it too hot. (Well not down south in Louisiana.. haha) Fall colors consist of different deep/dark shades of green, orange, yellow, and red. The most common color everyone enjoys pulling out for this season is the deep reds and plums. As you may have seen so far, suede material has become very popular among all styles, definitely in those various deep red colors. In this post, I will show a daytime outfit that can be worn out on the town with your girls or at a family gathering and also a simple but yet sexy nighttime outfit for a lovely date with a significant other.  In both set of outfits,  I will show versatility of a suede bodycon dress. The plus about both of these outfits is that each and every item is all UNDER 100 dollars. Yes, you heard it right! Who doesn't love looking amazing for less!


Daytime outfit (first set):
-Hooded chunky cardigan, $20 (ROMWE.COM)
-Fringe leather cross-body bag, $20 (ZAFUL.COM)
-Leopard pointed toe flats, $26 (SHEIN.COM)
-Faux suede bodycon dress, $50 (HOUSEOFFRASER.CO.UK)

Nighttime outfit (second set):
-Necklace, $68 (NORDSTORM.COM)
-Clutch bag, $33 (ASOS.COM)
-Nude heels, $55 (HEELS.COM)
-Faux suede bodycon dress, $50 (HOUSEOFFRASER.CO.UK)


Thank you for staying tune for this week's post. Be on the lookout for more fashion ideas and trends from us as we slowly approach the winter season!

Lacey's Inspiration

For this weeks post I, Lacey, will be talking about the lovely Jadahdoll!


 Jadah is a 20 year old inspiration to young girls across the world. I just so happen to be one of those girls that are inspired by her. I have been following Jadah Since I was 17 years old, I am now 20. I have watched this beautiful young lady grow and change over time. 

I chose to talk about her in this post because she reminds me a lot like myself. She started as doing local modeling and posting them on instagram. From there on she has collaborated with many celebrities and gained a huge fan base. Jadah is a prime example of starting from the bottom and working your way to the top. She had a dream and pursued it and her dream came true even though she was battling thyroid disease. She manage to continue to do what she loves the most: modeling and playing video games. Jk,jk. She stands for basically being yourself and that is art in our eyes because we represent the beauty of art in all forms and Jadahdoll is ART. If I had the opportunity to meet her or do business with her it would be an honor and a pleasure. So I applaud to you. Jadahdoll, keep doing what you're doing; inspiring young women to follow their dreams and be themselves. Hopefully one day we, Divine Artistries, will inspire young girls like you do and be known worldwide.
