  This is really easy all you do is get both ingredients and mix a bit at a time. You want a nice pale yellow color. You could try adding food coloring but if you want funky colors then the next one is best for you!

Ingredients:

• Water
• Icing sugar

Poor two table spoons of icing sugar in a small bowl keeping adding water or icing sugar. when you get how much you want and its nice and moist, add food coloring of your choice! Beware some colors turn out really bright if you put lots in.

This one you cant make but you can buy it from the shops! Its called fondant icing.

Ingredients:

• Fondant icing
• Cake

When you put fondant icing on a cake the cake must be completely cool (this is the same for all icing) but with fondant icing you can get cool colors and you can make interesting shapes on cakes!

Enjoy Winter/ Ten awesome things to do in Winter!

Bit bored on what to do (and it's winter) well i have got a very long list of things to make you enjoy the winter and hopefully you'll definitely have something to do.

1.Draw your garden
I love drawing my garden, especially when its winter. All the snow and the trees it is so pretty. You could try drawing the features and the outline of your garden and then coloring with bright funky colors. also maybe draw all the details in your garden. but it is entirely up to!

2. Get warm in winter gear.
I love bobble hats and scarfs so one idea is to go shopping, by some awesome hats and scarfs, maybe some cute gloves.

3.Watch a movie
Get cosy on your sofa and watch your favorite films all day, make sure you've got lots of blankets on you and maybe eat some popcorn or maybe your dinner and just relax. One thing you could do is while watching your film have smelly candles round you, I've done that before and it was luxurious.

4.Make Mince pies
Homemade mince pies are the best if you see my other posts there should be one on how to make easy mince pies. Once you make them have them warm and put some whipped cream with it and it will be soooooo yummy!

5.listen to Christmas songs or your favorite songs if it isn't Christmas!
Why not listen to your favorite songs, turn up the sound and have a mini disco in your house! Also you could invite your friends round and have a super day!

6. Have a peaceful walk
When its winter it is soooo pretty especially when you get a close up! find out a local public footpath and wear your warm winter gear and enjoy the nature!

7.Play with all the presents you got for Christmas!
You must of got lots of presents from Christmas so why don't you just play with all the fun presents you got!

8.Read a book
You might not like reading you might find it boring if you do why not get a coloring book or a sticker book or maybe a annual. Some kinda book.

9. Making a fire
Now i don't want you to get the wrong end of the stick by thinking that i like setting fire to things, all i mean is when you have a open fire and sitting by it! it is so nice! and even if you don't have a open fire then maybe just getting really warm. Cause that's one thing that people don't like in the winter! Getting cold so maybe just sitting by the fire toasting marshmallows and having hot chocolate! Awesome!

10. Having  hot chocolate and marshmallows
When its the winter you have to have hot chocolate and marshmallows! They are both really good and there warm. But i do understand if you don't like marshmallows and hot chocolate! But i love them so yeah!

That was 10 ideas, i hope you liked them and well done to anyone who managed to read all the way to here! Hope it wasn't to much text! ill be doing more posts!
Bye

Five ways on how to warm up for gymnastics!

1. Hand Circles
Clasp your hands together like your clapping your hands, then circle them one way for ten, then the other.

2.Windmill

The windmill is very easy just make air circles in the air by going past your past your ears and going round. go forward for ten and then backwards for ten.

3. Reach for your toes

Reaching for your toes is very easy you just stand straight and without bending your legs you go down and reach for your toes. You can do this two ways, you can do it standing up or sitting down. If you cant reach your toes its fine you just hold as far as you can go!

4.The four points

This warm up is easy but hard, you stand in a v-shape with your knees straight and reach  down as far as you can go then try to touch the floor, that is your first point. Your second point is reaching under your legs, your third point

 is touching your left leg with both hands and then your right. Hold all four points for five seconds.

5. Pointy toes - naughty toes

This does sound really pathetic

but it is true if you point your toes your leg muscles will stretch and then when you stick your toes to the ceiling your letting your muscles relax again. So this method isn't as childish at all, infact it is very good for your muscles.
