No, No, No, It's Not Happening...
Why does CBBC have to premiere such stupidly inappropriate cartoons?!
To keep away from this mess, just watch Scream Street series 1 on iPlayer. You'll thank me later...
Star Wars Joke Book
Look what I got in the post! The Star Wars Joke Book - some of them might inspire some new stories in my mind. I haven't thought any up, but I have thought up a Bluey recipe!
Bluey & Bingo Are Even More Excited!
Bluey Season 3 Chocolate Cake
Big news - Bluey Season 3 is coming to Disney+ next month, on the 10th of August! So to celebrate, make this wackadoo cake to share when the series comes out. You will need:
150g cocoa powder
600ml boiling water
360g butter, softened
600g caster sugar
2tsp vanilla extract
6 eggs, room temperature
360g self raising flour
2tsp baking powder
½tsp bicarbonate of soda
½tsp salt
For the icing:
250g butter, softened
500g icing sugar, sifted
Yellow, orange, black, pink, blue and white food colouring
To make this triple layer chocolate cake, preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease and flour the 25cm round cake tins.
Combine the boiling water with the cocoa powder and stir until smooth. Leave to cool.Sift the flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla then the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add all of the flour, gently mix until just combined. Fold in the cooled cocoa.
Divide the mixture into the prepared cake tins and bake for 35 mins or until a cocktail stick inserted into the centre of each cake comes out clean. Loosen the edges with a knife to reduce cracking the cake as it cools and shrinks. Leave to cool for 20 mins then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the buttercream: Melt the chocolate over a bain marie.
Cream the butter until smooth, gradually add the icing sugar and continue to cream until light and fluffy. Add the chocolate and beat until combined. Finally add the vanilla and the milk, creaming until combined and the mixture is soft, add a little extra milk if you feel it is not a spreadable mixture.
Cut the tops off each cake and level. Using a palette knife spread a coating of buttercream onto the top of the bottom two cake layers. Sandwich the three layers together.
Place the icing sugar and the butter in another bowl and stir until thick and creamy. Next, divide it into separate bowls and add the food colouring.
Spread the blue icing over the top of the cake, then coat the sides. Ice some outlines of tiger face paint Bingo from Curry Quest, Lucky’s dad holding a pink present from Pass The Parcel and Chef Bandit from Pavlova.
Colour your iced characters well, then write ‘10.8.22’ up above using black icing.
Serve and enjoy, kiddos!
Come Back, Bluey!
I thought Bluey would never premiere with new episodes on Disney+, not since CBeebies announced their new episodes....but next month on the 10th of August, it'll finally happen!
Yes, you heard me, Bluey Season 3 is finally premiering on Disney+ all over the world, and soon it'll air on Disney Channel and Disney Junior in America! I can't wait. I'm finally going to see episodes like Curry Quest, Pass The Parcel and Faceytalk up close and personal, even when Mum goes to the vet the day after it's released. Trust me, it'll be awesome! Here's all you need to celebrate the arrival of the new series right here:
