Jello Cake = Cheat Meal

This is one of my favorite cakes to make because it's not a normal cake and it is one of the most moist cakes you will ever make! I like to make it for certain occasions or certain holidays.

What you are going to need is:

1 box of white or vanilla cake mix

1 box of jello; strawberry, cherry, raspberry (any flavor you can buy the matching berry for)

1 straw

parchment paper

2 tubs cool whip

berries

Directions:

Follow the cake mix directions on the box, place parchment paper down on your cake pan and pour cake mix on top. Cook to the time shown on the box.

Let the cake cool completely, then make your jello according to the directions on the box. Use your straw and poke holes halfway through the cake and all over it. Once the holes are poked pour the jello over the whole cake.

Place your cake in the fridge for 2 hours. While the cake is setting in the fridge put your cool whip in the fridge so it can thaw. Once the cake is cool, ice it with the cool whip and add your berries. This cake is oh so yummy!

DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts

I absolutely love these! I love decorating for Halloween, I have to say it is my favorite holiday. I don't think you can have enough decorations up! So when I found this DIY project I just had to share! DIY Cheesecloth Ghosts You can find styrofoam mannequin heads at wig shots. They normally can stand on their necks but for this project you need to suspend them to let the cloth flow freely. Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape). Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features. Don't brush down the neck, stop at chin level so the fabric is loose below that. Repeat until you have 4 layers each being 7 feet long of cheesecloth...
