What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys.

Twister Cake

 Pin to Pinterest

Right hand on red, left foot on yellow! Does this sound like a familiar board game? Growing up, I used to love to play Twister! Players always ended up in the craziest positions, would fall to the ground, and we all would explode in laughter. This Twister Cake is perfect for a family game night, kid’s birthday party, or perhaps something as small as having a friend over.

Ingredients:


Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 8 x 8″ cake pan with a non stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together your sugar and butter.
  3. Then mix in your vanilla extract and eggs one at a time.
  4. Now mix in your flour, baking powder, and milk.
  5. Pour your thick creamy batter into your pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 with a clean tooth pick.
  6. Let your cake cool and transferred to a cake platter.
  7. Frost with a creamy vanilla frosting.
  8. Roll out each color fondant in between two pieces of parchment paper and use a circle cookie-cutter to cut out four circles from each color (a total of 16 circles).
  9. Place your fun in circles on top of your cake like a twister mat: red, yellow, blue, and green columns.
