Revision tips and ideas!

Hello everyone!

It has come to that time of year when we all get caught up doing revision for exams, so to make it easier we are going to give you some of our favourite ways of revising. I hope you enjoy and find this helpful! 

1. Schedule
Make a schedule and stick to it! This will make sure that you revise all subjects equally and you dont just stick to the ones that you enjoy the most. However, don't revise for too long at a time because you will become very tired and won't remember anything you are reading! TAKE BREAKS!

2. Colour coding
You may not think so...but this is very helpful for remembering things! In a exam you will be able to accociate the colours with different words and it will make it so simple!

3. SLEEP!!!
A good night sleep is definitely needed when revising or you may end up falling asleep! Especially as it can get extremely boring :)

(how cuteee!)

4. Post it notes
When trying to remember definitions or equations, write them on a post it note. You can then put them up all around your bedroom, in places where they are likely to be in your view, and read them. This is a very good technique for remembering small things because it makes you keep going over them!

5. Mind map
This makes it easier to revise facts about different topics. Make an individual mind map for each topic and write down as much as you can. This will help when trying to remember facts in exams as you can link ideas together.

I hope these ideas will help you in your revision and GOOD LUCK IN YOUR EXAMS!!!

Rainbow Cake!!

Hello, 

Today is Recipe Sunday and we are deeply sorry that we have not done this in quite a few weeks, we have been too busy revising and having fun! But to make it up to you we are going to tell you how to make a RAINBOW CAKE!! 

We've seen this around tumblr and the internet a lot and as it was my sister's birthday recently she really wanted one. So my mum took on the great challenge of making one and it was b-e-a-utiful... 

Let's Go!!

Ingredients:

• 350g self raising flower
• 350g soft butter
• 350g caster or light brown caster sugar
• 6 large free range eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 40ml semi-skimmed milk
• 6 food colouring gels

For the icing: 

• Betty Crocker vanilla icing

Instructions: 

1. First, preheat your oven to gas mark 4, 170 degrees Celsius/ 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix up the cake batter usually, cream the butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time and then add the flour and vanilla extract. If your mix was thick like mine, add the 40ml of semi-skimmed milk, adding a tablespoon at a time until the consistency is what you're happy with. 
2. Divide your mix into 6 bowls. I measured this by eye, not bothering to measure it exactly. Then mix one colour into each bowl. You should have six different coloured batches. However, don't add it all at once and keep mixing it in until you get the colour you want. 
3. Put them in the oven but be careful not to over bake them. It should take them about 20 minutes but only take them out when you can poke in a skewer and it comes out clean. 
4. When the cakes are cool, wrap them in clingfilm and put them in the fridge for a day. 

To assemble:

1. Put a little of the icing on the plate or cake stand and place the first cake on the icing- I chose purple as the bottom layer. 
2. Then keep doing this until you've assembled three layers of cake. Yet keep the layers of icing thin as you do not want the icing to be pushed out the sides of the cake. Once three layers have been assembled, put the cake into the fridge for thirty minutes to chill. 
3. Continue stacking the cake, try to position the layers so they are as even as possible. 
4. Apply a layer of icing on the cake, filling any gaps between layers. Once you cut into the cake the layers will be very obvious, don't worry. 
5. Once several layers of icing has been applied, chill for one hour...

Then enjoy!!!

So, we hope your rainbow cakes are fabulous and we would love to see pics of them, so send them to us at
