Wedding Crasher: Lurkyloo’s 4 Parties in 3 Nights with 2 Cameras and 1 Fabulous Hat

[irisbud]

A cake in the shape of a Passporter would have been awesome! I hope that one at least tasted good...

BTW, I think your dress looks fabulous on you!

I have to tell you that I just busted out laughing about your description of the Passporter cake.....Aunt Mabels kleenex box cover!!!! I had to fill my DH in on what was so funny...you CRACK ME UP!!! Thanks for keeping me laughing Carrie!!

In the weeks leading up to the party I had been desperately curious to know A) what flavor the cake would be and B) what it would look like. (Yes, OK, I think about cake a lot!).

Carrie, my mother-in-law sent me this recipe earlier this week, and I just have to share it with you. It's not gourmet by any means, but I will say it is really frikken good when you have an instant cake craving. I tried it with the hubby today (I was "good" and shared), and he came up with the brilliant idea to add peanut butter the next time we have it. As he was mentioning the peanut butter I actually had an instant "Ooh, Lurkyloo would love this!" moment!

So, here it is, and like I said, it may not be gourmet, but it is quite yummy:

Most Dangerous Cake recipe in the world
If you are craving a quick dessert here is the best recipe.... 5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE!!
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips or (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract and your favourite tipple1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to your largest mug and mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using), vanilla extract and a drop or two of your favourite tipple, then mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT! (This can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
this is the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now you are only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!


I'll let you know if the peanut butter addition is any good

Oh I love your dress, its too cute and the fact you were chatting it up with different ladies makes it even cutter. Too fun.

The Living Seas Salon photos bring back memories for me, its where we had our reception and your right, its way to dark in there. Its funny, I don't remember the mirrors when you first walk in, but maybe thats because I was greet by everyone and they were quickly bussling my dress. My fav. story of the few min before we made our entrances is, the restroom that is right there when you walk in, DH and I both used. I walked in, the door was open, and I stood there going, how am I going to do this? How do you pee in such a big dress? I called DH, he came in(there was no one else in there but us), we went into the handcap stall and he held my dress up for me. It was so funny, his first offical husband duities. Now thats true love.

Anyhow, enough about that, looks and sounds like the party was fun. Im glad you had a good time.

I never knew Pop wasn't with in WDW. Too funny. You had asked about a TR, I just posted one. Sorry no photos, still working on those. It takes me forever. lol http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2188110

 

[MAGICFOR2]

What a cool party - and you looked fabuloso! I think others should have dressed as well, it was a momentous occasion!

Ooh, I have to try that dangerous cake recipe. That sounds like just what I need because if I make a cake I'm the only one who'll eat it!

Thanks for sharing! I HAVE to try this! I'm always scouring the pantry for something sweet and I always have all of those ingredients hanging around.


Mrs. Lurkyloo, too funny about the invisible piano player and crocheted tissue box cover!

 

[A-T-G]

Great update! Now, I'm feeling spoiled! Your dress, Carrie? Amazing on you! I loved it! And can only imagine how good it looked with your hat!

Sorry to hear the cake was not legendary. I was hoping it would be.

OMG5MIN.CAKE?!?! I am in so much trouble!

 

[DisneyFairy66]

I LOOOOVE Your TR but I must ask...what camera do you use because I love how the pics come out!!!!!

 

[lurkyloo]

That's the downside to a solo trip - when your loved ones and friends are somewhere else and you are wanting to continue the evening but find yourself alone. Like you, I have just gone to a lobby and sat and walked around Crescent Lake and the boardwalk area late at nite, which can be very peaceful but a bit lonely too. I have also jumped into the quiet side pool at the Yacht Club at 1am for a quiet swim because I just wasn't ready for my nite to end! I had no problem going to the parks solo, or even dining solo. But once midnight hits it's kinda nice to have a cohort!

Well said - you hit the nail on the head!

another fabulous update. I loved it all.

I played the clarinet in the band until my Sr yr...I got to be one of those annoying flag corp girls then. Sorry I had to say it.

I love Jensey's photos. She is beyond talented. I want that 20 yr vow renewal so bad.

Wow - congrats on almost 20 years!

Great update Carrie Bluezoo looked delicious. I hope the banquet menu food is just as good. I believe Simply Fish is one of my choices. LOL. Thanks for the pics!

I can't wait to hear all about it - maybe you'll start a trend toward bluezoo for Escape weddings!

Another great update. That food looks really good, but the cake was a bit unimpressive.

Thank you for all the pictures of the Living Seas, it does make me reconsider using it.

Oh geez - I hope I didn't come down on it too hard there! It is really nice in the salon - really well maintained, and the aquarium windows are a big bonus. It's just too bad they couldn't have sunk a skylight in there or something.

A cake in the shape of a Passporter would have been awesome! I hope that one at least tasted good...

BTW, I think your dress looks fabulous on you!

Thank you! I don't know why I felt so self-conscious... oh yeah, cuz everyone else was in shorts and jeans!

I have to tell you that I just busted out laughing about your description of the Passporter cake.....Aunt Mabels kleenex box cover!!!! I had to fill my DH in on what was so funny...you CRACK ME UP!!! Thanks for keeping me laughing Carrie!!

Any time! (I'm also good at comical burping - just let me know. )

OK, this is how mine turned out - not a thing of beauty, but sweet merciful crap, I had chocolate-peanut butter cake inside 5 minutes!!!

Leaning Tower o' Cake

I wish I'd had chocolate chips - it's a little dry without them (bakers beware), but the big dollop of peanut butter I baked in the middle helps. The other thing that helps is the frosting I made out of peanut butter and powdered sugar!

Thanks so much for this awesome recipe! This is my favorite part:

Wow - that IS true love! You are a very lucky lady.... also, thanks for the link to your trippie!

That sounds like just what I need because if I make a cake I'm the only one who'll eat it!

And this is bad... how?

Thanks for sharing! I HAVE to try this! I'm always scouring the pantry for something sweet and I always have all of those ingredients hanging around.


Mrs. Lurkyloo, too funny about the invisible piano player and crocheted tissue box cover!

Doesn't that piano look like Wonder Woman's invisible plane? You're looking at it going "That thing's not invisible - I can clearly see the white outlines!" Plus, what good was an invisible plane if you could still see a seated Wonder Woman hurtling toward you?

Great update! Now, I'm feeling spoiled! Your dress, Carrie? Amazing on you! I loved it! And can only imagine how good it looked with your hat!

Aw, thanks! Also, try the cake! But don't forget the chocolate chips.

I LOOOOVE Your TR but I must ask...what camera do you use because I love how the pics come out!!!!!

Hiya! You know your sister just asked that very question a few days ago. I guess it's true what they say about great minds.

If you mean the pictures that look like this...

...then that's my camera, a 9-year-old Canon Powershot S200.


But if you mean the pictures that look like this...

... that's the amazing Mrs. Jensey Root (OK, technically, Mrs. Nathan Root, but let's drag Emily Post into the 21st Century, shall we?) and her Canon EOS 5D Mark II plus some Photoshop plus heaping truckloads of talent.

She's so sneaky that Wonder Woman!

Thank you for another stellar update. Unfortunately, I am reading at work so I have to use my vivid imagination to conjure up the vision of a crocheted tissue holder on the back of Aunt Millie's toilet (or was that Aunt Mabel?)! I can't wait to get home to see that cake!

 

[snow_white725]

I saw your link to this TR in another post and had to check it out because everyone loves a Lurkyloo TR!

However, all your cake and food photos have left me starving!

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

When I saw an adorable little 5-year-old trying to take her family’s picture in the UK, I stopped to help them get a shot of the whole family and then blew them butterfly kisses as a rainbow appeared and bluebirds carried the camera back to them on a wave of song (for some reason, the children didn’t ask me to sign their autograph books....).

This made me lol!

 

[DisneyLover1234]

Carrie!!! I am so glad to have met you! And I Love my wedding pictures, I'm jealous you got to see them before me hahaha. I just realized that we didn't get a picture together

Everything went so fast and I thought I would have time after the fireworks, but it didn't turn out that way Next time you are in Orlando let me know, Im from Jax and we love making trips to disney

I'm so happy they got pictures of the food, I didn't even get to see it. And you totally should have eaten some and let me know what it tasted like haha.

 

[Jinxy]

Carrie,
Loved the dress and you weren't over-dressed there is no such thing

Jinxy

Who put a link to her TR in her sig. and hopes it works
ETA Well I guess it didn't

 

[DisneyFairy66]

Your pictures are great and so are Jenseys!

I have a sony cybershot and I wish my camera would take pics that good. Maye i need to play with the settings some more.
But great photos!!!

I updated your flickr feed for ya!

Sorry about that... but glad you found the trippie!

This made me lol!

I wish I'd had room! And that I had dragged Jensey over to get a picture together. I just didn't wanna bug you cuz I knew you had a *lot* going on! I would love to meet up with you again!

Carrie,

Thanks! Re: the signature - maybe you have to have 10 posts to put stuff in your signature, the way they require you to have 10 posts before you can post pictures?

Your pictures are great and so are Jenseys!

I have a sony cybershot and I wish my camera would take pics that good. Maye i need to play with the settings some more.
But great photos!!!

Thanks! My sister-in-law loves her Cybershot - maybe yours has an "Awesome Disney World Pix" setting...

Why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now you are only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

Actually its more dangerous....I am now 2 minutes away from cake batter!

 

[MEK]

Not quite how I pictured Aunt Mabel's toilet tank tissue holder, but equally funny! That's some serious decorative artwork. A tad busy, I might say! Thanks for the flicker feed. You made my day!

 

[figmentfan814]

Okay, Carrie, I just found this report, so needless to say I'm only on pg. 20 and my comments are going to be a little old
1. That's great to hear confirmation about the Socerer Hat being removed. Last year the week of our wedding, my parents dined with an Imagineer and he told them that removing the hat was in the plans, but no definite timeline had been set yet.
2. I am a total PB & chocolate fan and must hunt down the cake at Boardwalk. I can second the fact that the PB chocolate filling and chocolate cake is quite delicious in the refriegerator; we did that with our wedding one and anniversary cakes.
3. The Plaza is also a great solo restaurant; I did that on my one single day in MK in February.
I can't wait to see the LSS; although I'm sure its already posted I just have to finally make my way to it
