We received a special Skylanders Party package from Activision for free which also included a box of Duff Goldman’s Blue Suede cake mix. Opinions of this cake mix and the Skylanders brand is 100% my own. This blue cake mix with a blueberry flavor to it has a slight fruity flavor to it but it is certainly not overpowering. I really enjoyed it.
So with the cake mix there were a ton of things to use to throw a Skylanders themed party. There were decorations, balloons, temporary tattoos, glow sticks, bracelets and so much more. There was even a wall decoration that we could use to take photos with and masks, too. We even ate on Skylanders plates and napkins and drank from Skylanders cups.
We had our friends come over to share pizza and cake with us. I baked the cake this afternoon and Allison came home to decorate it. I gave her a Skylanders portal and some figures. I picked up some of Duff’s frosting and also some blue sprinkles. I had to use the Power Blue Trigger Happy as my character because it went well with the cake color and the sprinkles.
Well, you’ve gone and done it to me. You’ve gotten my excited about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 movie. While 50% of me is in it for Bebop and Rocksteady the other 50% is in it for Stephen Amell. I want to see what he does with the character of Casey Jones. Will he hold his own in the fight scenes with the other characters. So far from the commercials he’s not captured Casey for me. I am going to give this a chance because I know that he is a fun actor who can do amazing things. If anyone is going to elevate this Turtles franchise into something I’d be proud to recommend to friends then it is going to be Amell.
I wasn’t crazy about the new Turtles look when the first movie came out and the origin of the turtles was mangled for me. I am starting to find these guys growing on me. I think that because Bebop and Rocksteady look soo good that they make the look of these Turtles even better. It looks like it is going to be funnier than the first and lighter overall. Sure it will have action, there is great actio in the trailer, but the humor is there and I love the choices for the music that have been used in these trailers. So without me continuing to drone on here is the latest trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.
