My Favorite Looks from the 2013 AMA Awards

There were many beautiful looks last night at the AMA Awards so I thought I'd share some of my favorites. I like it when the outfit or dress is different and creative but remaining classy.



Zendaya
Zendaya looked so beautiful in a lovely flowy outfit that was very flattering. Her hair and makeup were kept simple yet stunning. Her shoes are awesome!!

  

Christina Aguilera

Christina looked stunning in a white cutout dress. The cutouts on the dress weren't too big, she still looked classy. The jewelry she wore was super sparkly and pretty!

 

 Joan Jett

Joan Jett looked so awesome and cool last night. She mixed the perfect amount of blue in with the black. I also loved that she was wearing purple eye shadow!

 

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga's dress was such a pretty purple dress. Her hair looked like a mermaid and I love her natural makeup.

Kelly Osbourne

Kelly's sliver and grey color scheme seems to bring out her lovely purple hair. The bottom of her dress is so pretty and glittery! 

I found all these pictures at people.com.

Those were the looks that stood out to me as both pretty and creative. Which look from last night was your favorite?

Much Love,

Amanda

 

How To Put Together a Layered Cake

   Layered cakes are fun to make, pretty to look at and delicious to eat. What you are going to need is:

1 Chocolate Cake*

1 Vanilla Cake*

1/2 cup Vanilla Pudding

1/3 cup Chocolate Ganache 

2 Tooth Picks

  Let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes before taking them out. If you flour the pans right the cakes should just slide right out. Let them cool completely before starting the next step.

  Once the cakes are completely cool, put your chocolate cake on a plate and pour the vanilla pudding on the center of the cake. Using a spoon spread the pudding around the middle of the cake making sure not to go all the way to the edge of the cake, leave about 1 inch around the edge. 

  Place the vanilla cake on top of the pudding. Your cake might slide a little so put the 2 tooth picks in the cake to help steady it. 

  Pour your chocolate ganache on top of the whole cake and spread it around so there isn't any vanilla cake peaking through the chocolate ganache. 

*Use your favorite cake recipes but remember to flour or coco powder the cake pans before pouring the batter into them!
