Make Chocolate Butterfly Cake Decorations
Chocolate chips (the less tasty, more waxy melting chocolate from the bulk bin is best) in your choice of colour. A ziploc freezer bag. 8 1/2" x 11" (or thereabouts) card stock. Fold your card stock lengthwise down the centre. Open it up to about a ninety degree angle. Cut sheets of parchment paper about the same size as your card stock, and crease them down the middle.
Make lots of room in your freezer. Heat a bowl of water in the microwave for about two minutes - long enough to get the water hot but not boiling. Meanwhile, fill your ziploc bag with a big handful of chocolate chips. Spread the chocolate out in a single layer in the bottom of the bag and set the bag in the hot water. Turn the bag over a few times and smush the chocolate around until it is all melted - no lumps!
Squeeze all the chocolate into one corner of the bag, and, holding it like a pastry bag, snip off the corner. You only want to snip a tiny bit off - you want a hole that is small enough to be precise, but large enough that the chocolate can flow easily through it.
You will be drawing your butterfly on the parchment paper, using the crease as a guide for the centre of the butterfly's body. Start by drawing a stick in that crease, then add wings on either side. Try for symmetry, but don't worry too much. You want to keep your hand moving in a steady, flowing motion so you don't get any lumps or thin spots. Photographing oneself doing this is tricky, hence the lumps. This butterfly was a taste test sacrifice.
You can rent one, with or without an operator, at very cheap prices. You may be surprised at how rapidly your track can take shape once you begin moving that dirt about. A couple of fine methods are to place berms at the bottom of already-existing hills and make jumps out of other available hills or mounds.
It is a sensible idea to create as many turns and corners as possible so that you will not be in a position to build up an excessive amount of speed approaching the jumps. If you want to build a dirt bike track that can offer you years of enjoyment with very little maintenance, you should stick to these four basic steps.
Do yourself a favor and spend as much time as you can planning the design of the track. A well-designed plan can be safer, a lot of fun, and need less work and maintenance. Making dirt bike tracks is definitely very rewarding as well as being a considerable amount of fun. Dirt bike motorcycles are fun anywhere you race, but racing, cornering, and jumping on your own personal dirt bike track is actually the greatest fun possible.
This overstimulating GIF celebrates what Blackbox is all about: shipping products from indie artists around the world, and having fun doing it. Robertson’s GIF was extremely well-received on Twitter, with over 850 retweets and 2,500 likes! GIFs are also a good way to add dynamic elements to graphs and flowcharts.
This makes them more visually interesting, showcasing the progression and aggregation of data, bringing it to life. I really liked this example from info we trust. 212 flowers in Jefferson’s Monticello garden. This is a complex example, but there are simpler ways to visualize your data using GIFs. Last year, Google launched Data GIF Maker.
