Once the cake is fully covered with white frosting, decorate it with the remaining blue and pink frosting. Pipe the colored frosting in dots, flowers, or stars around the cake in whatever design you like.  A #8 tip on your piping bag is ideal for adding pearl shapes around the cake. A #12 tip on your piping bag is ideal for adding dots to the cake. A #4 tip on your piping bag is ideal for writing a message on the cake, such as “It’s a …” If you don’t have a piping bag, you can put the frosting in plastic bags, snip off the corner, and pipe simple dots and swirls with it.

Summary: Use the remaining pink and blue frosting to decorate the cake.


Your body and mind are transforming themselves. You’re full of hormones that make your emotions intense and difficult to regulate. You’re constantly in social situations at school and at home that exacerbate those emotions. Taking control of your life also means recognizing what’s out of your control: this is an awkward, rocky time in your life. It’s important to accept that.  The neurological and hormonal changes and developments in your body can make it difficult to control and cope with your emotions. You may feel overwhelmed, confused, and out of control. Know that this is normal, and there are things you can do to help you stay healthy and cope. Understand that adolescence is something everyone goes through, so don’t be too critical of yourself. Don’t be too concerned about judgment from your peers or from adults. At some point, you will look silly, say something awkward, trip and fall, and so on: it's part of the deal. Growing and developing take lots of energy, and getting through a packed schedule demands even more. It’s essential to eat a well-balanced diet to fuel your growth and productivity. Never skip any meals, and always make sure to eat breakfast to get your day going on a full tank.  Half of what you eat should be fruits and veggies. Balance the rest of your diet out with whole grains, like whole grain bread, brown rice, or oatmeal, and lean proteins, like turkey, chicken, seafood, and eggs. Talk to your doctor to learn more about your specific dietary needs. There’s no “right” number of calories to eat, and no universal portion size for everyone. If you’re a very active boy, you’ll need to eat more than a less active girl. Get to know your body’s needs and take this time while you’re young to establish long-lasting healthy habits.  Teens should not go on weight-loss diets or try to lose weight by eating less unless recommended by your doctor. Your teenage years are a tumultuous time, and there will be times when you feel stressed and overwhelmed. Learning healthy, productive ways to deal with your emotions will not only help you take control of your life as a teenager, it will also set you up for success as an adult.  When you find yourself getting upset, try asking yourself the following questions: "What am I reacting to?"; "What about this is making me so upset?"; "Is this a fact or just an opinion?"; "Am I jumping to conclusions?"; "Am I putting more importance on this than it actually deserves?"; "Will this be important in six months?" Communicate assertively. Many people wrongly think "assertive" means "aggressive." Being assertive means you clearly and respectfully express your wants and needs and that you listen and honor the opinions of others as well. Don't expect anyone to know what you want or need — if you need some space, simply ask for it. Say something like, "I'm feeling really stressed and overwhelmed right now. I need to just go to my room and be alone for a little while." Learn to breathe deeply. Feeling overwhelmed may trigger your sympathetic nervous system, known as your fight or flight response. You can counteract this with diaphragmatic breathing, in which you breathe deeply into your belly. Place your hand on your stomach and feel your belly rise as you inhale for a count of five. Hold for a moment, then exhale for another five seconds. Do this until you begin to feel calm. Journaling is a great way to work through your emotions and vent. Try free-writing three pages in a notebook every day. Don't worry about spelling, grammar, making sense, or even being fair. Just let loose with whatever is going through your mind at that moment (just be sure to keep this journal private). Find ways to reduce your stress. Running, meditation, doing something creative, going for a bike ride, playing video games, shopping — whatever positive activity makes you feel better and less stressed, give yourself permission to enjoy it. Most teens do not get the recommended amount of sleep, which is at least nine to 10 hours a night. Remember, those changes your body is going through take a lot of energy, and you need to rest to recover. It’s okay for teens to sleep late on the weekends, so remind your parents that your oversleeping is not a sign of laziness, but something that’s necessary for your body.  Try to go to bed and wake up at regular times. Develop a sleeping routine. Don't stare at your phone or computer right before going to bed, and try to listen to relaxing music or read a book to create a good sleep environment. Being active every day can help you gain control over your changing body, keep a positive mindset, and helps you to simply have fun. It’s recommended that teens be active for at least 60 combined minutes a day, whether through physical education or gym class, participating in a sport, or riding a bike.  Get active outside to help cut down on your “screen time,” or the time you spend on your phone, computer, or watching television. Try to make exercise a social activity, or a way of having fun with friends.

Summary: Understand the physical and emotional changes you’re going through. Eat right. Learn to cope with stress and manage your emotions. Get plenty of sleep. Exercise and stay in shape.


Note that they may be stuck together. Pour a little of the kombucha on them and cover the bowl to keep them protected. Optionally, fill it all the way to the top. If you do not, then it will take forever to get fizzy. If there isn't enough, you can either get smaller containers. Or, if there's just a slight gap,  fill the rest with juice or more tea. Use only a small amount, or else you risk watering down the tea. Leave about 10% of old tea in the glass jar as starter tea to start a new batch of kombucha. Begin the cycle again: Pour in freshly brewed tea, put the culture back in, cover, etc.  You may use each layer of culture to make a new batch of tea; some recommend using the new layer of culture and discarding the old one. It is not necessary to put both layers of culture back into a single new batch; one will suffice. Every fermentation cycle creates a new child from the mother. So once you have fermented your first batch you will now have two mothers, one from the original mother, and one from the new child. This multiplication will occur for every subsequent fermentation. Cap them loosely for safety, tightly for carbonation and let sit for about 2 - 5 days at room temperature. Kombucha is best enjoyed cold.
Summary: Gently remove mother and baby cultures with clean hands (and non-latex gloves if you have them) and set them in a clean bowl. Using a funnel, pour most of your finished tea into storage container(s). Cap your jug or bottles of finished kombucha. Refrigerate.
