EPF Message from Gary the Gadget Guy (February 6, 2014)

We have a new message from Gary the Gadget Guy on our Spy Phones:

Our trip to the past was a success! The Forest changed but didn't have any negative effects. We'll need to observe the Iceberg for changes still.

Recipe: Sharlotka Cake

To help celebrate the recent release of Club Penguin in Russian, make a Sharlotka cake to celebrate!

You Will Need:
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • Bundt pan or a 9x9 baking dish
  • Spatula
  • Cooking spray or butter
  • Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 granny smith apples
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 eggs
Gluten Free Ingredients
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 granny smith apples
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup rice flower
  • 1/2 tsp xantham gum
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 eggs
Instructions
  1. Start by peeling, coring, and cutting up the apples into 1 inch pieces
  2. Place them into a big bowl and sprinkle cinnamon over the top
  3. Mix the apples and cinnamon until all the apples have a light coating
  4. Preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C)
  5. In another bowl beat the eggs
  6. Add in the sugar and mix until all the sugar is dissolved
  7. Mix in the vanilla
  8. Add in a pinch of salt
  9. Sift in the flour and stir until everything is combined (It should look like pancake mix!) Note: if you're using rice flour, combine your flour and xantham gum together before adding it into the wet ingredients.
  10. Lightly grease a baking dish
  11. Scoop a little bit of the cake mix into the dish
  12. Add all the apples
  13. Pour the rest of the cake mix over the apples
  14. Let the mix settle in between all the apple pieces
  15. Cook for 30-40 minutes
  16. You can check if your cake is done by inserting a toothpick into the cake, if it comes out clean, you're done!
  17. If you used a Bundt pan, use a spatula to pull the cake away from the sides of the pan
  18. Let cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan (ask an adult for help with this)
Sounds delicious!

Club Penguin Times Issue #433 - The Fair's Big Return!

Check out this week's issue of the Club Penguin Times:

THE FAIR'S BIG RETURN!
"Put your clown costumes away!" -Rookie

By Aunt Arctic - Hello everyone! I'm happy to report the Fair is returning this month. The Club Penguin Times has the scoop! The Fair has always been a lively event in Club Penguin. It's one of our best traditions!

Rockhopper loves being the center of attention at the Fair, but he's gone off in search of lost treasure. So Rookie said he "can't wait" to help out. As nothing went horribly wrong at the last Fair, he's been allowed to organize this one too.

He even has a catalog he wants to order from... "There will be sandwiches, and squids, and wheels, and mermaids." "But you won't see a clown anywhere. This is a CLOWN FREE party!"

Let's hope this fair goes splendidly.

NEWSFLASH
Mysterious mist covers the Wilds. Be careful near the Ski Village.

FAREWELL TO PREHISTORIC
We'll miss the friends, the pets, maybe not the smell...

By Gary--Congratulations everyone! Thanks to your efforts and egg handling skills, rescued the dino puffles! Garugg the Ugg Ugg told me to say "OOGA BOOGA" to all of you. I believe he means, "Thank you!" Archie and I said goodbye to Garugg and the other caveguins. I wish we could stay in the past, but time travel is fraught with danger!

Don't worry, we still accomplished a great deal. The dino puffles are happily living in the past and the present. For now, we're unable to access more eggs, but who knows when we'll see them again.

UPCOMING EVENTS
On now! Penguin Style--Pirates, Cowboys, Mermaids, and more!

Feb. 13 Furniture & Igloo Catalog
Deck out your igloo like a carnival, circus, or fair!

Feb. 20 The Fair
All your favorite games return in the Fair!

Find the collectible pin! Hidden now until February 19.
Next pin hidden: February 20-March 5

New Pin: Pixel Puffle Pin (spoilers!)

We have a new Pin on the Island this week, and it's called the Pixel Puffle Pin!

Club Penguin Blog: Introducing... Daffo Doodles!

Here's a message from Daffodaily5:
Hiya!
Earlier, I was having a little nosey through some of your Fan Art submissions and I thought, you guys are really talented, we should start a new 'thing' on the blog! So, I present to you... Daffo Doodles! This is all about showcasing your brill creativity! As you can see, my drawing skills aren't exactly the best, but I had so much fun making it and that's what matters most!
Each time I do a Daffo Doodles post, I'll announce a different theme that I'd like YOU guys to choose! But to get things going, I'll start this week. It's time to embrace the epic theme of... Daffo the Superhero! Make sure you write "Daffo Doodles!" in your picture somewhere, and change the name of the file on your computer to the same. We'll feature the best ones in a few weeks! 
Send your Doodles to me by uploading them to the Fan Art section under Fun Stuff. I can't wait to see them all! Don't forget to comment below with your ideas for the next theme! Happy Doodling!
Byeee!

Rate your favorite episode by clicking on the Stars in the top-right hand corner.... We want to see which episode is your favorite so far!
In other news... It's a big update for the Club Penguin Team tonight. They're launching a new language -- Russian! That's a BIG deal, too...

Wish us luck!
And until next time... Waddle on!
