Wow, I haven’t done this in a while! I missed writing about my Favourite Things! ^^
I am no kitchen princess. There, I said it. I once managed to ruin a Sacher Torte by misreading the recipe (I put in way too much water) and the batter turned into what ressembled a filmset for a movie that takes place in a rotting swamp. Yes, it looked that terrible! Since that incident I didn’t want to bake anymore, feeling so ashamed for misreading the instructions and especially the amount of water. But somehow, a little while ago, I turned a switch in my head. All the beautiful (cup)cake pictures that appeared in front of me on Tumblr convinced me to try it again!
I’m glad I did, since I discovered I love decorating cakes and cupcakes! For my birthday in December I made cupcakes for the first time and they turned out pretty good! I bought two boxes with pre-made batter for cupcakes and after they were done, I decorated them with self-made roses and flowers. Since then I’ve also decorated three cakes: one for Christmas (white with green and red stars and little white pearls around them), one for Spring (green with yellow and pink flowers and chocolate thingies) and one for fun (it had a water theme). They didn’t only look cute, they also tasted great! ^^
I would love to make more cupcakes in the future, like the one in the picture. I haven’t tried that yet, but I really want to! I also want to try more recipes from cookbooks. Maybe I’ll finally get better at cooking? ^^
some while ago, I did cupcakes that looked like the one in the picture :D
ReplyDeleteBut it was a back mix ^.^v
Really? =D Was it hard to do?
DeleteCupcakes are so fun to make! You know what's really good? Cut the cupcake in half and fill it with whipped cream and fresh strawberries (or golden raspberries).
ReplyDeleteIf you want to try something really easy (like cake mix cupcake easy), you can take a 10 count can of those pre-mixed and shaped biscuits and flatten them out a bit, and stretch each one over a big marshmallow. Then coat them with a mixture of sugar and cinnomon and put them in a glass pie pan, a few inches apart. They only need 5-9 minutes depending on how gooey you like things in a 350 degree oven. Super easy and really yummy!
Ooooh, that first idea sounds PERFECT!
DeleteI needed to read the second one like three times before I understood it. XD Damn my English knowledge! XD I love anything marhsmallowy, so it sounds great! =D
I'm glad you didn't let your first bad experience stop you! Baking is lots of fun! Try checking out a bunch of baking blogs to get awesome ideas and find more excuses to decorate :D

DeleteBaking is fun so it's great you decided to try once again :) I love cupcakes, I recently bought a cookbook with cupcake recipes - too bad I don't have time to try any, but when I come home on holidays I'll surely bake some. This one in photo is truly amazing *__*
ReplyDeleteAwww, I hope you'll find some time soon. ^^ It is, right? *_*
DeleteBaking is so much fun! I've never tried cupcakes before, but now I'm tempted. Lol.
