I baked this batch of cupcakes at the end of May, it's been that long since I last updated. Mainly due to work, and also some weird personal stuff. Whatever. I made these for a friend's birthday, actually two friends (hehe, I'm sorry, I swear you're both special) who had parties on the same day. … Continue reading Butter Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
I've got to work on my self-restraint. Honestly. Maybe I'll start tomorrow. After frosting my White Roses cake, I found myself with quite a bit of frosting still left on my hands... and I figured... why the hell not bake cupcakes to just use it up?? It would be like making mini versions of the … Continue reading Cupcake Mania
What do you get when you combine a simple white cake with fluffy lemon buttercream frosting?Cellulite.LOL just kidding (but not really), you get a cake, silly!During the week, I find myself inexorably drawn towards cooking sites and the cooking sections of the bookstores.

It's my brother's 10th birthday tomorrow, but like I was told recently "You don't need an excuse, Nabs." So I'm going to say this upfront, as much as I love this kid and love spoiling him with sweets, I baked a cake today for my own satisfaction and not really for him.

Here's mine:2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour1 tsp baking soda1 tsp salt1 cup butter … Continue reading Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie
I faked cupcakes today! This is one of the easiest, and possibly tastiest recipes you could ever try. I got this from Omnomicon's Vintage Recipes, it's an unconventional "ice-cream cake" where you just add softened ice-cream to a cake mix! I love making cake from scratch, but then again, there are days when you just … Continue reading Chocolate Raspberry Ice-Cream Cupcakes
I've got a whole cupboard full of old biscuit tins, but this is one of my favourite ones:Due to high demand from friends and family, I whipped up another batch of those oatmeal raisin cookies I shared before. This batch turned out better, probably thanks to the fact that I made them fatter! I've been … Continue reading Biscuit Tins
I recently tried my hand at baking cookies, and so I finally decided to give my favourite cookies a shot. Raisin oatmeal cookies! I used to just buy store-bought cookies (ie Famous Amos) but a colleague told me a horror story of how she saw a worker carrying a shipment of those cookies dropped a … Continue reading Raisin Oatmeal Cookies
A crocheted coffee sleeve! Inspired by The Cozy Project on Etsy.I wish I can say that I used a pattern, but really I was just winging it. Had a Starbucks Grande size paper cup on hand, and with every completed circle, I had a "fitting" to ensure it went well.As for the heart, I used … Continue reading Crocheted Coffee Cup Sleeve
