Coconut Cupcakes

Gosh! Its been a while since my last post. Last week been a bit busy for me. My little puhi puhi (new nickname for my daughter) was sick, she was teething. Her 2 upper teeth was growing and she got fever for 4 days. So basically I couldn't do anything. Not even do grocery shopping. So me and my husband had to survive with what we have in the fridge, and buy some other stuffs in the nearest shop.

But thank God she's ok now. Because I really don't like to see her just laying down, no energy and looking very ill. So, yesterday I made some cupcakes (new recipe). Coconut cupcake with cream cheese frosting (order now! lol) :p

In the recipe it says it'll make for 20 cupcakes. So I just made half of the recipe. At the end I got 16 cupcakes!!! Oh wow!!!

Since 16 cupcakes a bit too much for my husband, I decided to give some to my friend today. She's having a name giving party for her new born baby girl.

Happy sunday everyone!

New Family In The Menu!!!

Yaaaaaaaay!!! Now we have new family member in the menu. Macarons!

I made them yesterday, chocolate with chocolate ganache and lemon with lemon buttercream. You can now order them as well for your birthday party, wedding or any other occasions :)

But only those two flavours for now, because before I put something in the menu, I have to try it first. So, please be patient until I put more flavours in macaron section :)

Kitchen War?

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. This kind of mess you will get when you have a big project like I had last weekend. As you know, I joined a contest of cupcakes here in Sweden. So I made a bunch of cupcakes (standard and mini) to be decorated. And I had some ideas for them. I mean it when I say some :p

So I split them into (I dunno how many) groups / themes.

I know, scary right?

As you can see there I have all my decorating stuffs, and if you notice the small vase (its actually a cup :D) with flowers in it, that was my mini cupcakes bouquet. And I use that egg box as my flower forms. Very cheap but effective :p

It took me 2 days to decorate all the cupcakes. Almost got sick of them, and because my husband is a bit stingy with sweets, he didn't want to share all cupcakes I made with friends and neighbours. Now he still working to finish all of them (I help him a bit. lol) :p

So, thats all I can report from my working space (aka lonely dinning table in the corner of the kitchen that we never use for eating) last weekend. Don't be scared to come back again ^.^

Miss Cupcake

Miss cupcake is a contest from Dr.Oetker here in Sweden. And this is also my very first cupcake / cake competition since I have that hobby obsession in cake decorating. I think this kind of thing is good for a beginner like me. Because the prize is pushing my creativity and skill more :p

But as usual, I doubt it that I'll get the first place. There are lots of pretty cupcakes there in the competition already. But still, I want to join it anyway, beside it doesn't hurt if I got the first prize right? ;)

So below is my cupcakes that I put in the competition. And you can click the link to give vote for my cupcakes :)

Happy Sunday!

Random post about my family

What is the first thing that came out from your mind when you hear a word "family"?

Well, for me family means everything. I love my family a bit too much. But thats ok, its not a crime to love your family too much :p

Last sunday, I was in a "model mood". So, I decided to take a family picture (I always want to have a family picture hanging on the wall). We dressed up in white to make it nice, clean and simple.

As you can see there, that is my husband and my daughter. Apparently my daughter interested more in my necklace than the camera. From hundreds pictures, not even one picture when she's looking to the camera :p

Those two people now the most important ones for me. Everything I do, only for them. And I love them a looooooot :)
