hi,

today i come to you dressed in my floral apron. why do you ask? i've been going about this idea in my head that i could show you some of my baking. those who know me in real life for sure noticed my sweet tooth and kitchen 'talents', i like to give treats as presents, that sort of thing. i've heard that they are quite good and there are even some people who are willing to pay me to do that... but let's not get ahead of ourselves,

today, for absolutely free, i'll show you my recipe for cocoa cupcakes.

what you'll need

- 40g of cocoa powder (i use m&s brand)
- 100ml of milk
- 2 eggs
- 80ml of sunflower seed oil
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 200g of caster sugar
- 100g of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 1/2 tsp of baking soda

- 12 piece cupcake tin
- cupcake liners
- 2 bowls
and some other stuff

let's get down to business

1. get all the ingredients to room temperature and heat up your oven to 180* C
2. heat up the milk and slowly start adding the cocoa powder, try to not get any lumps because later on it's a pain
3. measure out all of your 'wet' ingredients (eggs, oil, vanilla, sugar) and mix
4. once the cocoa mixture is ready, let it cool down and mix it in

5. measure out the 'dry' stuff (flour, soda, baking powder) and mix

6. add the dry to the wet, use a whisk, easy-peasy

7. liners to the tin! hop! fill'em up! (get a cup with a pourer, trust me)

8. burn babies, burn (or at least rise, 23-25 minutes are perfect, check with a stick)

let cool and enjoy!

or

...

if you want

- 100g of softened butter

- 200g of powdered sugar

- as many sprinkles etc. as you want! or fresh fruit!

beat the butter and sugar until smooth (use a stand mixer or prepare for a long process)

decorate as you want! here are some of mine:

i just have another diy for you. i know it should be fashion related but i don't really care. :)

here is what you are going to need:

plus some thick paper to cut a...

then you just grab some...

and cut the triangles. i've cut a lot more than i needed but used them for a next one. better too many than not enough, eh?

after you cut them, just stick them in your own order onto the ribbon. 

next you just need to fold it and it...

leave it overnight and there you have it.

finished and dried thing:

finial step is to stick it wherever you want.

pretty cool, huh?

for me it just adds a lot more colour and funkiness to my room. and it's always nice to look at something you made yourself. 

even though it's very simple, it's a lot of fun. you can make it in different colours with your friends. 

i think i'll even use something like that to make 'happy birthday' flags in september :)

in other news:

i finished my secret project, and as i probably forgot to mention earlier the effects will be here all september, well at least till my birthday. 

next week i'll be in london, yey!

there is another post in writing, look forward.

love you,

xoxo
