Amsterdam & inspiration

Dear friends,

Yesterday was a great day. I was cycling together with my dear friend Laura in a really tiny village (there was just one shop!), when we saw a sign. The sign said: Amsterdam. It wasn't that far from where we were, so we just started cycling there. Never with the intention to really go in to the centre of Amsterdam. But before we knew, we were already there! With just enough money to buy us a delicious McFlurry (:
And tomorrow I've to make an exam, so today was a really boring learning day.

So you get it: I didn't bake cupcakes (great disappointment to my parents x).

But I found you some inspiration. I love the Chanel-cupcakes, they're so fashionable!

Or what about this cute breakfast-cupcake, isn't it cute?

Simple, but delicious

Dear friends,

Sometimes there's this little problem I have:
I would love to bake cupcakes and decorate them, but I don't have anything at home to make them look glamourous.
Today was one of these days, so I just dropped a blob cherry-marmelade.
Looks delicious, doesn't it?

Valentine's day

Happy valentine's day ♥

Chocolate-shock!

Dear friends,

Chocolate chocolate chocolate!

I really loooove it.
I made chocolate-cake, that's perfect on its own...
But for me there will never be enough chocolate.
So I mixed:

• Butter
• Cacoa
• Icing sugar

I put a lot of this chocolatefrosting on every cupcake.
It was so super smooth.
Then I thought the cupcakes could use some sparkle.
So I used tiny silver- and goldpearls.

I had been iceskating all day long.
So it was great to get home to see a perfect chocolatecake waiting for me.
This was the perfect ending of my weekend!

Are you already hungry? (:

The smell of chocolate-cake

There are lovely chocolate-cupcakes in the oven right now & it smells sooo good!

I cannot wait to get them out and decorate them.

I'll post a picture tomorrow.

Clafoutis

Dear friends,

This cupcake is inspired by the French clafoutis. It reminds me of a winterday with some snow.

Wikipedia:"Clafoutis, sometimes in Anglophone countries spelled clafouti, is a baked French dessert of black cherries arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. The clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar and served lukewarm."

I love the combination of sweet cake and warm cherries!

PS. Instead of cherries, you could also use: plums, prunes, apples, cranberries or blackberries.

Weekend!

Dear friends,

It's weeeeekend!
I'm certainly going to bake some cupcakes.
And you, what are you going to do?

Raspberry-coco cupcakes

Dear friends,

This weekend I had a little movie-party at my place with some friends.

So I decided to surprise my friends with some cute coco-cupcakes with raspberry-icing.

The cake was delicious and really fresh because of the greated coconut I added.

And the combination wit the raspberry-icing was really nice.

But it didn't look that great, haha.

Watch it yourself below:

I was happy to give my friends these cupcakes while it was dark (:

So although the appearance wasn't what I had in mind, the taste was great.

The icing:

• Icing sugar
• Raspberry-lemonade

Oooowh, I love the silver sprinkles.
It will make everything look glamourous!

Sweet lemon cupcakes

Dear friends,

This cupcake is a delicious mix of sweet and sourish.
The very first thing you taste is the really sourish lemon.
After that you taste the sweetness and softness of the cake.
This combination is lovely!

I just made normal cake.
You could add some lemonjuice to the dough to make it a little bit less sweet.

For the icing I mixed:

• Icing sugar
• A tiny little bit of water
• Lemonjuice

To add some more glamour to this cake, I used the rasp of a lemon to decorate my cupcakes.
But first, I let the rasp soak in sugarwater for two hours.

Enjoy the bitter sweetness!

Dinosaur-egg or chocolate cake?

Dear friends,

When you don't feel that great, the best medicine is chocolatecake.

When you feel great, the best thing to celebrate it with, is chocolatecake.
