Chocolate x Mint

Heee (:

I found this picture somewhere on my computer. And I really wanted to share it with you. I made this cupcake last summer when I came back from France. In France you can buy green lemonade, tasting like mint. So when I mixed it with some butter and icing sugar, it looked so great. The combination chocolate-mint is also awesome. It doesn't only look great, it also tastes delicious. 

So, maybe when I go back to France this summer, I'll buy green lemonade. 'Cause I really would love to make these cupcakes, or in a different style, again!

Coffee cupcakes

Heeee! 

You wanna get to know my idea of baking today? Grabbing a pack of brownies and then making my own delicious cappuccino-frosting hahaha (:
I love holidays, I just have the time for everything I would love to do. So this morning I woke up with the idea that I would like to bake cupcakes. Because... it's such a long time ago I baked cupcakes. So I foldered trough some bakingbooks to get some inspiration. And then I just started to follow my own plan (:

This was kinda my idea of baking today: grab a pack of browniemix, mix the powder with water and... Yeahh ready: brownies. Hahahahah, that's it. But of course I wanted to make it me and I wanted to make it look cute. This is what I did for the frosting/cream:

1. Melt 30 gr butter (in the microwave, or in a pan),
2. Mix 1,5 tablespoon trough the melted butter,
3. Solve 2 tablespoons of coffepowder in the hot mix,
4. Then mix it all with 100 gr of icing sugar and make it a smooth cream.

The mix of airy brownies and the smooth cream is amazing, so delicious. So is the combination of coffee and chocolate.

Ps. Queensday was awesome. I went to the city with a few friends, we had a lot of fun. We were wearing orange of course. Toghether with my friend Mylène we had orange knee hihg socks. Hahaha, a lot of people in the city said: "Ohh, gosh, look those sock" Hahhaa, really, I loved it. Everywhere was music, so it was kinda partyhardy (: I wished it was queensday again!



About frostings



Dear friends,


A frosting is the simplest option for making a cupcake look so supersweet.
The only things you really need are butter and sugar.
You will get the smoothest mix with icing sugar.
But it's also possible with crystal sugar.
Then you should spend some more time mixing it until everyting is blended well.
The frosting you can see in the picture is made from:

• Butter
• Icing sugar
• Cinnamon

I mixed all the ingredients in a bowl and put the cream in a pastry bag.
The finishing touch was a touch of cinnamon.
I love the result, it looks so princess-like!

Cappuccino-frosting

Dear friends,

I love cappuccino, and I love cupcakes.
So I thought to myself; "Why shouldn't I mix these two things?"
For the cake itself you could use anything: normal cake or some other cake-mix.
The frosting is very easy and really delicious.

Ingredients:

• Butter
• Instant cappuccino powder
• Suger

Mix these things and create a smooth cream.
You can add the suger and powder as much as you like.

It's delicious to serve it with a cup of coffee!
