Sweets for my sweet

First of all: 100 followers. Thanks so much! I honestly am so grateful to everyone of you!  ♥ 

And then, it really was time for me to make something sweet again. And because I still wanted to try out the mould my mother gave me, I decided to make sugar confectionary. No, gosh, this sounds awful. Let's just call it sweets hahaha. It so easy. Still a bit dazed by my Fudge Adventure, I decided not to make a lot, and just try it at first. Wasn't necessary, it's lovely!


Because it's such a fast recipe, I didn't have time to make pictures. Otherwise all the sugar would have got brown and bitter. 

You need:

• 100 gr christal sugar
• 6 tablespoons milk
• 100 gr icing sugar
• a drop almond/vanilla essence

You do:

1. Let the sugar melt in the milk until it's bubbling.
2. Get it of the stove and mix the icing sugar in it.
3. Now is also the time to add the almond/vanilla essence.
4. Pour the mix in the moulds and let it curdle.
5. Eat it! (:

Make sure you do this al very fast, before it's curdled. Then it's way too much work to get it out of the saucepan. Yeah, this is experience speaaking (:

And I'm gonna think of something to make them more special, 'cause now it's a bit like you're just eating sugar, not that bad, but anyway xd. Maybe chocolate, or brown sugar?


For now, this is it. Yesterday I had a great time with Doris. We spent our time in Haarlem, looking for vintageshops and other small unknown shops. After a few failed attemps, some shops didn't even exist any more hahaha, we found a nice vintageshop. And I bought really a cute brooch, which I'm gonna show another time. Then we lost ourselves in a Chinese bead-shop. Back at my place, we made pancakes. I loved it all!


Enjoy your last hours of the weekend! x Janna

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!
