the dutch (aka my people), will always be the best at making me smile. not being random, this ad is from bk netherlands.
side note: one of the best chicken burgers i’ve ever had was at a mcdonalds in amsterdam. chicken mystic (or mythic, the jury is still out on our memories). dee-lish.

frosted coffee cupcakes.
we have finally learnt that not many things makes us feel better than baking. and better still when they come out as attractive as these do.
the recipe is straight out of the last success, except when it was time to add the milk, we mixed in some instant coffee (from starbucks). it not only gave it the kick up the cake it needed but also helped cut down on sweetness.
frosting as always is just some butter, like double as much icing sugar, a bit of vanilla essence and pinch of salt. we recently invested $7 whole dollars for an electric mixer from the fine line of products at walmart. this saved our arms from lodging a complaint with their union reps.
ALSO, THEY’RE FUCKING DELICIOUS. try it.

white (but really orange) cake with chocolate frosting.
it’s super simple if you’ve got four good arms for some hella mixing. we found that it didn’t have quite the kick we want from a cake. looking into adding some coffee or nuts next time around.
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature and soft)
- 2 eggs at room temperature also
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 and 1/4 cup flour
- 1 and 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
mix the butter and sugar until your body hates you (3 minutes is my limit). beat the eggs in one at a time. add the vanilla (and any food colouring is optional. we prefer ORANJE.)
stir in the flour with the baking powder and slowly slowly add to the wet mixture. when it’s pretty much mixed in*, add the milk so that it’s gets to that comfortably thick but not crazy thick batter level.
pour into one 9 inch baking pan. times everything by two if you want a layer cake, but that’s obvious. don’t be simple, butter the pan before and all that junk. oven at 350 for 25 minutes. that is it.
*a note on over-mixing: IF ANYONE KNOWS THE FUCK THAT MEANS PLEASE DROP ME A HINT.

yellow butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting.
recipe for cupcake from here. though the measurements gave us double the number mini-cupcakes, this is perhaps the best recipe we’ve followed to date. they are scrumptious.
frosting is but butter whipped to hell and back, icing sugar, vanilla extract and melted chocolate. i’ve heard told that adding a pinch of salt cuts back on the sickening sweetness. (humble-brag alert: we are without electric mixers, so you’re looking at the delumptious results of four tired and toned arms.)
this being our first attempt at artsy frosting, they’re a little wibbly wobbly. but give us time and an unlimited supply of cupcakes and we’ll show you just how we could…nom nom.

cakebabies: mini chocolate edition. no fancy business. standard recipe offa the internet.
but look at those colourful little buttons of love. they are perhaps the most adorable thing of food we have ever created. with the recent fortuitous acquisition of mini cupcake tray from a little place called walmart (they have a few branches, i hear), i look forward to making and nom nommming more chubbsywubbsy cakebabies often. almost too often.
they make me so happy that i’m starting to think these feelings for food is not normal.

something went wrong for this batch of muffins. it’s like eating chocolate chip rubber tires.
so on that occassion i’m starting a new website of baking fails called DO NOT FOLLOW THIS RECIPE*.
so DO NOT FOLLOW THIS RECIPE below unless you’re into those lucy lui muffins of death from that first funny charlie’s angels movie.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
we added chocolate chips and mushed banana just before mixing the wet and dry things. and then a quick crumble on top before throwing it in the oven. but what’s the point of telling you that, it was all terrible anyway. don’t do this.
*i lie.

MAGGI NOOooooDLES. if you’ve never had the privilege of experiencing this (or similar) bowl of maggi goodness, then you have never known truly what soft noodles and artificial flavours have to offer.
stay tuned for my post: an ode to mag, a seventeen stanza-ed (tony danza-ed) epic poem. (not really, mostly because my rhyming game is set at zero. but the noodles are still awes.)
EDIT: A THOUSAND APOLOGIES. the only excuse i have for the regrettable error (‘tis MAGGI not MAGGIE, sorry) is that a steaming bowl of it was staring right at me during the tumble post creation. it’s a dire miracle that i formed complete sentences and didn’t just present a series of glutteral grunts and moans under the photo.

leaguerulesfrownupon asked: I was a beekeeper in college to train them for animal learning projects. We had a platform with sugar water they would land on. One day I went out there to catch a bee and there was a wasp that was going around and biting the heads off the bees.
