Cupcake Recipes

Who doesn't love cupcakes? I can't imagine someone that doesn't. Whether you like something sweet or something salt... You can always find something you like. I know liking cupcakes is a bit obvious for a girl like me, but who cares? Anyway, I found Ming Makes Cupcakes over at Wish Wish Wish.

Wish Wish Wish is the blog of the 19 year old Carrie and I've followed this lovely blog for a while now. She mentioned Ming Makes Cupcakes in a recent post and I thought you'd like to hear about it. On the website you can find free cupcake recipes, perfect for a summer day.

I think both blogs are definitely worth looking at! Enjoy!

Brownies

We LOVE brownies. We thought you probably would like our favourite recipe for them. These brownies honestly never disappointed me. So here you go, a lovely recipe for the most amazing brownies!

Ingredients:
- 140 g Butter
- 4 Eggs
- 340 g Brown Sugar
- Salt
- 1 Thee spoon Vanilla Extract
- 75 g Cocoa powder 
- 140 g Flower 
- 150 g Chocolate (It doesn't really matter what kind of chocolate, your choice!)

Slowly melt the butter and let it cool down. Mix the eggs careful with the sugar until all chunks are gone. Mix the butter and the vanilla extract with the mixture of eggs and sugar. Sieve a little bit of salt, the cocoa powder and the flower. Mix this with the other ingredients. But mix very slowly and carefully, otherwise it turns into cake instead of brownies. Cut down the chocolate into little chunks. And add this to the mixture.

Heat the oven to 170 C. Pour the mixture into a pastry mold. Put your brownies in the oven for about 35 or 40 minutes.

Bon Appétit!

DIY 2010

DIY ToDoList 2010

2010 is going to be a year full of stress and changes. I'll have my exams and hopefully graduate. I'm going to move out of my parents house and start studying biology. I'm very excited, but also a little scared. Beside all of that I want to be creative and do fun things. So that's why I made this list. I got this idea from A Beautiful Mess. She made a DIY to do list. And so did I. A few DIY projects that I will do in 2010. I won't have time for it, but I'll make time for it, because it's amazing to do. And you'll hear all about it.

Make a piece of clothing. From scratch. Not that I've done this before. But I will.Make a collection of all the amazing recipes I tried. Nicely put together in a book.

Try out a huge part of my dad's old camera collection. Including polaroidcamera's. Can't wait.

Get creative with these bags. Add prints/fabrics/buttons/texts. (Not all at once of course.)

Make a huge painting. Something that isn't finished in a few seconds. Maybe a wallpainting. Or on a big canvas. I've always wanted to do that.Photograph and photograph and photograph. And do a lot of shoots together with Fleur. This photo is the result of one of our previous ones. Try new things, be creative and learn.

Make a video. It could be drawn, a music video, a stop motion. Who knows? I always wanted to do that. Look at these amazing little videos. Love them.

Wish me luck!
