Thankful for Macaroons :)

Last week I took a macaroon class with Richard :) This is what I brought home: It's macaroons filled with nutella. YUM. (Oh, they're all the same flavor, I just add some colorings for fun :) Oh and the blue ones have coffee sprinkled on top of it :)

Apparently, my bf loves this new creation so much. He said it's the best thing I ever made, hands down (beats all the cakes, bars, cookies, and cupcakes) :) and munched everything away.(All of these photos were taken before he got the chance to eat everything) :)
The next day, we went to whole foods (supermarket) to get some stuff. And there was some macaroons for sale (expensive too! $1 per small macaroons, tsk tsk). My bf wants some, (and he said: hey, you have to compare yours and the competitors) I said fine, and we bought a couple. He dig right into it in the car, and said: "Yours is way better". (and begged me to make some later that day) Hahaha... that made my day :)

So this thanksgiving I'm thankful for macaroons, among other things ;)

Mini chocolate chip cupcakes

My classmate Coleen is very-very nice. She scanned me over 50 pages (YES, Five-zero) worth of materials for my final project. It's extremely helpful for me and she was super nice about it.

Naturally I felt like I should make her something :) So I did: 1 dozen mini chocolate chip cupcakes. This is how they look plain.

Of course, no cupcake is complete without any icing (or sprinkles!) So we top it off with chocolate buttercream and pretty colorful sprinkles :)
Thanks again Colleen! Hope you like these! :D

Mini Quarter Birthday Cake :)

Once again, it's my bf birthday. Two years ago, I tried this. *wincing in pain* Last year cake was more successful. And this year? :D

It's his 25th birthday, so I made a really small cake, just a quarter, actually :) *quarter century, get it? :P* Now with that shape I can only think of a block of cheese. Here's the back view.

Of course, since he's a mouse, (chinese zodiac - so am I) there should be a tiny mouse peeking out from the cheese, right? :D Here's the top view.

My bf actually joked that the mouse is sinking into the cheese. Heh heh. It kinda does :P

Happy birthday, boyfriend!!! Say Cheese! :D

Shoe and Roses for P

Hehey it's November! 1 year ago this happened. This year... a little disaster happened too. :P

So it's my sis P birthday. She like shoes - she like the color red. And this is what the cake looks like.

Yeaaa.... I'm not happy with it either. I've been sick the past couple of days and I think it shows on the cake :( It's messy and not smooth and.. ugh... frustrating...:(... well the birthday girl like it, so I feel a little better :P Here's the back view of the shoe: it's based on Louboutin shoe, hence the red heel.

Anyways, I also made some cupcakes for the occasion. 21 in fact, since she's 21 years old :)

Red Velvet cupcakes with buttercream icing, sprinkled with red sugar :) Here's a close up :)

Happy Birthday sis! *and sorry bout the cake... ahaha*
