lovely lavender-licious cupcakes! 2008-07-17 07:58:00 i love lavender...i have always, always found it so incredibly relaxing. i love a few drops sprinkled on my pillow to help me sleep at night, i love lavender body cream, i love english lavender perfume every so often sprayed in my wardrobe and delicately scenting my clothes. lavender is pure goodness, uninterrupted serenity, the height of calmness and peace. in making these cupcakes

the countdown to my first blogoversary... 2008-07-16 05:39:00 i've just found the most fabulous widget...a countdown for your blog's 'blogoversary' and do you see, do you see? mine is coming very, very soon - 12 days to be precise. so plans are already in the making on how i will be celebrating cupcake blogging for a whole year! can't say too much now, but it definitely won't be all about me in the kitchen...so tick off those days and stay tuned...meanwhile
lavender sugar in the making... 2008-07-16 05:03:00 i have wanted to make lavender sugar for ages now and just recently got round to picking some fresh lavender growing in the garden and popping it into a cup of sugar. now here is where the dilemma starts...after searching through various recipes for making
lavender sugar i see there are quite a few alternatives. some recipes just call for letting the oils of the lavender infuse into the sugar and
chinese five spice chocolate loaf cake 2008-07-13 15:40:00 chinese five spice powder is amazing! i mean the spicy aromatic smell of it is already enough to warm the cockles of your heart, no mind actually adding it to your food. it's a combination of fennel, star anise, cinnamon, black pepper and cloves. well this one is! i've seen other combinations where the black pepper is replaced with cardamom. anyway, i've seen it paired with chocolate once or twice
an ever so pink kinda distraction... 2008-07-12 05:37:00 oh, what to do when you have a fabulous new 'bubblegum pink' laptop? spend hours upon hours exploring and investigating and pressing all the wrong buttons and probably forever tainting it's virgin pristine condition, of course! yes, oh yes, sad but true...i have been completely neglecting cupcakes for my new toy. shame on me, i know but it's just too pink to resist!when i opened the box and my bro Read more:distraction
no bake fudge biscuits 2008-08-07 02:13:00 so what does one do when one cannot bake...one doesn't bake but instead scours the internet for recipes that involve 'no baking' and what a plethora of recipes there are out there! i wanted to start with something simple, but yet that would have the maximum enjoyment factor and seriously taste good! so i went with a no bake fudge
biscuit recipe. ok so naturally it was easy...no prizes for getting
cupcake-shaped brioche! 2008-08-06 00:46:00 a new-found friend followed a recommendation for a restaurant in Sanur and as a 'thank you' for a most enjoyable dinner there, brought me back a gift. And you know what's weird, she had no idea i am a cupcake freak, but guess what she brought me? some cupcake-shaped brioche! they are too cute for words and were absolutely deliciously divine. soft and buttery, and to make it all so much more sinful
more indonesian kue... 2008-08-05 04:10:00 the fun and deliciousness continues with more indonesian kue...and again a combination of sweet and savoury for you to inspect. someone asked me today whether i preferred the sweet or savoury kue and to be honest it is a really hard choice. both in my humble opinion, are equally enjoyable and cover a different taste bud...first up we have kroket. this is a lovely potato cake type of kue that has s
little cakes - indonesian style 2008-08-04 03:44:00 i am fascinated by the whole aspect of indonesian 'kue' here. kue is the word for cake in bahasa indonesia - the language spoken here and it encompasses a vast array of cakes, from your regular kind of birthday-type cake to the weird and wonderful, savoury and sweet, all shapes and sizes! so today i had the opportunity to get my fingers on some and thought i'd share with you how they eat cake on t Read more:little
a little cupcake caper! 2008-07-28 07:05:00 oh, i had such great plans for a huge blogoversary celebration - with dreams of tasting as many cupcakes as i could get my fingers on but alas, i did not get them on as many as i would have liked! the time flew by in singapore and with so many things to do, i missed out on testing all those cupcakes i wanted to. so, with a hint of regret, i share with you the ones that didn't get away. i visited t Read more:little
oreo cheesecake...still 'no baked'... but still good! 2008-08-19 06:11:00 a variation on a theme for you...this is similar to the previous post in that the basic cheesecake recipe is the same. the only difference - substitute the digestive biscuits for the oreos...and add a little more butter as the oreos are very dry and need more butter to keep them together and stop them from crumbling. make the cheesecake itself the same with the cream cheese, ricotta and honey and
no bake strawberry cheesecake 2008-08-10 08:11:00 so the 'no-bake' mission continues with gusto...and what's on the menu for today? well who can resist a bit of cheesecake now and again! i do love cheesecake and have tried a few flavours and variations in my time. so i found a no bake cheesecake recipe and thought i'd give it a go. the recipe again was pretty basic...you can't go too wrong. just cream cheese, ricotta, honey and some lemon rind (w
a caramel-icious surprise! 2008-08-25 22:55:00 i love surprises...and never more than when they come in the shape of something delightfully edible like these caramel
cinnamon cookies! they were left at the gate of my house yesterday all wrapped up in tin foil by Toby, one of the staff children residing on the campus and his one request was that i might put them on my blog...so how could i possibly disappoint and even more so after i tasted th
charming chocolate mulberry cupcakes! 2008-10-07 19:08:00 'here we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush..' except today we're going round the mulberry cupcake - the chocolate mulberry cupcake! i was given some mulberries to play around with and felt the tartness of the berries would work well in the smooth, richness of chocolate.mulberries are considered a kind of 'super food' because they are full of anthocyanins which are ed Read more:cupcakes
coconut spelt and wholewheat loaf cake 2008-10-07 01:47:00 ok, this was a serious venture into the unknown. an experiment into true healthiness. i have had next to no experience with spelt flour and pretty limited experience with wholewheat flour so this really was a journey into virgin territory. my friend who's kitchen i have been commandeering requested a healthy alternative to my loaf cake and who am i to refuse, i mean after all i am using their ove Read more:coconut
at long last...back in the kitchen with lemon chamomile cupcakes! 2008-10-05 17:46:00 lucky me, lucky me...i was invited to a close friend's place over a long weekend we had here and guess what? he has an oven. it was like christmas, easter, birthday and all the other yearly celebrations coming in one great thigh-slapping whammo of an extravaganza. i was ecstatic! and so i was given free-reign in the kitchen to create, bake, explore and just enjoy the feel of the soft flour, cold Read more:cupcakes
