Pistachio Rosewater Cupcakes!!!

Yes! More cupcakes from my cupcake book! While I was visiting family I made Pistachio Rosewater Cupcakes and they were sooo good! The batter was very soft but also a tiny bit  crunchy because of the pistachios and the rosewater was soo good.(as I think you know, I love rosewater). Sorry, no pictures.

BUT I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND THOSE CUPCAKES!

Sorry!!

Hey everyone! First of all, I’m really sorry I haven’t posted anything in forever! I mean, hardly anyone reads this blog so I’m not that sorry, but still sorry. I’ve been busy this summer with a bunch of different stuff such as visiting family and relaxing. 🙂 Anyways…hope that your summers are going well!

Bye!

“7” Layer Bars.

I recently made some 7 layer bars from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. They’re actually called Magical Coconut Cookie Bars, but ya know. They’re 7 layer bars. But ever since I made them, I’ve been wondering-are most 7 layer bars actually 7 layers? The ones I made were only 4 layers, graham cracker, chocolate, coconut, and walnuts. I think it’s a bit deceptive to classify this type of bar as 7 layer bars. But anyway, aren’t I sad? Spending my time thinking about the number of layers in a 7 layer bar..

By the way this was supposed to be published a long time ago but I guess I saved it as  draft… I know I’m annoying…sorry.

Surprise Me..

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that WordPress just came out with this new thing called Surprise Me and if you enable it then fun surprising things are supposed to happen with your blog… A little nervous but I checked it. I think it’s only for the person whose blog it is(not the readers of the blog) but just in case, if anything freaky happens with my blog…not my fault..exactly.

Coconut Lime Cupcakes!!!

First of all, sorry, but I wrote this post a while ago but couldn’t publish it because I wasn’t on the computer with the cupcakes pic…anyway, here it is:

Coconut Lime Cupcake!!

Hi! So remember a really long time ago I said I was going to make Coconut Lime cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World but didn’t have coconut extract? Weeeeelll I found some!!! Yay!! So I made some today with a friend and she will be a special guest star!(not the same friend who was a special guest star before and made the Chocolate Cherry cupcakes with me..) Here she is to say a few words about the cupcakes and stuff!!

They were so yummy!! they were bbbeeeeaaaauuuttttiiifffffuuulll!(Because of me!! Just kidding) We ate them almost silently, which means we were satisfied and very happy. DELICIOUS!!!

Yes…that was my friend.. But anyway, the actual cupcakes are coconut with a hint of lime and the frosting is like a lime buttercream. SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!! And then they’re rolled in coconut flakes and then a slice of lime on top… as you can see from the picture. I’m having Portobello mushroom burgers for dinner. Better than regular burgers. 🙂 Bye!!

Easter

Hey everyone! Happy Easter if you celebrate Easter. If you don’t, then well..not happy Easter. For my Easter I ate almost nothing but sweets(the exception was my late lunch/early dinner of an Asian noodle soup with tofu and carrots and mushrooms and noodles and all sorts of stuff.) Eating like that was not a very good idea and I will not be doing it again.  I tried to detoxify by having some green tea and then later a drink that is mint and lavender steeped in water and then sweetened with white grape juice and some lime and some other stuff. Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll be feeling a little bit more normal.. I also saw the movie The Secret of Kells which is an independently done animation movie and the animation is done all by hand, no computers or anything. It’s about the Irish Book of Kells and a little boy. The movie was so incredibly beautiful, like the kind of thing when you think to yourself: “How can someone have done this by hand?!” because it’s so intricate and beautiful and it’s an animation movie so woah! But at the same time you know that something like that can’t be done on a computer. Go see it if it’s playing near you! Happy Easter or not! Oh by the way I made vanilla cupcakes with chocolate icing yesterday yum yum  uhhhh..too much unhealthiness…. Bye!

Vegan Shortbread

I made some shortbread!! It was supposed to be rosewater shortbread(if you have never tried rosewater then go get some) but the recipe called for too little and I couldn’t taste the rosewater. 😦 So I just dipped the shortbread in rosewater. It was pretty good. What was most impressive is that shortbread is all about butter, and, the recipe is from Vegan Cookies Invade your Cookie Jar so obviously there was no butter in it. But, somehow it tasted pretty buttery. Bye!

Weirdness..

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I actually made those orange chocolate cupcakes and wrote a post about them quite a while ago, but somehow when I wrote it, it didn’t get published but instead went to my drafts folder, and I just realized it. Sorry about that!!

Orange Chocolate Cupcakes

Hooray hooray!! I made some more cupcakes!!! They were orange cupcakes with a little bit of orange pudding inside (I will go on to explain why it is only a little..) and for the top, a thin layer of orange marmalade and a layer of chocolate ganache on top of that. Personally, I am a chocolate orange lover so I really really loved these cupcakes. Now, the assembling part was a little difficult… To get the pudding inside, I was supposed to poke holes in the top of the cupcakes with my fingers then squeeze the pudding inside but it was really hard because the pudding wasn’t dropping all the way inside the cupcake, so only a little pudding was getting in there. So I thought to turn the cupcakes upside down and also do holes on the bottom. In the end, there still wasn’t very much pudding but it added a really nice texture inside to contrast the cake part. CHOMP!

Yay!

Yay!! Remember how I wrote the post about not being able to visit the farm animal sanctuary? Well…I actually will be!! It’s too complicated/I’m too lazy to explain why, but I will. A different place, but a farm animal sanctuary all the same! 🙂
