Chocolate, Olive Oil + Sea Salt Cupcakes

Found this fantastic recipe at raspberri cupcakes. Super easy, and they are amazing!!

Baking Crazy!

Tiramisu, Chocolate Brownies, Honey Almond Slice, then Banana and Honey Loaf! If you want any of the recipes I have used, feel free to leave a comment or send me an email (: I've certainly baked my butt off this Winter Semester Break!

Iced VoVo Cake

Made this DELICIOUS 'Iced VoVo Cake' that I found on the 'Raspberri Cupcakes' blog. So cute and tastes amazing! The actual cake is a simple butter cake - super easy recipe - the icing is a bit tricky only because of melting the marshmallows (messy!). Definitely worth the mess and sticky washing up!

New Cards

New cards!!

(sorry about the sideways photo - I'm having some trouble with it and can't get it to post upright even though it's saved that way!)

Marry the Night

Here is my recent art journal pages. I love Lady Gaga's  'Marry the Night' lyrics, hence the black jewelled-up page. And I have a thing for paint swatches, which inspired two pages where I 9 colours on each - 9 blues and 9 pinks, each with decreasing intensity - and named each of them. Fun process!

Summer Break 2011-2012 Journal

Following much in the steps of Elisa Blaha, I'm on my way to creating a Summer Journal to collect and transcribe my adventures (which I'm hoping to continue having), baking joys, and whatever else might happen throughout my break before uni returns on March 5. My journal is a bit different to that of Elisa's, having created my front and back covers out of packaging cardboard, but I gain plenty of inspiration from her journals and blog posts to help me along my way! Here is the beginnings of 'Summer Break-> 2011-2012'.

Excuse all of the funky camera angles - I got a new (really great) digital camera for Christmas, and I've been giving it a bit of a work out as you can see haha (:

Red Velvet Cheesecake

After buying a couple of copies of Woolworths Good Food magazine, I'm hooked on it and it's recipes. It went straight on my (very late) Christmas list to Mum and Dad, and lucky me received a 12 month subscription! Woo Hoo!


Anyway, I truly recommend that you check out the mag - it is only $3.95 after all! And no, I'm not working on commission...or at all in fact haha :) Here's some pics of the Red Velvet Cheesecake I whipped up for our New Years Day BBQ lunch as dessert. Everyone loved it!!

 

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and New Year! xx

Shit Girls Say

One of my favourite bloggers, Erica, shared this hilarious YouTube video on her blog Tartraz and so I thought I'd pass on the favour - it's hilarious. And what's even better is that there are more of where this one came from!! Once I began watching it, a lot of pointing and 'ohhhh's' starting happening from me behind the screen here because the videos are just way too accurate! Enjoy girls :D


PS: I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!! xx
