I baked up a storm last week (cupcakes and cookies) but before I could take any pictures… they were accidently thrown out. -=( BUT, luckily my friend took a picture of her sugar cookie:
I was feening for Nutella so I used it instead of melted chocolate. It wasn’t dry of course but it was so worth it. I microwaved the Nutella for 30 seconds and then lathered it at the top of the cookies for the lovely bleeding heart look. I love sugar cookies for the following reasons: they taste good and they are the only things I can properly make. <3
As a noobie baker, I’m bound to make costly mistakes and run into “ugly” ends. I thought I should document every little error and hopefully learn from my mistakes… because sometimes I unfortunately don’t, haha.
Today I tried to make some cake pops. I don’t want to link the recipe because I’ll embarrass the hell out of the author if she should somehow see mine! I’m serious. My cake balls did not stick together and therefore ruined everything. Instead, it turned out as cake “mash”. I shall have pictures up in a bit to show you just how ridiculous they turned out.
Cake Pops: Failed.
First Time making them.
Reasons Why I Think I Failed:
1. Added too much frosting to my crumbled cake (it turned soggy) or maybe not enough?
2. Bought the wrong chocolate to melt
I’m turning this blog into a baking diary.
Artificial colour is perfect for an amateur baker.
I make regular contributions to Toronto Styles about things we want, need and lust for! Of course in addition to the random news, sales, beauty and our personal thoughts and opinions. And each contributor has their own alias - can you tell which one is me?
I also have the perfect name for a new fashion blog! I won’t be releasing it anytime soon due to the final exams of my undergraduate degree [09 graduates!], but it is coming and it will be one thousand times better than this ever was.
I’m leaving my wire and cable tree and the zipper skirt posts because they are my favourite. <3
Have a cupcake and a marvelous day!
It was our first time playing with fondant and there will be many more baking sessions to come!

H&M Gray Tri-Blend Tank Top
Vintage Parasuco Black Denim Skirt with Zippers
My Mom’s Black Belt
Thrifted Yellow Belt
H&M now has a high-waisted black skirt with two zippers at the front like my skirt above. It has a better fitted waist and instead of three zippers at the back, it has three buttons. It’s a pretty cute updated version of mine.
