It feels like I've not been baking for sometime now. Since having the terrible cough, I've not been able to do much as I felt that my senses were off. Last week, I was going through the pantry and fridge and I found a couple of things that I like to clear away.
Things that I found were a box of Pillsbury Instant Chocolate Mix, Lingonberry Jam from IKEA, Philly Cream Cheese and Oreos. Okay, to be honest I'm not a fond believer in using instant cake mix as I find that the taste at times is not quite there plus I will always add in extra ingredients to make it tastier. However, on the other hand if you don't have time in your hands and you have craving for a quick dessert, then instant mixes are a blessing. Lol..
To be honest, I don't have an exact recipe in hand this time or adapted from any books or recipe sites. My Black and Pink Cupcakes are essentially Chocolate Cupcake with Lingonberry Cream Cheese Frosting and Choco Cupcake with Oreo Cream Cheese Frosting.
I used to join a lot of Art Contests when I was a kid. Not sure if my mom kept any of my art pieces. Hmm..as I recall, I won twice when Toy R'Us had their Art contests. Wish I could only find back those newspaper clippings. The BEST part was won $100 worth of voucher each time and that could buy myself any toys I wanted. It sure made me happy while I as a kid.
Anyway, I was digging through some of my photo archives and found something I made approx. 4 + years ago. They were Christmas gifts for my friends. Well not sure if any of 'you guys' are using it.. Lol..
I bought a red thermo flask and a side table lamp from IKEA. They were plain and I wanted them to look different. Like nobody would have, since it's sort of 1 kind of item. Decided to paint a butterfly on the thermo and rose on the table lamp. Hmm..thinking back, I sure do miss doing some craft work.
Well, these are the 2 items I made..I'm no pro, so go easy on me, if you like to comment. >.<
