Pretty in Pink!!!

For those that know me, I love PINK!!! I'm not sure when or how this obsession happened but it did! A couple of weekends ago, Mum and I went to this cake decoration supply shop in Bibra Lake and I bought some royal icing sugar (which you can buy from Coles as well) and decided to buy some liquid food colouring to try! Of course I chose my favourite colour - Pink! Surprisingly, you only need a tiny bit of this liquid (so yes this tiny jar is going to last me yonkers!!!) to get a really lovely pink colour!

I did refreshments again this week for church and inspired by the pretty pictures in the August 06 Good Taste magazine of their cupcakes, made the White Chocolate Mudcake cupcakes, but made them Mini size. The recipe was simple enough and seemed really good, but I guess with all mini size cupcakes they often tend to be more dry... anyway going ahead with my initial plan, I decided to "dress" it up in Pink! Used Betty Crocker's vanilla frosting and with a bit of the pink liquid food color, the gorgeous pink was born! I bought a really cute set of little cutters to get the tiny heart shapes :)


Oh, and just a quick one - I tried out the Orange Yoghurt cake from "Milk and Cookies" blog (http://ilovemilkandcookies.blogspot.com/) last weekend - and perhaps it was just me, as her review on the cake was excellent, but yeah it was a bit dry and more solid than expected. Flavour wise was really nice though, the fresh burst of orange flavour! By the way, check out her blog, it is really cool! :)

Made Nigella's brownies - haha funny how sometimes it turns out different each time you make it, but as my friend Cheryl comforted me, sometimes this works out for the best! And true enough it did - altho not as fluffy as it was the previous time, it was still delicious, and moist - just gotta warm it up and serve it with cream/ice cream! Yumm!!! It was probably more brownie like this way! :)
