Just a short one..

This is just a short post..

I stayed at home today.. feel like cleaning up the room, although there’s still a lot of things to dump and organized.. :-p
So I managed to re-arrange my drawers, move our underwear (my husband & mine) to the other drawer and turn the currents for baby clothes. We cannot add more cupboard, it’s not that we cannot afford it, but our bedroom is the one that do not have extra space for new furniture. The baby crib will take 1 x 2 meters by it self.. so we decide to not getting any other cupboard and just re-arrange our stuff.. haha..

I washed some of the baby clothes too.. can’t wash them all at once because it’s just too many and I did it by hand.
It makes me happy seeing the little socks hanging there.. haha.. love the tigger and pooh socks..

And I did a little baking too.. I made chocolate cupcakes.. But I think the recipe does not use too many chocolate (only 2 spoons!!), I want to look for more chocolatey ones :-)
But I’m pretty glad with today’s result.. no more burned cupcakes!

My Very First Baking Attempt..

I’ve been wanting to bake cupcakes since I don’t know when.. Had a craving for cupcakes, but I still can’t find a decent cupcake store here (in my home town) like those ones in Jakarta or Surabaya..

My hubby is in Jakarta right now and I hope he’ll be bringing some home tomorrow.. YAY! :-)

But today.. I feel like baking one..
Found a red velvet cupcake recipe on Joy of Baking about a week ago and dreaming about baking some of my own..
I have never bake a cake before, except those time when I attended cooking classes, but still.. I didn’t do it on my own, the teacher helped me.
So, I bought some ingredients yesterday & yup.. this morning.. I baked a batch of red velvet cupcakes.

After 2 hours struggling in the kitchen and taraaaaa…

My husband said the shape is a mess.. hahah.. I cannot say that they’re pretty too.. haha..
I think I put too much cake batter in the muffin cup too :-p
Another lesson learned.. I must have put the cake on the middle tray.. I put it below, so yea.. got the base of the cupcakes burned.
They taste okay though.. :-p
I left some in the fridge for my husband to try when he come home tomorrow.

Too bad I messed the cream cheese frosting.. it won’t go thick, I don’t know why.. but I’m going to try to make some again next time, and I hope it will be more successful :-)

Click here for the recipe if you would like to try baking some too.
Enjoy the rest of the day!

I’m sure I’m going to enjoy mine with a cup of coffee & my cupcakes :-)
