Baking Once Again!

Every so often I get the baking bug again, especially if I haven't baked in a few weeks. I decided to make s'mores cupcakes, and pink macarons for neighbors and family. The s'more cupcakes were simply chocolate cupcakes with a buttercream frosting, and crushed graham crackers and chocolate chunks on top. The macarons were your basic macaron recipe with buttercream frosting, all tinted pink and I dusted with my edible gold dust, because let's face it, everything is better when it is gold and sparkly! I added some heart decorations as well, which gave them a very girly feel, just the way I like it! I did a DIY makeover on this cake stand, it was originally a worn down pink paint job, and I bought craft glitter and glue from Michaels, and sparkled up the stand! It sparkles so much in the sunlight that it is like twinkling stars in the daytime. My work gave me the cute little pink striped bags, because our Content Team does a lot of lifestyle photoshoots, and they know I bake a lot so they gave them to me for free, which was very sweet of them to do.

Happy First of June!

 I just recently bought the raved about Triangl bikini in California Coral, and I love the texture of the neoprene and the fit, and I am very excited to wear it. I went to a pool party wearing One Teaspoon's Eagles Shadow Bikini Top at the Mondrian in Los Angeles the other weekend, at their rooftop bar and it was like Vegas in Los Angeles, full of trendy people and blasting music. Then I had to get a little sugar kick, and I don't normally buy Starbucks Frappucino's but I decided to try it out, and it really is a drink that is just like liquid dessert! It is something I would treat myself rarely, but it definitely tastes sweet and is delicious. My new favorite macaron is the sea salt caramel, the opposite flavors are like a party for your tastebuds. I'll have to learn how to make them sometime soon!

Cake and Macarons for the Holidays

For Christmas, I made a reindeer and gingerbread cake, and also peach macarons. I also decorated my dresser, using birch branches to hold some jewelry and lanterns, which are one of my favorites to hang from tree branches as it creates such a fairtytale feel.

Post Valentine's Day

One of the acceptable days to wear pink and red together, yesterday I baked my first ever batch of red velvet French macarons. They are a little tricky but work the work! I can't wait to bake them again and improve on the flavor, fluffiness, and overall scrumptious look that they exude. In addition to baking, my boyfriend took me out to Morton's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills where we had a lovely Valentine's Dinner.
