My Cupcake Craze

After returning from Australia and my Cruise trip, there was a period I went into a baking craze.

Determined to slave away in the kitchen as a doted home maker would, a transition easily adopted after living out of a suitcase for far too long. It's like discovering a whole new me in place.




During which I was particularly quite involved in cupcakes. Baking all sorts of pretty little cupcakes, icing them with homemade chocolate or colored icings, most times with flavours. Gosh I was becoming a housewife.




I wasn't alone in baking though. My super chef baby was working it hard in the kitchen whipping his awesome fine dine style meal after meal, determine to fuel me until my next departure. -.-

From pasta to Sticky Lemon Chicken.




And Homemade Mash.




And my all time favourite: Oven Baked Salmon with Rosemary and Olive Oil.







For some reason, he could always perfect this dish no restaurant I've dined in was able to. Sheer bliss. I bake, he cook.


Anyway, here were some of my baking results during the entire month of June, I call it the period of settlement.


The Swirly Chocolate Cupcakes
















Then there were just Birthday Cupcakes I baked for two persons in that month.

First there was the colorful cupcakes for Shirley.
















And the mini-cupcakes for Timothy.







I kinda rushed the cakes the whole day right up till before we left the house.
Which explained why I was in my dress in the photo below when I was finishing up the icings.


careful careful~


I can't remember but I think the green one could be banana flavour.




Not sure if he and princess ate it or threw them away. Hmm...


Of course it wasn't just cupcakes, there were apple and banana chocolate chip crumbles too.








can't remember which was apple and which was banana


On second attempt, I poured twice as much chocolate chips because chocolate is always good. Yum~




And twice as much apples too.


It wasn't just all boring square cakes and cupcakes too, I took the initiative to bake muffins too! Ha!

My personal favourite.

Banana Crumble Chocolate Chip Muffin
















What? Do I look like the type of girl who don't know how to bake?
