Dessert Shots

Hello Angels
Long time no see??!! Yes, i was consumed by my work and other personal affairs, that i hardly had any time to blog. But keeping all things aside, i am extremely excited about this blog post.

When i invite family/friends over to my place, DESSERT is a key item on the menu ♥ Plus i believe, they bring the perfect ending to any gathering or party. Agree?

So this week, i served Dessert shots! Very popular delicacy..especially for its extreme prettiness. Dessert shots are very easy to make. They can be set in less than 20 minutes. But of course if you go for a difficult recipe it can take you long hours. In whichever case they never fail to capture attention and your sure to receive loads of compliments on your presentation skills.

What to serve?
You may decide to serve anything from chocolate mousse to pudding as a dessert shot. Most often there are 2 to 3 layers of different contents. I filled the bottom layer with a mixture of crushed cracker & caramel, followed by chocolate mousse, then another layer of cracker/caramel mix. Finally topped it with whipped cream and raspberry. Wolaaa done!!! ♥

Making and eating them is such a delight. Absolutely love how they look on my dinner table. Have you ever tried your hands on dessert shots? What's your favorite recipe? Do let me know...

Have a lovely weekend lovelies???

Swiss, Paris & Me

Hello Angels

Am back...ooh yes, the time flew by

My trip to Paris and Swiss was beyond amazing and beautiful. Witnessing the grand Eiffel tower, making it to the Top of Europe i.e. 11,300 feet high on Jungfrau mountain (-10 degree), was a dream come true. 

The ever so lively streets of Paris lined with retro classic cafe's and beautiful architectural creations is admirable. Finding a good cafe, sipping hot chocolate and watching the crowd was my thing to do in Paris. Observing the life, streets and beauty. Paris being the city of Love, how can i not do something crazy for the love of my life?! Pont des arts is a bridge in Paris crossing the Seine River where people place padlocks with their names to the railing of the bridge, then drops the key into the river below as a romantic gesture.

 I found this a must do and so here below (red one) is my 'lil padlock! What say?

Switzerland was an epitome of natural beauty. I lost count of the no of times i yelled out 'OMG', 'amazing', 'gorgeous' throughout my visit to Swiss. The chocolate, pastries and food is to die for. And as you can tell, i stuffed my face into them. Out of almost 1500 pics, here are a few. I may do another post, sharing few more

Let me know if  you would like to see more. What do you like the most about Paris & Swiss?
Have a great weekend

My Very Own Chanel Cupcakes

Hellloo Lovelies..

I might be saying this quite often now, but am super duper excited for this blog post. a) because this is my 100th blog post b) I feel extremely happy about my baking skills now.

Don't we all LOVE cupcakes?? I do. Especially those gorgeous decorated ones. They are a bundle of joy to me. Always brings a smile without fail. I aww at the creativity and skill used to design them, which eventually led me into thinking why not acquire the skill myself??!!

So here goes...All i had to learn was to make a fondant decor. Google and You tube came in handy as always and helped me with the basics. Baking a cupcake is easy, and making a decor for it is even simpler once you get a hang of it. Since am a makeup plus handbag junky, i took my inspiration from my weakness! Sounds weird!! :) ♥

Someday i may own a Chanel Bag. Til then i can just create my own mini edible ones. What say?? 

I baked 3 Chanel Themed cupcakes

♥ A Classic Chanel Bag

♥ A Chanel Box

♥ A Lipstick

Its a chocolate cupcake with vanilla icing. For the decor i used white fondant. My store was out of black fondant unfortunately. But i manged to get hold of some coloring and painted them black!!

They turned out pretty good looking for a first timer. Woop Woop!! I was left with 2 extra cupcakes which i topped with Blue icing.

 Finally packed them away in beautiful Blue boxes. Set to be delivered to 3 of my Make up/ Chanel crazy friends! ♥ How did you like my firsthand at fondant decor? Would you like to see more designs?

Have a great weekend angels♥
