How to Make Eiffel Tower Cupcake Toppers

03 February 2012

February is the only month when it is unofficially okay to have pink as your picture background for every post for the rest of the month. By "you" I mean "me". And while where at it, I'll include April on the list since it's my birthday month and I can practically do anything I want.  But then ...

Banana Bread {Like How Ma Used to Make}

26 January 2012

Shhh.... I'm using my good old fashioned whisk while making this classic (read: I'm doing some late night baking and I'm hoping not to disturb my nice and friendly but already sleeping neighbors while I whisk the batter away.)  You see, it's bad enough that I torture them with the scent of ...

How to Make Dragon Cupcake Toppers

22 January 2012

I'm a little time challenged this past week. You see, all the clocks around the house stopped. At different times. One reads 3 o'clock, another reads 9:50 and another one 11:30. Must buy batteries soon. I don't know if I'm getting enough sleep or simply just been awake too long. I do hope I am not ...

Miette's Tomboy Cake

17 January 2012

I am pretty sure I am not the only one in the world who mixes up her everyday vocabulary every now and then. Sometimes I need to say “sinigang” or “sinangag” out loud to make sure I am using the correct term for the dish in question. Or when eating too much and I have a feeling I need to ...

How to Make Thomas the Train Cupcake Topper (2D Version)

13 January 2012

Hi there! Nope. No deja vu here. It's Thomas again! Yeah, I know I featured him several times already.  I gave Thomas and Friends Cupcakes to my friend's little boy here. My friend even wrote a sweet post about it here. I made some with Amie here. And I even made tutorials for the 3D version ...

Sugarcane Chai Tea Cupcakes

11 January 2012

Would you like to play in the Bake Happy Kitchen with me? Yeah, play. Nothing serious. Just you and me, an oven and a recipe. I'll let you do the mise en place if you let me choose what we'll bake today. So, is that a yes? I'll even let you operate my cherished (as old as me) hand held mixer while ...

Miette: Recipes from San Francisco's Most Charming Pastry Shop

09 January 2012

Want to take a peek into one of my baking cookbooks? Here is one of my favorites.  Miette is a compilation of recipes from the pastry shop of the same name owned by pastry chef Meg Ray. If the shop is charming the book is definitely even more. The pastries featured seem to be waiting for the ...

Baking Supplies Store - SweetCraft Baking and Confectionery Supplies

06 January 2012

Okay, here's the deal. You and me. Let's take the day off from the kitchen and visit one of the baking supplies stores I frequently visit.  Just a friendly warning before we come in: this place will empty your pockets really fast. Don't say I didn't warn you. Shall we? SweetCraft is located in ...

Applesauce Spice Cupcakes

04 January 2012

Dear Fate,  I broke a cake plate today. Please don't hate me.  Really. There's no rhyme or reason as to why it happened. Sometimes, it just does. That's life. I am sad about it, you know. It was a pretty cake plate, with a curvy base, beautiful cream color, and swirly red side borders - a cake ...
