Of baking and stuff

   
Hello everyone! Feeling so damn hyper right now after drinking a cup of my own homemade latte. I guess it's because of the amount of caffeine that I've taken in. The latte that I made for myself was too strong ; I added too much of coffee powder into it. I can feel that my heart is pumping so fast. Goodness. I shall not do this again. *felt regretful* 

During the holidays, my sis and I did some baking and we even tried to make our own ice popsicles. She did most of the cooking while I did all the washing. What I enjoy about baking and creating our own food is that I get to experiment with different types of ingredients/food and it makes me happy to see the results. On the other hand, I spent most of my time on sleeping. But I think I've overslept a lot and this had caused me to feel tired all the time instead of being energized. That's not a good sign. :(

Here are the pictures :

These are the ingredients that we used to make the yogurt ice popsicles! Well, I don't have the recipe as we actually created/modified our own recipe after watching lots of youtube videos. :x 

Blended the fresh strawberries into a puree.

Placed a cup of yogurt into a big bowl.

Mixed some sweet condensed milk and a bit of milk into the bowl.

Poured some whipping cream into the mixture.

Added the strawberry puree into it.

Done with the mixing!

We poured the mixture into a measuring cup as it will be easier for us to pour it into the ice cream moulds.

Woke up early on a Sunday morning to bake red velvet cupcakes with dad.

The outcome. It wasn't really nice though. :(

Failed.

Wanted to share this with you guys. It's red cabbage juice. Pretty isn't it? :) I've come across this website where they teach people on how to make your own natural food colouring using red cabbage juice. I tried to use this red cabbage juice on my cupcakes and it didn't really work well as the colour of the cupcake itself was quite dark for the juice to act on. I guess it might work better on vanilla cupcakes. :/

This is the website :)

Tried to make whipped cream cheese frosting for these cupcakes. The cream was good but it didn't last long, it melted after a few minutes. :o

Besides baking and making various kinds of food, I've also spent some time surfing the net. My advice, be careful with the things that you share online as it might lead to bad consequences. Be wise.

Before I end my post, let me share a picture with you guys,

Mum bought this cute can of m&ms today :D


Also, I've added a 'What's popular' page in my blog. This is a page where I'll post the links of some of the popular posts in my blog. :)

Goodnight everyone, see you guys soon! :)

   

Dinner at saisaki buffet

   
Hey people! My holidays are finally here! Yesterday was the last day of our school and most of us really enjoyed it. We, the Einsteiniens and the students from Archimedes went for a visit at Taylor's University and College while my bestie, See Qing and her classmates went for a visit at the Segi University and College. The activities held were quite fun but really really tiring.We did experiments on collecting our own DNA, which they called it as 'genes in a bottle'. The experiment was quite similar with what we did previously during our visit to Sunway uni & college (DNA of bananas).

Another thing that we did in Taylor's was something like a mission where each of the groups were given a piece of question paper and all you have to do is to walk around and get answers almost everywhere in the university's compound. Okay seriously, the most attractive thing about the university is that they have like, A LOT of cafes and restaurants. Skip the food part. During the mission, we took pictures with the staffs, male students and we even took a picture with an international student which was a korean lady. Not to forget we also bumped into a nice and friendly girl senior. HEH! After we've completed the challenge, it's time for our break, yay! Right after I've finished my lunch, Huey Syuen and Chun Min accompanied me to Starbucks to get a drink. :D

Loving the starbucks red paper cup!

And the main topic is, dinner at saisaki! It's located in the UOA building in KL, you can check it out by googling it. You know how much I love about buffets right right right. *drools* Buffets are amazing. You can just take whatever kinds of food that you like and gulp it all at once, nah just joking, you'll die from choking by eating like that. My mum happen to know this place as she and her friends had buffet lunch once before at saisaki. So she brought us there last Wednesday! :D
