Fake Blueberry Muffins

My dad brought home blueberry yogurt…
I hate blueberry yogurt D:
Don’t get me wrong, I love blueberries, but blueberry yogurt is just disgusting.

But since it was about to expire, and I didn’t want to throw it away, I thought I’d just bake something with it.
And what’s one of the best things you can bake with blueberries? Blueberry muffins, of course *Q*

So I looked up a blueberry muffin recipe (how many times have I said blueberry by now? XD;;), changed it, and voila, yummy muffins!
Just scroll down for the recipe :3

Awesome colour Y/Y?

And again: awesome colour, yes? 8D

Fake Blueberry Muffin Recipe

1 … yogurt (~180ml)
1 … egg
45 ml … oil (whichever you like to use for baking)
½ tsp … vanilla extract
195 g … flour
75 g … granulated sugar
1 tsp … baking powder
½ tsp … baking soda
¼ tsp … salt

1. Whisk together the yogurt, egg, oil and vanilla extract
2. In another bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt
3. With a rubber spatula, fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients
4. Evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter
5. Bake at 190°C for about 15 minutes

This recipe makes about 7 muffins
(stupid number, I know)

You don’t have to use blueberry yogurt for this, of course.
Just open your fridge, see what you have and use that 8D

Green! Bzzzzz!

I love colourful hair
So I’m posting some pictures of my last haircolour, since I’m kinda depressed because my hair’s blonde right now D: (all the colour washed out, and I still need to wait for about a month until I can dye them again -> blue and red, for the Glee concert 8D)

I think I’ll post a history of my haircolours sometimes, but for now, it’s just my St. Patrick’s hair

My hair was supposed to be in three different shades of green (I got a layered cut, especially for that), but the top colour was more like a dark turquoise, but I didn’t mind much, it still looked awesome

Yay for Mickey Mouse face masks

I had half black, half blonde hair before this, and the hairdresser didn’t get out all the black when she was bleaching my hair (I didn’t want to wait any longer and try to bleach it again >-<), so that’s why the left side has a different shade of green than the right.

This is what my hair looked like after washing it a few times XD;;
I had every colour in there, from neon yellow, to white, to orange 8D
I kinda liked it ♥

My dad’s and my hair 8DDD

My dad actually had purple highlights a few years ago 8D
It was when I wanted to get some colour for the first time, but the purple didn’t show AT ALL (I hadn’t bleached my hair at that time, but the colour was supposed to be for dark hair D:)
So I had purple dye left and didn’t want to just throw it away, so I asked my dad if I could put some of it in his hair, because the purple would surely show up on white hair~
And since my dad is awesome like that, he agreed of course 8D

Lazy post, because I’m…well, lazy

A lazy, pic heavy post of things I baked recently, but never posted~

Apple Crisp

I had promised my sister to make apple crumble for her, apple crisp isn’t THAT different, so…>w<
The top looks a bit weird, because it was more like a dough than a crumbly topping .o.
It smelled yummy, and as far as I know, tasted yummy as well 8D
(I’m allergic to cinnamon, so I wasn’t allowed to eat it ;A;)

Adorable bowl y/y?

 

Chocolate and Vanilla Pound Cake

I just wanted to try buttercream…and it was a disaster D:
I really have no idea what I did wrong, but this had to be the suckiest buttercream in the history of icing D:
It looks as if I had used granulated sugar instead of icing sugar and it was just…weird D:
But apart from that, I made my first buttercream rose!
For my first try, with a sucky buttercream, I think it turned out fine :3
(I didn’t use any food colour for the pink, I just added a bit of strawberry flavour and BAM!, it was pink)

 

Lemon Sponge Pudding

I’m allergic to Disneyland. And I don’t know why, since it’s like my favourite place on this planet D:
But every time we go to Disneyland, I either get sick a few days before, or while we’re at the park. Or I hurt my feet and/or back. And THEN get sick.

Anyway, like always, I got sick only two days before we were supposed to fly to Disneyland.
And I was home alone.
And miserable.
Anyway, lemons help when you’re sick, because they contain lots of Vitamin C.
Now a normal person would ask someone else to make lemonade for them or something, or quickly make some themself.
Yeah, well, I didn’t, I baked something.
Lemon sponge pudding is absolutely delicious *Q* The top is a lemon sponge cake, and below that there’s lots of lemon curd/pudding~~~ *-*

Eat the cake, before it eats you

Today’s my parents’ 31st wedding anniversary! Yay!
I wanted to surprise them with a cake, but couldn’t think of ANYTHING D:
Because I really didn’t want to make another LEGO cake or something patchwork-y.
You know how the 25th anniversary, for example, is the silver one and the 50th the golden one, right? Well, I asked dear uncle Google if there are other names and THIS is what I found (it’s in German). It says ‘lime tree’ next to 31 (although I’m not sure how…accurate this list is, since the next one would be ‘soap’…), so I thought making a cake of a tree would make sense and be nice
At first I wanted to make a tree trunk with a heart and my parents’ initials carved into it, but then my sister suggested that I could make a tree with a face and with twigs in the shape of a heart (because that’s less cliché)…and so I did
It turned out to look…a bit creepier than I had planned and sketched, but I still really like it (I think it’s my favourite cake so far >w<)

My sister named him ‘Barkie’, just so you know 8D

Yes, the tree is winking at you 8D

I really like his teeth~

I didn’t have a brush (or at least not one I would use for something that’s going to be eaten), so I used a q-tip (a clean one, of course) to colour the eye

This is the first time I put wire into a cake~ I know lots of people use it when making fondant figures, so I thought I’d try it out as well and used it in the branches~ It’s way easier to work this way *-*

See the 31 on the back? 8DD~~~

Barkie in our garden, with money leafs (which my sister lay down with the underside up, don’t ask me why…)
I thought giving my parents 31€ with the cake would be nice

Evil Barkie

Good Barkie

My parents said they would eat him…if he doesn’t eat them first 8D

134…wow, you guys are old!

365 days a year.
And my parents’ and sister’s birthdays are all in one week -_-
My sister’s and mother’s bday are even on the same day!
Geez >_>

Anyway~
My dad wasn’t here on his birthday, he actually wasn’t even in Austria on that day! D:
He was somewhere in Switzerland, showing off his new awesome bot, which you can see HERE somewhere (just click through the site, he’s got some nice bots )
And since he didn’t have time on my sister’s and mom’s birthday either (playing with Lego again, only this time in Austria), we celebrated all their birthdays on the 29th.

I had an entirely different cake planned, which I will still bake one day, but for now, I’m quite happy with this one as well
It has 3 tiers, the bottom one (yellow cake) is my dad’s, because he loves Lego (you never would have guessed that, right?)
The middle tier (chocolate pound cake) is my mom’s, because she loves everything patchwork and actually makes pretty beautiful patchworks and quilts I’m planning to make a blog for her so she can show off her creations~ Look forward to that! 8D
And the top cake (angel food cake) is for my sister because she loves loves loves Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Raven’ :3~

Also, I’d like to add that I was in a rush making that cake, that’s why some things didn’t turn out the way I wanted or are incomplete D:

Please ignore the crumbs, I was lazy >w<;;;;

Quick tip for making super easy lego bricks (or the top at least): Just take a lego baseplate, wash it(!), turn it over and roll out the fondant with a rolling pin~ Then just pull off the fondant and cut it the way you want Of course the nubs will be a bit smaller than on the actual bricks, but it’s so much quicker than cutting out every single one D:

(gah, you’re not seeing the gaps between the bricks, okay? >-<)
A one minute minifig which kinda ended up looking like a chibi o.o;;

Ignore the holes, that’s where the book was attached to the cake with toothpicks XD;

The ball of yarn was supposed to have fondant strings on it, not knife imprinted ones D: But I just didn’t have the time ;A;

I know, I know, the raven looks more like a black canary XD;;;;;
(which made me think of Pavarotti of Glee, which in turn made me think of ‘Quoth the raven “Glitter!”‘ which my sister and I later turned into “Glitter Shorts” and “Eat my Glitter” [yes, we threw some Simpsons in there as well XD;] And Neverotti Glittermore. You really don’t need to get this, don’t worry XD;;;)

Pot of golden fruit loops

St. Patrick’s Day!

Other than dyeing my hair green especially for this day, I also made a cake!
‘Leprechauns’ was the first thing that popped into my head.
Leprechauns are small. Blaine is short. See the connection? 8D
Also, if I remember correctly, Darren’s dad is Irish, or has Irish ancestors at least, so it fits even better
(= Kiss me, I’m half Irish)

I really wanted Kurt to be on the cake as well, so he’s the rainbow 8D (you know, the one you follow so you’ll find the pot of gold [/fruit loops])

Also: I’M PRETTY SURE PAVAROTTI ONLY FAKED HIS DEATH SO HE WOULDN’T HAVE TO EAT GLITTER ANYMORE!! And now he’s chillin’ with Elvis and 2Pac.

Yes, I am obsessed with Glee, SUE (ahahahaha) me!

I had a little help from a friend this time (the one I made the Shinhwa cake for )
She baked the cake with me, and to show that she actually helped making the cake, she also made a fish out of fondant (everyone calls her Fishie) to put on the cake 8D (I told her to)

The cake is a chocolate pound cake with strawberry jam Awesome for carving, yummy as well :3~

*Plays the Jaws’ theme in the background*

 

 

Going bananas

So…remember THIS cake I made for my friend last year?
Well, my friend is back, so I made another cake for her!
Sadly it wasn’t a surprise this time, since I had to make it when she was already here, because I didn’t have time before ><

Anyway, my friend doesn’t only like stomach hair of certain people, she also likes bananas. And Shinhwa. Especially Eric.
If you don’t already know the video, scroll down and watch it, it pretty much explains the cake 8D

The banana is actually a banana cake with banana cream cheese frosting
So yummy~~~~~~

 

Bloody Mary(lin)

I actually wanted to make a strawberry pudding to go with the boob cupcakes and boob pops, because my dad owns a pudding mold for a naked Marylin
So, I made it, everything looked fine, but when I tried putting it onto a plate, the pudding ripped in two D:
I actually just wanted to throw it away, or leave for my dad to eat (he’s to only one who likes strawberry pudding), but my sister told me to make a zombie out of her.
And that I did 8DD

I took some of my fondant and made organs, bones and muscle and then put some icing blood on top 8D
Kinda like how it turned out

(And just remember: It’s my sister’s fault!)

Without blood

Cupcakes in the nude

Ever had the urge to make boob cupcakes?
No?
Well, I did!
So I made some 8D

One thing you should know about me is: I don’t even LIKE boobs -_-
Seriously, they’re just stupid meat bags that make sleeping on the tummy uncomfortable.
And I LIKE sleeping on my tummy! D:
But maybe that’s just me, because I sleep weird.

ANYWAY~
Like I was saying, I made boob cupcakes! In four different colours!
Light, medium, dark and alien 8D
Three of them even got piercings

I also tried making boob-pops, but, well…D:
Let’s start at the beginning:
I didn’t have any lollipop sticks, and honestly have no idea where to get them around here. So I just took pocky, because it’s way nicer if you can eat the stick as well anyway, right? 8D
The left over cake from the pops was about the only thing I had to stick the drying pops into, so I did just that and it worked perfectly!
Until the pocky sticks absorbed all the moisture of the cake and broke off D:
Three pops gone ;A;
Yeah, stupid, I know >-< Will have to think of something else next time.
Next problem: the icing I covered the pops with was pretty smooth at first, even when it dried, but after I left the pops over night, they got all bumpy >-<
Not pretty at all D:
At least the chocolate cake inside is yummy *shrug*

Cupcake on the bottom right: Superbowl, anyone? 8D

Box o’ Boobs

Dyed them all pink to match the skin color…well, not the alien one, obviously XD;;
I used cream cheese frosting, because I like it better than buttercream >w<

Pops in the making

When the pops weren’t that bumpy yet >-<

Cookies to eat…or throw around

Super Bowl~!

I made cookies of both teams, because I didn’t know who supported who aaaand cookies of footballs because…well, for obvious reasons, I guess 8D

If you’re wondering why there are more Packers cookies than Steelers cookies, that’s because the Packers cookies were way easier to make and I…well, I kinda ate the other two cookies which were supposed to be transformed into Steelers cookies XD;;;;

Those little footballs are actually chocolate banana cake balls, covered in chocolate

I wanted to make some players as well, but I was too lazy to finish D:

I had some ‘Princess’ icing in tubes left…pink, purple and turquoise and all of them GLITTER 8D
And I wanted a fabulous football player, so…there you go 8D

The little cake footballs in the making :3

Freshly covered in chocolate~
