131118 ; Temporary Tattoos ;-)

Hi guys! I'm back with a new (short) post haha. I can tell you that following instashops is a big mistake man. Whenever I go into my instagram it will be full of pretty clothings and things which will tempt me and I can't bear to unfollow them because I will anticipate for more nice stuffs hahaha. But anyway! Recently I saw a blogshop selling kind of er tumblr types of temporary tattoos and omg i fell in love with it ok HAHAHA. It's really pretty!! I didn't ask her for meet ups (one i'm lazy, two because she didn't stated where she's able to do meet ups so i didn't ask) but lucky she asked me whether i want to meet her at pasir ris (which is like one stop away from my area hahaha does she knows where i stay?! lol) and i'm like of course sure!! I can save the money for reg postage hahaha. Although she couldn't make it but i met her sister instead. & when I got my items i'm like OMG THESE ARE SOOOOO GORG.

they have quite some designs but i just bought some of it. nice right?! hahaha
AREN'T THESE SO NICE. I can't take it (it looks so nice and i just bought one each designs so i don't really bare to use it) so i took 2 and use it! Oh and because i bought quite a lot she gave me 3 free muahahaha. (the rila watch, snow design and 'i *heart* you') Love it! And yes since i couldn't get a tattoo (one my age doesn't fit the age to get a tattoo, two my parents will kill me hahaha), why not get temp tattoos?! They are like so nice, and once they fade off you can make another design on your body! (although it will cost haha) And i really wanted to have tattoos on my wrist, so i made them on my wrist!

alive

snow design that she gave me for free hehe
So these are the tattoos that i've used for the moment! aren't these really so niceee (idk how many times i've said it lol)! Guess I will purchase from her again since the designs are quite my *taste* haha and the meet up place is also quite ok! You guys can check out her IG @pixiedustsss if you're interested in purchasing! :)

Cake adventure!

Hi guys! Sorry I hadn't been updating recently due to exams previously and my laziness (laughs). & now I'm back with a cake post! Because we had our friend's birthday bash & party (will be posting this later), and I decided to bake a cake for her instead of buying of because it seems more, sincere? haha. We needed the cake and my house doesn't have a oven (even my friends!), so I went to my ask one of my friend from church who bakes often and yeah, lucky me, she agreed to us (me and my friend) going to her house to bake a cake for our friend! If you guys are interested to bake a chocolate cake, here's the recipe that my friend from church sent me:


For my case, I went to the supermarket and didnt found any all purpose flour :-( But I saw cake flour so I bought that instead! So you guys can use cake flour too, it suits any cakes! :-) & yeah eggs are all the same size haha, just use the normals eggs. & my friend didnt added warm water/ coffee, she just added normal water which was not hot nor cold o.o but well, the mixture was ok in the end :-) Most importantly, always put in dry ingredients first, mix well, make a hole in the middle of the mixture, and add in the wet ingredients, & mix/blend well! After that you can add the mixture into any mould and put it into the oven ;-) but always remember to preheat your oven first! For our case our first cake took quite a long time for it to be fully baked ^^" Although the top was burnt, but it was nice!! We cut off the top and made the cake flat. & of course, we ate the top parts! (But my friend didnt let me eat the burnt part even though it smells and looks so nice!! T^T she say it's not good for me haha >:)) IT WAS YUMMY. It's super nice omg! Since it was hot the outside was crispy and the inside was soft! It's veryyyy nice. Those who loves baking should definitely try this simple and yummy recipe!! 

here's a photo of the top part (crust??) that we've cut off from the cake ^^ HEY IT'S SUPER DELICIOUS DESPITE LOOKING LIKE SOME IDK WHAT. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!! You guys should try making this!

 & yea, I baked 2 cakes! One for my friend (birthday on the 26th of October) & one for my dad (birthday on the 27th of October) ^^ We ended up using a little too much for my friend's cake so my dad's cake was a little thinner than my friend's one ^^" but it's ok! It's the thoughts that counts right? ;-) Anyway here's a picture of the cake after cutting off the top!

this is actually the bottom of the cake because I cut off the top part and flipped it over to make it easy for me to coat the chocolate on it.
Since I'm in the mood I'll state the steps that I used to do the cake too haha. So here are the steps below!

First, take out the cake from the fridge / wait for it to cool down after cutting off the top part of the cake .
Second, melt the chocolate (any chocolate you want) thoroughly.


The chocolate that I uses is Hershey's baking semi-sweet chocolate. I got it at AMK Hub's NTUC! :-) Using baking chocolate makes the chocolate really easy to melt. For people like me who doesn't have a oven & microwave (not working after not using it for so long haha), you can melt chocolate by putting a smaller / bigger bowl below a bowl. The bowl below should have hot boiling water / warm water to melt the chocolate. You can cut the chocolate into smaller pieces in order for it to melt easier and faster. After that put the chocolate into the bowl on top, and mix it till melted! It's quite easy! :D You can use a big bowl and contain all the chocolate in the bowl if you're melting a huge amount of chocolate, it saves time haha!

Anyway at the same time, I went to melt the white chocolate (same method as the dark chocolate) too for the wordings on the cake. I bought the.. (idk what brand, I forgotten T_T) white chocolate chip (I guess it's available at any supermarket at the baking section) and melted it. It was also under 'baking chocolate' types so it's really easy to melt ^^ I melted the whole pack because I left the chocolate chips on top of my small fridge in my room haha and almost half of it melted already x( But oh well this is how it looks like when I've finish melting it!

I didn't have the small piping tip so I just cut off the tip! (but I still didn't did a great job on squeezing out the words.. T^T)

Oh third, after finish melting your chocolate, coat it onto cake using a spatula or anything you have and feel comfortable to use with. Coat it evenly at the top and the sides too, coating the bottom, well it's optional if you want to, but I did not because I didn't have time x) For mine it looks like this:


After that you can start squeezing you wordings on top of your cake or sprinkle some sweets on it like oreo and more!

For my friend's birthday cake I used my store bought macaroons (from candy empire! should be super yummy but I haven't taste it because it looks so nice HAHA).

this is the packaging! there's both chocolate and strawberry flavour x)
I've always thought that the macaroons were all together in one packet and not being separated by small little packets inside. But when I opened it, to my surprise it's in small little packets! So cute hehe.

LOOK IT LOOKS SO CUTE AND EASY TO EAT OMG
Haha but there were only 6 small packets in a packet.. x) So for my friend's birthday cake I used up 3 to kinda create a "mickey mouse" look (lol) (actually just trying to fill up the empty spaces hahaha). And I used a zip lock bag to contain my white chocolate (stupid right?!) because I couldn't find my piping bag. And guess what?! It popped a hole and slowly.. a bigger hole xD So I put back all the white chocolate into the bowl and used a tooth pick to write the words slowly, one by one T^T (and the end product was so ugly oh gosh! I can't believe it. maybe it was better to buy one instead of making one.. x()

ohmygosh. such a failure!!!! x((( but I tried making her name nice! :-(
Anyway, haha the next day (??), I think on the saturday, I made the other cake for my dad. And yes I could not finish the white chocolate and I wrapped it will cling wrap and put it into the fridge. I took it out for awhile when I wanted to use it and put it under the hot water ^^ It melted quite fast! I repeated the same method and steps as my friend's birthday cake ;-) But the only thing is I bought a row of oreo, took out the middle white thing (idk what's that called ><) and smashed it into crumbs. And after that I poured the oreo onto a strainer and sprinkle it down onto the cake~ (just like black snow hehe. not funneh? xD) but oh well, finally got a piping bag and put back the white chocolate in after melting it. But the end results still aren't that nice.. ^^"


Still ugly but, hey! I'm gonna improve soon after practicing a few more times ok! x(

Hehehe ok that's all for this post! I'll be posting our BBQ pictures soon ^^ (lazy to blog la hahaha) Have a good evening and rest well everyone~ Oh yeah! It's November already huh! Hope that everyone will have a good month this month! x) Anybody is November baby too? heh x)


GOODNIGHT :*
