Just a Lot of Cupcakes. Enjoy!

Oh December, the month filled with lots of Christmas parties to go to~ AND the one time of the year where I find myself doing the most baking and dessert-making only to give it away because I don’t really like eating sweets (except candy haha).  :p

So, the other week I was talking to my friend Clinton about how I’d love to get the chance to only decorate desserts– no mess and no fuss in all the baking time and hand mixing and being tired by the time you get to decorating– just. pure fun. decorating.

And I really have such amazing friends because… bless Clinton. He made 24 cupcakes and called us over to decorate!!!

It’s my first time getting to use piping materials and FONDANT (thank you Alex for getting us beautiful fondant) to decorate. You’ll… kind of see how we started to get a bit tired throughout the night. But I think we kind of redeemed ourselves near the end (???).

Clinton made dinner for us! Some nice pad thai, it was his first time making it, not bad!

I brought some things for us to decorate the cupcakes with! It’s honestly a lot of Halloween candy. But this one in particular was from Japan! Do you remember those small star candy in spirited away?!

Can you guess what there is?! There’s actually some crushed cinnamon bark and sugar cane sugar. You guys need to check Clinton’s place out, he’s super prepared and fancy :p.

I got to try my Daiso piping tools for the first time! I also spent the longest time on this cupcake and probably most of my energy for that day too XD.

Orange zest with Clinton’s first time piping his nicely made buttercream on top.

I actually can’t remember if this is nutmeg on top mixed with some ground almond and cinnamon.

Clinton spent a beautiful amount of time on this super adorable snowman. Totally worth it, can you guess what candy is on top of his head?!

I got lazy in cutting it out prettily… Be prepared I got lazier as the night got older.

Alex made this cute little… animal? 😀

I wanted to try out the other tips for piping, and it was just meh, so I tried to save it by marshmallow petals… yeah..

OKAY. I CAN EXPLAIN. It’s not a cigarette okay?! It was supposed to be a cookie monster but I couldn’t find a cookie, so that’s a lollipop. LOLLIPOP.

This reminds me of Majora’s mask for some odd reason. Basically the story behind this cupcake is that I messed up pretty badly because of this ugly colour I made for the buttercream, but I think i covered it up pretty nicely eh?

It looked a lot pretty in real life. Loved the smashed watermelon lollipop mmmMmmm.

Clinton made an owl!! He’s mighty cute haha.

Just a simple wreath. (Clinton couldn’t tell what it was D:)

Yes I didn’t post up all of them, but let’s end it off with this super cute mini cupcake on a cupcake! :D. I wish it had a tiny cherry on the top instead.

Day Before Justin Left

Justin’s leaving the nest to go down to Calgary! So Jacky and I spent his last day with him. Though technically he’s not going super far, but it was really nice to have him around or let’s be real here, it’s always nice to even have the option of knowing someone’s up for hanging out hehe ;p

I was really craving pho, so off to King Noodle House we go! I forgot what the guys ordered… probably some pho tai bo vien thing.

Someone introduced me here and I just fell in love with the place. The broth here is really good, like the simmered for many hours kind of broth! Not to mention the pricing is a lot cheaper than other pho places you go to but you get a lot of meat and ingredients! Definitely worth.

I got the Bun Bo Hue as usual. What can I say, it’s my go to! :3
Afterwards we went in search of the Rick and Morty wall!!! Hence the featured picture! Here it is again in case you wanted to see up-close haha.

Afterwards we headed back to the party at Justin’s place. Yummy food! Bun Rieu! Whoa the lighting is nice for this :3.

Went for a nice walk after in Griesbach with the puppy and played Settlers of Catan!

Miss you lots Justin :(. But super happy for you as you venture out to try and figure out where your interests lie.
