New blog ~

Hey guys!

I decided to create a new blog!
I already have a norwegian one, but I don't really like it, so. Plus, I like writing in english more than norwegian. Writing in norwegian feels so.. I don't know.. Dumb!
It's not that I don't like my own language or anything. But when you're used to writing in english all day, every day - it suddenly feels weird to write in your own language.. Don't you agree?

Most of you already know who I am, so I won't write some kind of summary or anything like that.. Those of you who don't know me, read my blog-entries and get to know me like that! You can also follow me on twitter and talk to me there! I usually answer everyone!


















So, a few days ago, I won a camera through a competition on TV. Today it arrived (or yesterday, since it's already 2:30am here).

A pretty ok camera, perfect for travelling purposes! Also, my old camera were living it's last year anyway, so can't really complain about the timing!!

Other than that, nothing exciting has happened..
I looked through payments on paypal, and my emails, and noticed I've been ordering ALOT lately.. So, now I'm having a break from ordering anything!


As most of you know, it's soon time for Valentines Day.. Well, I'm one of those who will be alone on Valentines, like very year. But, that doesn't mean you can't come with ideas for others, or put smiles on other peoples faces, right?
I love cupcakes, and I love roses.. A combo has got to be perfect, right?!



Rose Cupcakes













Ingredients
  • 12 mini cupcakes
  • White icing
  • Scissors
  • 6 rolls of Fruit by the Foot fruit leather in Cherry Rage or strawberry flavor
  • 1 roll of Fruit by the Foot fruit leather in Color by the Foot flavor
Instructions
  1. Frost 12 mini cupcakes with white icing.
  2. To make a rose, unroll a piece of the cherry or strawberry fruit leather and divide it in half along the wavy perforated middle line. Take one of the halves and roll up about 5 inches to form the flower's center. Set the rolled strip wavy side up in the middle of a cupcake, as shown, and continue to loosely wrap the remaining fruit leather around the center at a slight angle until the flower is completed.
  3. Repeat this process for the remaining flowers. (You should be able to get 2 mini roses out of each roll of fruit leather.)
  4. Cut leaf shapes from the wavy edge of the Color by the Foot strip as shown, then tuck the leaves under the roses.


    I gotta thank Shantea Mac for this!

  1. Nice blog!! :D
    I am so going to make those cupcakes ASAP!
    I wonder... Instead of fruit leather, do you suppose it's possible to use marzipan colored with red instead, so make the rose petals? 8D
