Stroopwafels!!!!!

Hi guys so I have another food post!!!! This time it is on stroopwafels!!!! Stroopwafels are basically caramel wafers that originated in The Netherlands. They are one of my favourite thigs EVER to eat because they're SOOOOOOO delicious!!!! Stroopwafels are available in Lidl and The Netherlands and sometimes Germany.
 






Sometimes people put stroopwafels over their mug of tea, coffee, e.t.c. This make the stroopwafel go all soft and warm = yummy!!!!

I personally like to put stroopwafels on top of my hot chocolate but sometimes, my mug is too big and the stroopwafel falls into the hot chocolate. :(

There are also mini stroopwafels which are in English called "Caramel Bites". These are nice for a small treat.That is all for today, and stroopwafels are officially on Willemijn's Seal of Approval! Bye!!!!!!!!!

Dot nails!!!!!

Hi guys I have more nail DIYS!!!!!! I did a dot this time with a sparkly green, light green and hot pink but as always you can use any colours you want and make this design your own. As always I will type out a few instructions for this nail design because if I can do it, you can do it!!!








1. Paint a few of your nails sparkly green and the other nails a hot pink.

2.For the pink nails, dot on some big light green dots with a cotton bud. Then, with a toothpick dot some smaller sparkly dots inside the big dots and dot some smaller dots in the empty areas of the nail. For my other pink nail, I simply switched the colours around.

 3. That's it! You have created a nail design. I hope you enjoyed this!

Bye!!!

Halloween Vampire Nails!!!!!!

Hey guys, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! For Halloween I am dressing up as a vampire so I decided to do a vampire nail design! I hope you get to recreate it because it's just SUPER simple!!!!! Here's how to do it:

1. Pick out a colour polish and paint all of your nails this colour.

2. Get some sticky tape and make a V shape on your nail, creating a triangle at the top of  your nail.

3. Paint in the triangle with another colour polish and let dry.

4. To smooth out your design add a clear coat or top coat of polish to your design and you are finished!



HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! BYE!!!!!!!

New Nail Blog!!!!

Hi guys!!!!! So, the big surprise is..... this blog is now officially

 also a nail blog as well as a baking blog!!!! YAY!!! Well the main reason for this is because I have been baking but I gotten more interested in nail art. Yesterday I did my nails with a toothpick and I was so proud that I had to show you guys! I got this idea from Janelle//elleandish. Please check out her nail art, it's amazing!
 Here is how I did my nails;











1. Pick a glitter and cream nail polish. Paint all your nail except for the accent nails with the cream polish and glitter-coat the accent nail.

2. For the thumb and pinky fingers I simply took a black nail polish ( you can use any colour you want ) and with a toothpick dotted on some small dots. my dots were as you can see not perfect so they don't have to be perfect. Just try your best. Tip: If you want big dots with a toothpick, just dip the toothpick into polish and let it dry. Keep dipping until you get your desired dot size.

3. For the middle and pointer fingers, I picked out a few polishes and a white polish and made flowers. With the toothpick I created blobs and with another toothpick dipped in white, I swirled in some white and created the effect of roses. Again, for this you really don't need to be perfect mine were far from perfect and I still love my nails. Also with some green I dotted on some leafs.

 4. And that is it!! You have finished your cool nail design!!!! Hope you like it and make sure to check out Janelle's website. Bye!!!

Chocolate!!!

Hi all today we are making history as today is the 50th blog post of Willemijn's seal of approval!!!!! YAY!!!
I'm going to try and make this blog post extra special!v So I <3 chocolate a lot as you know and I made chocolate teddy faces and other chocolate things over time and chocolate is probably my biggest baker need. Making chocolate shapes or chocolates is quite easy. All you need is a mould I have quite a few moulds from a magazine called Something Sweet which is pretty god and has good quality moulds. I have made heart chocolates, teddy faces and more from them check out the Something Sweet website if you have the chance.


Moving on, chocolate is a amazing thing and if you melt it into shapes it becomes even nicer! I enjoy chocolate a lot and there is not a huge chance of us having a chocolate shortage because chocolate is a plant and you can grow it! YAY!!!! So my verdict on chocolate is a bit predictable but still it's a YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 And there is more news Willemijn's seal of approval has more than 1135 pageviews!!!




I hope this was a fun 50th blog post thanks for reading and see you soon!!!

Strawberry cupcakes

Hi guys!!! Yesterday I posted a blog post on rainbow cupcakes! Those cupcakes were delicious! Anyway, one of the three flavours in that rainbow cupcake was strawberry! There were no strawberry bits in it but it had strawberry extract in it.. And that strawberry extract gave it a little something extra, like a berry flavour. Anyway its divine!







Although strawberry extract sounds very exotic you can get it in a lot of places. The one I used is the one in the picture in the top right corner. There are a lot of unusual extracts in the world such as rum, marshmallow and sweet potato can you believe it! There's a link here to an extract website with lots of unusual extracts and essences. If you want check it out.


I actually plan to make strawberry cupcakes in a few days I'm just out of margarine at the moment. And I'm sure there's a recipe specially for strawberry cupcakes somewhere on the internet.Plus you can also make strawberry flavoured icing, frosting e.t.c. But for now strawberry cupcakes get a big yes!! Thanks for reading this blog post on Willemijn's Seal of Approval and BYE!!!

Rainbow cupcakes!

Hello everyone!!!!!! It has been quite a while since I've blogged but I've just been caught up in so much stuff! Anyway, I made some delicious cupcakes yesterday evening and they turned out amazing! Plus the cupcake part is a rainbow cupcake!!! If you dont know what a rainbow cupcake is, it's a cupcake with a few flavorings and colourings. For instance my rainbow cupcakes have chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavour. And you will geuss I put some food colouring into each flavour.

To pipe a perfect cupcake is extremely hard! Trust me I've tried but yesterday my piping went unusually well! Some of you may not call it perfect but for me it was amazing! Oh, and FYI I didn't pipe the cupcakes on the left. I got my cupcake recipe from a magazine called 'Something Sweet' (great magazine). You should check out the website if you can.




Okk, time for my verdict on rainbow cupcakes. My verdict........... drumroll......THUMBS UP! Rainbow cupckaes are like all your favourite flavours rolled into one cupcake! You should really try to make them and be amazed by how delish they are! Anyway thats another bog  post to go on Willemijn's Seal of Apoproval! Thank you and good night!

Favourite chocolate bars

Hi all! So, I'm a bit stuck for what to post on my blog so i'm just gonna post a list of my all-time favourite chocolate bars. I know I have done a 'Yes or No?' on chocolate bars but I'm stuck for ideas so here's a list of my favourite chocolate bars.

5.Wispa
Okay, so when I had a Wispa bar it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! it's soft chewy and filled with chocolate and for that reason Wispa is number 5!







4. Cadbury's Marvellous Creations Popping Candy
So\I got a Marvellous Creations easter egg for easter and the bars inside were soooo Yummy!! There actually is popping candy in the bar the chocolate itself is really yummy! So Cadbury's Marvellous Creations Popping Candy bar is number 4!






3. Cadbury's Marvellous Creations Crunchy Nut
I also got this bar in an easter egg and it was really nice! I like nuts so I loved the bar and I thought it was just a tiny bit nicer than the popping candy bar. And for that reason Crunchy Nut bar is at number 3!






2. Teasers
Malteasers are my favourite mini chocolate snack so when they released a MALTEASER BAR it was the best thing EVER!!! The Teasers bar is a chocolate bar filled with Malteasers so it gets to be number 2!




1.......And number one is............................................Twix!!!!!!
Twix is number 1 on my favourite chocolate bar list by quite a bit. It's all the things I like caramelly, biscuity, crunchy, goey and chocolatey!! Twix deserves to be number one no question! So, Wispa, Popping Candy, Cookie Nut Crunch ( said the wrong thing ), Teasers and Twix are on my Seal of Approval! BYE WORLD!!!

Chicken wings

Hi guys!! Today CHICKEN WINGS are going on my seal of approval. I only had chicken wings for the first time recently and they were sooo YUMMY! I really should have had them earlier. I don't like chicken much but chicken wings are 

quite scrumptious! :P! Some chicken wings are spicy but I just eat mild wings.



Making your own chicken wings is also an option. But buying them in the store is WAY easier. On the other hand if you make the wings yourself ( well the chicken makes the chicken) I think there might be a recipe on www.Laurainthekitchen.com but if not just google it!


So, my verdict on chicken wings is...GRRRRREAT!!      They are healthy and yum yum!! I gotta go so BYEWORLD!!!

Happy Easter!!!!

Hello everyone and HAPPY EASTER!!!! Have a great day and I just realised since on this day I eat sooooo much chocolate that I should do a blog post on it. (Pretty picture) Even though it's pretty obvious that I love chocolate there are just so many things to say about chocolate.




1.It's seriously yummy and not that expensive.
You can buy a bar of chocolate for like, less than 2 Euro and it's TOTALLY delicious!!!!

2.You can drink it, melt it, put it in baking and eat it!
There are so many things to do with chocolate that you can't get bored. And hot chocolate is probably my favourite drink.

3. There are loads of different flavours of chocolate.
If you don't like say... milk chocolate, there will be other flavours (white,dark,orange,e.t.c.)

So, those are some of the reasons of which chocolate is AWESOME!!! And you can guess the my verdict for chocolate is...THUMBS UP!!!! Chocolate is YUM! Everyone have a happy Easter and BYE WORLD!!!

Cake pops!

Hallooo!! I haven't been in touch for a while but I've just been sooooo BUSY! I have baked LOADS of things and cake pops is one of them. Instead of rolling cake into a ball though, I used a cake pop mould. It's so much easier and just look how cute my cake pops look! Seriously they are just soo pretty! You can buy cake pop moulds in a lot of places, I got mine in Homestore and More but there's loads of places. You can also buy shaped  moulds like stars or cupcakes e.t.c. And of course you can always roll cake into a ball he old-fashioned way but I would NOT recommend that.






What I did to decorate my cake pops was make a few bowls of icing and dye the icing. I used pink, green and blue but you can use any colours you want. The textures of the icings were obliviously a bit different but it all worked out. I also dunked the cake pops into hundreds & thousands, sprinkles and gold balls. The gold balls just fell off but if you are making cake pops just dip them in sprinkles and small things.






 


Also if you are getting confident making cake pops try decorate them! Use fondant and buttercream to decorate your cake pops as you want. You need a steady hand and ingredients but it will be fun. There are some really cool recipes online like Stitch cake pops from Lilo and Stitch and minions and just anything! So, my verdict for cake pops is..... YAHOO!!!! Cake pops rule! \Make them and be proud of yourself! BYE WORLD!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hey guy's just wanted to say, have a Happy Mother's Day!!!! Willemijn!

Kinder bars

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I have blogged, I have just been so busy! Anyway, I made and tried a lot of things like Coconut Cupcakes, Lemon Drizzle Cake and many more! But I walking somewhere and people were just giving out free KINDER BARS! They had loads! So I took one and I had forgotten how nice they were! The milky milk chocolate bar and even though they're tiny you will find one bar is enough


There are also Kinder eggs and whatnot. You can also buy cheap Kinder bars and that is great because Kinder bars are kinda expensive. I JUST WANT TO EAT A KINDER BAR NOW!!!! I'm not really sure of anything else to say so I'm just going to finish up now. My verdict on Kinder bars is...... SUPERCALIFRAGALISTICEXPIALADOCIOUS! That's all I have to say about Kinder bars so...BYE WORLD!!!

Victoria sponge cakes

 Hi all! This morning I made mini Victoria sponge cakes! I just remembered how AMAZING they are! When it's all filled with cream and jam with jam on top. I have a SUPER SIMPLE cake recipe which pretty much only takes 10 minutes. I can't give you the recipe because it's in a book. There are millions of Victoria sponge recipes on the internet though.







Anyway, my verdict for Victoria sponge cakes is.....WOOHOO!!!!!! Victoria sponges are soo delish and easy to put together it doesn't seem possible. I will see you guys soon!

BYE WORLD!!!

Carrot cake

Yesterday I made carrot cake and it was surprisingly nice! I had never had carrot cake before but it is the best type of comfort cake. It is a little bit more of a complicated recipe than most other cakes seeing as you have grate to carrots and chop raisins in to tiny bits( I just put them in whole ). I know I said I didn't like raisins but if you don't look at them and just bite carrot cake is delish!! You can get carrot cake recipes anywhere on the internet and I am kinda in a hurry so my verdict for carrot cake is.. THUMBS UP!!carrot cake is awesome. And great comfort food. See you soon!




BYE WORLD!!!

Ice cream sundaes

Today ice cream sundaes are going on my seal of approval! Ice cream sundaes are sooooo good. Especially with toffee sauce and Maltesers and Crunchies on top. You can make them at home with just anything you have in your house. I have made them several times and they always taste the best! You can buy the special glasses to put the sundaes into but I just use a cup. Anyway, there's not much to say about ice cream sundaes so my verdict on ice cream sundaes is..............................................................YAY! Ice cream sundaes are the BOMB!!!!!! Come back tomorrow for my verdict on carrot cake which is cooling in my oven right now!






BYE WORLD!!!

Prawn Crackers

Today prawn crackers are going on my seal of approval! I was just snacking on some and they are just so nice! They are also very light and yummy. I normally get prawn crackers at the Chinese place or the supermarket.

Sometimes when I'm having rice for my dinner I scoop the rice on the cracker ad eat it that way. There's not that much to say about prawn cracker so I'll move on. My verdict about prawn crackers is....YAY!!!! Prawn crackers are a really nice snack and great for dinner meals. You can also make them yourself or just buy them in the supermarket but either way prawn crackers are AWESOME!!!!


ByE wOrLd!!!  :D

Nutella souffle

Today nutella souffle is going on my seal of approval. A few weeks ago, I bought some ramekins and decided to make.... nutella souffle!!!!! I got the recipe from Laura Vitale and the souffle was SOO GOOD it was not normal. I have made the souffle a few times since then. If you have ramekins make this recipe ASAP!!!!!





OK, my verdict for NUTELLA SOUFFLE is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Nutella souffle is the best chocolate dessert you can have on a cold winter night! So nutella souffles are officially on Willemijn's Seal of Approval!





Bye WORLD!!!  :D

M&M cupcakes!!

Hi all! Yesterday I made the most DELICIOUS M&M cupcakes ever!!! They were so good and just a milk chocolate cupcake with crushed up M&M frosting with an M&M on top. They were just so good they had to go on my blog. I got the recipe from http://cookiesandcups.com/mm-cupcakes/ and that website has loads of other cool recipes you can try out.

You have to say, they look soo pretty!!!! This is probably the neatest cupcake I have ever made (definitely neater than the peanut butter jelly cupcake either) and they tasted just as good.

Anyway, my verdict is....WOO HOO!!!! M&M cupcakes are the bomb!! See you guys tomorrow for something else to go on Willemijn's Seal of Approval!
