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!!!
BYE!!!

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!!!
