Oh Oreo!

I was looking through my pantry and saw Oreo cookies which nobody wants to eat. So what a better way to make use of them and whip up a bash of Cookies and Cream Cupcakes. My sister loves cookies and cream so why not? I'm not a big fan of cookies and cream but as long as my loved ones like it, I'm willing to bake it ;)

I also got carried away with snapping. I baked it during Christmas and my mum had laid out nice tablecloths in the living room so I decided to take pictures there and got a little carried away....here are the pictures, hope you like them!





I took this cupcake recipe from one of my fav food bloggers from "howtoeatacupcake". You can find the recipe here.

Btw, I missed out the "s" in Cookies in the pictures...I was too lazy to edit them again....but yeah you should try out the recipe. Only next time, I think I will add more Oreos in the recipe :)

This is one good cupcake I tell ya!

This FAIRY RASPBERRY cupcake is from this recipe book a friend of mine bought for me for Christmas last year...the funny thing was that I saw that Cupcake book from MPH and wanted to get it myself but didnt wanna spend the extra cash on it, little did I know that my friend got it for me as my Christmas gift! I didnt even mentioned it to him one bit about this Cupcake book which I wanted. He just knows me well enough or perhaps its some phychic thing.....ANYWAY, I wanted it mainly because of the adorable silicone tray!


Recipe called for blueberries but I only had raspberries at home so I used them instead. The cupcake turned out really moist and delish. Will post up the recipe once I have more time.


I didn't have a big piping bag with me so I had to use a small piping bag. I wanted a nice big swirl for the icing but failed...better luck next time BUT looks are deceiving, the icing was really good too! Pureed some raspberries with icing sugar and butter. And the raspberries gave it a pink colour. Sweet!

O where art thou are the nice cupcakes?

So the girls and I decided to go to this really nice cafe which we all love the different kinds of cupcakes they have.

It's Paisley and Cream located at Central @ Clarke Quay. We really like this cafe because the interior is nicely decorated in a chic french style with pictures of Audrey Hepburn lining against the wall and the last time we tried the cupcakes, they were moist and 75% satisfying.

BUT not this time...we went a couple of weeks ago and the cupcake turned out dry, too crumbly and I have to say a little bland too.

We ordered our all time favourite the Toberone Cupcake and a classic vanilla cupcake. However, both were dry and like I said, didnt taste as good as we remembered.

Props goes to presentation though....
