Gluten Free and Vegan 'Rolos'!Yes that's right- healthy! Not something that you often see on my blog =D<br />
<br />
But I wanted to make something for my best friend boyfriend's birthday and since he is a vegan I wanted to make him something sweet! This recipe was stolen from OhSheGlows and I have pretty much used a lot of her recipes-highly recommend them! So these are her <a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2012/10/17/homemade-rolo-knock-offs-vegan-gluten-free-5-ingredients/" target="_blank">Fake Rolos</a>!<br />
<br />
<br />
Basically 4 ingredients: 200g Dates, 1/2 tbsp peanut butter, 4oz dark chocolate (make sure it is suitable for vegans) and a touch of oil. (I used sunflower oil)<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

For the date I softened mines- The first time I tried it, I thought they were soft enough and they were a huge pain to blitz with a hand blitzer! So leave them to soak in a bowl of water and then drain them after a few hours and they are softer. Add the peanut butter to the dates and blitz them until they are smooth. I used a hand processor for this but I would definitely have preferred to use a food processor!<br />
<br />

Melt the chocolate and add some oil just to thin it out and make it easier to dip the dates into. I put a ball onto a teaspoon, dipped it in the chocolate, let it drain off a little and popped it only a non stick rolling mat, although onto a piece of greaseproof paper would work too. I usually keep them in the fridge but I think now keeping them in the freezer would be much yummier!<br />

I am also starting a new job on Monday so everything seems to be happening at once! I will probably do another post on my new flat just because I am doing lots of work in it. <br />
<br />
Anyway I have come to realize that it really is the small things, the micro pleasures, in life that make us smile while we go our day to day routines. <br />
In order to generally look on the brighter side of life I have decided to add a new something to my <a href="http://lets-cake-out.blogspot.co.uk/p/101-things-in-1001-days.html" target="_blank">101 list</a> which is to find 101 micro pleasures in my life! I have taken inspiration for this from 2 sources. The first is a book that I got as a present a couple of years ago called "How to be a goddess" by Gisele Scanlon. It is more focused to a girly audience as there is a lot of talk of fashion, shopping and traveling but it does make you cheer up while reading it! The second is from the 1000 awesome things blog, link, which although I started reading a couple of years ago, I was recently reminded of it and started reading again.<br />
<br />
So, here are my first couple of micro pleasures;<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFVpuI3GuUDWPhhF6B_ZMX8jX721HzezYM4wndBv385VMYEx8H0CoQj_-l5lclhyphenhyphenBKfJc43qt7nkjfOabTJFlTTddriN4_C_fkt6f45Ohah-LCRRkJK6j-MTTrN9RMxtGq_JMj0c1Aj9I/s1600/index.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFVpuI3GuUDWPhhF6B_ZMX8jX721HzezYM4wndBv385VMYEx8H0CoQj_-l5lclhyphenhyphenBKfJc43qt7nkjfOabTJFlTTddriN4_C_fkt6f45Ohah-LCRRkJK6j-MTTrN9RMxtGq_JMj0c1Aj9I/s1600/index.jpg" /></a><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">#1 That moment when you step out of the airport and the heat instantly hits you! </span></span><br />
<br />
Obviously this only applies to when you are going somewhere that is warmer than where you live, but since i am from Scotland this is not that difficult =P Feeling that heat warming you up cheers me up no matter how long i have been traveling!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-V8RblubGUReeLyG6YkGsayXfhaZg96TUnikvFJFWngqpwEzj2LTcWXS2PS_H-2zJki73uhsfCgaz4l19JYKVTTzW2wUeMPoZd3np86I4olhkU6u9LbqO76iSxnEu2c8Hp9r34et_70A/s1600/index1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-V8RblubGUReeLyG6YkGsayXfhaZg96TUnikvFJFWngqpwEzj2LTcWXS2PS_H-2zJki73uhsfCgaz4l19JYKVTTzW2wUeMPoZd3np86I4olhkU6u9LbqO76iSxnEu2c8Hp9r34et_70A/s1600/index1.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">#2 Waking up the next morning with no hangover!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">We have all been there- after a night out waking up and spending the next day not doing much apart from trying to keep the room from spinning too much! That's why it is the best when you wake up, expecting to feel like death and feeling normal and able to go about your day to day things! It feels like you have just scored an extra proper day!</span><br />

(Easy Present Idea!)So this coupon book I made for my boyfriend for his Easter present. If you are not sure as to what to buy someone for a gift then this is a thoughtful and nice idea! When I was look for ideas for mine, there was a lot of people who had made them for parents as well. <br />

I did this at work and I used a template for the label shape, lots of colourful paper, some stick on letters an Easter ribbon which I though was super cute and glitter glue. I do love glitter glues!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I looked online for different ideas because I think I made 20 in total but I guess some of the most common ones were 'massages', '3 course dinners', 'his choice of date night' and 'movie night of his choice'. I think the best ones though are ones that you have thought about that he would specifically like. My fella loves going out biking and he is always wishing I could go out with him. Because I have no time with my current job with working long hours it is kind of difficult but I added in a 'biking session' coupon! And obviously I looovvvvveeee making deserts so I made another coupon for 'choose any desert you want me to make you' :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is a lot of different styles of coupons that I have seen so you can have a lot of fun making them, I chose this shape just because I liked the idea of having coupons that looked like labels :)</div>

The ribbon looks a lil strange here but I just used a hole punch to make holes in 2 parts of the edge and put the ribbon through and tied it in a bow :) </div>

(Easter Bunny!)I think I am addicted to making cards now! =D This card I
actually made at work- I just took in a whole load of different crafty things
and between doing actual work I just tried to make this card. I actually had no
idea what I was going to do with this card until I had started making it but
apparently that is just how my brain works =P<br />

It was an Easter card for my boyfriend and as well as this I
made him a wee coupon book which I will probably post about next!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I wanted to base it around the phrase ‘some bunny loves
you’ just because I love cheesiness and I thought it was ridiculously cute! I
chose a blank green card and used that as a border because I wanted a yellow
background since it was Easter. The ‘grass’ was made using card of a similar
colour as the border and everything on the card apart from the letters were
stuck on with double sided tape. Since I was at work and didn’t have many
resources for the card, I looked up an outline for a rabbit, copied it and cut
it out with white paper. The ears, nose and mouth was accented with pink
glitter glue and the eyes with gold glitter glue. The eggs were just cut out
with pink paper and I added silver glitter glue for decorated Easter eggs =) I
totally had to improvise with the letters as I kept running out of different
styles but somehow I managed to fix some of the missing letters! <br />

Totally crossed that off of my<a href="http://lets-cake-out.blogspot.co.uk/p/101-things-in-1001-days.html" target="_blank"> list</a>!!
So I really like sending cards and recently I got introduced to making
cards by the queen of craftyness herself- Miss Jasmine at<a href="http://trashyelegance.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> trashyelegance.blogspot.co.uk</a><br />

I covered a blank card with the blue paper, cut out some
shapes of clouds using some funky scissors which cut out in wiggly lines (one
of the clouds I made into a heart shape…cheesy-yes!), used some glitter stuck
on letters for the message and I stole some of Jasmine’s cool bee ribbon. To
add in the ribbon use a pen knife to cut 2 slits which the ribbon will be able
to go through and then tie it in a bow at one end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I guess if you didn’t want to put a bow on
the ribbon then you could try and cut out the right amount of ribbon and
instead of tying it, stick it to the card and the inside of the card instead. I
don’t know how well this would work though and anyway, bows are much prettier =)
The letters were a little wonky because I was using different styles but
obviously I meant to do that =P </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I actually had a lot of help for this card from Jasmine-
pretty much everything crafty I am the worst at but overall I really like this
card and so did the boyfriend =D </div>

(How to make them!)So a couple of weeks ago I made some cake pops and took them into an office that I work at a couple days a week. I made pretty standard ones with chocolate cake, cream cheese butter cream and covered in white chocolate. One of the guys who works there ended up asking me to make a batch for him and his family and so here they are!<br />

He actually asked for them to be just plain and since they were for his kids I thought that I would cover them just in milk chocolate! I took some photos whilst I was making them so I could do a bit of a 'how to' on how to make them =)<br />

You can either make the cake yourself or if you want to save some time then just buy a ready made cake. Next, make the cake into a big bowl of cake crumbs! I usually do this with a fork and mash it all up but I know that a food processor would be much faster and you could get much finer crumbs.<br />
<br />
For the buttercream again you can make your own or feel free to just buy it already made. I don't actually measure out how much buttercream to cake I use so what you want is to make sure you put in enough to cover the cake and bind it together, but add it a bit at a time but too much will make the cake too moist and heavy to stay in one bit on the stick. <br />

I usually use about a tablespoon of the cake mixture and you want to roll it about in the hand in order to get the shape that you want- obviously the standard would be a circle! In order for the cake ball to stay on the stick easier, melt a little of the chocolate first and then dip one end of the stick into the chocolate and then push it into the centre of the ball. Usually I put the stick about half way/ 3/4s of the way into the cake. I bought a couple of the cake pop stands so I normally put these in there whilst making the others just so they stay up right. If you don't want to buy a cake pop stand then you could get a cereal box and pop some holes in one side of the box that will fit the sticks in. </div>

You can either pop these in the fridge for a couple of hours or the freezer for about 10-15 mins until the cake pops get hard- this just makes it easier to dip them into the chocolate. <br />

I melt my chocolate usually in a mug, because it is narrower than a bowl and with taller sides because it is easier to dip the cake pops in and out and being able to cover it all. When you melt the chocolate add a bit of oil, a little at a time. This helps to thin out the chocolate which means it is easier for the excess chocolate to drip off the cake and gives it a bit of a nicer shine. I used sunflower oil for these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Keep in mind when dipping them that you should cover all of the cake and even cover the top part of the stick so that there are no gaps. I have found that if you leave a little of a gap then some of the oil/liquid from the chocolate or buttercream tends to come through a little. While this is really not so much a problem, it doesn't look as pretty! Once most of the chocolate has dripped off, put the cake pop back in the stand and wait until dry. If the chocolate is too thin then you can put on another layer if need be. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I make these for friends or family, I usually just pop them in a box just as is but since it was a commissioned order, I bought some of the cellophane wrappers with ties, just to make them a little more professional!</div>

<br />
<br />
This was the first recipe that I have used from my Magnolia bakery recipe book that I got for Christmas! The original recipe actually uses butterscotch bits inst ead of white chocolate but I couldnt find any so I was stuck with more chocolate mmmmmm =D I ended up totally undercooking it, mailny because the last time I made brownies I cooked them a little longer than needed so it was more cake like than gooey. So these were very good heated up with ice cream or froyo! But for next time I will try cooking them a tad longer until a more browny like consistency. <br />
<br />
Here is the recipe (From More From Magnolia by Allysa Torey):<br />
<br />
65g (21/4oz) plain flour<br />
1/8 tsp salt<br />
55g (2oz) unsalted butter<br />
185g (10oz) plain chocolate<br />
2 eggs, at room temperature<br />
200g (7oz) sugar (I used caster sugar)<br />
2 tsps vanilla extract<br />
115g (4oz) toasted pecan nuts, chopped<br />
30g (1 1/4oz) butterscotch chips or white choc chips <br />
(I totally used more than that for white choc chips though!<br />
<br />
*** Toast pecans by putting them on a baking tray and in an over at 180, or 160 in a fan oven, for 15 mins, or until lightly browned and fragrant***<br />
<br />
-Preheat oven to 160, or 140 in a fan oven, and grease and lightly flour a 20x20-cm baking tin. <br />
-Combine the flour and salt and place to the side<br />
-In a medium-sized saucepan over a low heat, melt the butter with the chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and you want it to cool for 5-10 mins until lukewarm. <br />
-Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy. Add the vanilla and beat well. Next, add the chocolate mix and beat until well combined. Add the flour and salt and mix until well combined again. Stir in half of the pecans and butterscotchchips (or white chocolate!). <br />
-Spread the batter in the prepared tin and bake for 20 mins. <br />
-After 20 mins, take the pan out and spread the remaining pecans and chips on the top of the brown and return to the oven to bake for another 15-20 mins. You are going to want it baked until a toothpick/knife inserted in the centre of the tin comes out with moist crumbs attached.<br />
-Don't overbake!! <br />

I decided on lemon meringue because I was going to give a couple to Jasmine who was in the last couple days of her dissertation and yummy things at that stage is usually always helpful! Anyway, she loves lemon and when I mentioned this flavour to the boyfriend he also seemed to like that idea! <br />
<br />
So this was from a set of 2 recipe books that I got from Christmas and both were on mini desserts and pies- how cute!! <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcr4ZYc1u5xxVvuFiVXny2FSV7ZfS7GASqxo3dFuVNAwwy7nMHUp1wwZ0q6jD2GKu8kv4NUphffV8DnyJDn2fLzp8cZm9QwuSwiVCuYOpwPVEhDGB79jBq8rmA6KWLo5-vEtqp62OoEd4/s1600/IMG-20130319-00249.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcr4ZYc1u5xxVvuFiVXny2FSV7ZfS7GASqxo3dFuVNAwwy7nMHUp1wwZ0q6jD2GKu8kv4NUphffV8DnyJDn2fLzp8cZm9QwuSwiVCuYOpwPVEhDGB79jBq8rmA6KWLo5-vEtqp62OoEd4/s320/IMG-20130319-00249.jpg" width="240" /></a>The base was a biscuit base which you would make for a cheesecake and that is always my favourite part of a cheesecake so I was really excited! With this one you have to bake the base- I usually only refrigerate mines when I make a cheesecake or a banoffi pie so I was excited to try out this. I did end up putting wayyyy more in each base than I was supposed too because I was scared that they would fall apart if they would be too thin- that and I totally looooooovvvveeee the biscuit base =D <br />
<br />
The lemon curd was quite fun to make as well and very tart so very nice if you love lemon! All this was topped off with a big dollop of meringue and since I love meringue this was also my favourite part =D Because I totally messed up one part of the lemon curd just by mixing the wrong thing....what a silly moment!...it took a bit longer than I had hoped for but still it turned out well :) <br />

The most recent meal was a chickpea curry I made since I had bought a jar of korma sauce ages ago that I had not gotten around to cooking yet. So instead of chicken I used 2 cans of chickpeas, added a couple of peppers, an onion and sweetcorn!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_qIxY_uyU4KTlCJx6SsHIMcAsHUowfCu4XoZShfUEBrvKqGMCj5rwiixXrWiuLwnbtr8sBVnkruwc2vQbXWldsqohCq4TfD8kFc5nKg3qgQ2d95RaKmOAmYFdF4pBqlWkDqPsqgMqIVA/s1600/IMG-20130402-00278.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_qIxY_uyU4KTlCJx6SsHIMcAsHUowfCu4XoZShfUEBrvKqGMCj5rwiixXrWiuLwnbtr8sBVnkruwc2vQbXWldsqohCq4TfD8kFc5nKg3qgQ2d95RaKmOAmYFdF4pBqlWkDqPsqgMqIVA/s400/IMG-20130402-00278.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the chopped onion until golden, add the chickpeas and then cook for a bit before adding the sauce, peppers and sweetcorn until the peppers have softened a bit. Add any seasonings that you like and leave to simmer and cook through. Serve with rice or naan bread =D<br />

I actually need to think of new ideas for vegetarian foods that don't include chickpeas for a bit of variety so any ideas would be appreciated =D<br />

This Mother’s day I was actually really busy with flat
hunting and working so this cake actually I only spent about 6 hours over the
night and morning but I did have a big helping hand from my lovely boyfriend =D

I had no idea what kind of cake I was going to do even once
the cakes came out of the oven so it was a bit of a crazy mad rush! I
eventually decided on making a present cake with a bow on the top. I have
actually done this style of cake before in this <a href="http://lets-cake-out.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/birthday-present-cake.html" target="_blank">post</a> for a birthday cake so the idea
is one that can be make for lots of different occasions! I ended up making it
super girly and actually it would have been more suited to my style because I
am quite a bit more girly and love pink!</div>

I chose to do an apple cake spiced with cinnamon mainly
because my mum likes eating apples and although I have tried an apple cake
before it didn’t turn out right and so I needed a new apple cake recipe. I made
a new style of icing actually called the Swiss Meringue Buttercream, flavoured
with maple syrup and that was interesting to try out. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a meringue based buttercream, made by
whisking egg whites and sugar over a heat and then adding your butter and
flavourings. Both the cake recipe and the icing recipe were from the same website at <a href="http://www.raspberricupcakes.com/2011/03/spiced-apple-cupcakes-with-maple.html" target="_blank">Raspberri Cupcakes</a>. She also has other amazingly gorgeous looking recipes to try!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a lot of tutorials on how to do the bow
and I will
probably do a bow tutorial the next time I do such a cake =) I guess it
would
have worked a bit better with gumpaste, as does most finiky icing work,
but I think that marshmallow fondant is actually edible and yummy =)</div>

I wanted to try and make cake pops, just without the sticks,
to see if that was possible because I was concerned about how to get a smooth
finish on the chocolate if they had to dry on a baking sheet. I made a
chocolate cake with a cream cheese icing. This combo in cake pop form seems to
be a favourite as everyone seems to really like it!</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 516.75pt;">
I decided on a marble finish to
it just because I wanted something funky looking that I could try that I hadn’t
done before. I found a couple different photos of other peoples marble cake
pops so I gave it ago. It is pretty easy! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 516.75pt;">
Make the cake pops in the
standard way by crumbling a cake up and then mix through some buttercream so it
binds it together. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Take about a
tablespoon of the cake mix and shape it into a ball. Pop them on a baking try
and pop them in the freezer so that they harden up- usually takes about 10-15
mins. While that is happening, melt the chocolate. I used white chocolate but
in 2 different mugs- one just plain and the other with blue food colouring in
it. I usually add a bit of oil to my chocolate so that it goes a bit thinner
and it is easier to cover the cake pops. Since I didn’t put these on sticks I
used a fork to lower the cake pops into the chocolate and while the first
chocolate colour is running off of the cake I then drizzled on the second type
of chocolate. Move the cake pop around so that it creates different shapes and
lines and it should start drying quite soon. Then pop them back on the baking
tray and leave until they are dry! </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 516.75pt;">
I didn’t like that they ‘smudged’
a lot when they came off the fork and were put on the baking tray so I am going
to have to figure out how to stop that from happening- any tips then that would
be much appreciated =D </div>

As always my icing let me down! I swear one day I will have
absolutely perfect icing! Had my icing been more compatible with me then I
would have done a bee hive with the bee in the side of it! =D<br />

I made the cake carrot and the icing was a vanilla buttercream
with some cream cheese in it as well and then with yellow food gel it was dyed.

These were made by me and an Irish friend who wanted to make
a cupcake that had both whisky and coffee in them. I actually don’t like coffee
at all and whisky I can tolerate to a small extent so I wasn’t super excited
about this, but I wanted to try it out anyway! We actually used this recipe
from <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/314060/irish-coffee-cupcakes" target="_blank">Martha Stewart’s website</a> and I guess that if it is good enough for her then I would be
willing to try it! <br />

The only problem I had was piping the icing on. For some
reason piping bags and me just don’t get along whatsoever and my piping always
looks shocking! Obviously the only solution will be to keep making more icing
and then practise piping =D But if people do have tips on maybe what
consistency is best for piping or how they make nice icing on their cupcakes
then that would be fabulous! As you can see from above, there were some half
decent ones and then I just gave up and slathered on the rest of the icing =P</div>

So this was made for my best friend Jasmine for her
birthday! Here is a<a href="http://trashyelegance.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> link to her blog</a> - you should totally follow her if you want to make lots of awesome,
creative homemade things!</div>

So I decided a while ago that I wanted to try and make a
high heel out fondant. Most of the heels that I had seen online had been made
out of gumpaste which I have never tried to make before. Although I would like
to make it one day I much prefer working with <a href="http://lets-cake-out.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/how-to-make-marshmallow-fondant-ellen.html" target="_blank">Marshmallow Fondant</a> and wanted to
try and make it out of that even though I knew that it would be a lot trickier
to stay totally hard. So, here are the steps I took to make the shoe:</div>

My idea for the shoe was a red shoe with gold glitter on top
because Jasmine had previously glittered some of her shoes before so I knew
that she liked that effect. My glitter didn’t work out as well as I had hoped
and the effect turned out to be more like lustre dust on it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
One site I would highly recommend for tips and advice on
making gumpaste shoes with lots of examples in case you don’t know what time of
shoe you are going to do would be <a href="http://sugarteachers.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/how-to-make-gumpaste-high-heel-shoe.html" target="_blank">this site by sugarteachers.blogspot</a>.co.uk. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would recommend making the heel first. This gives it time
to hard up so once you put the sole on top it doesn’t fall. Remember and stick
a dowel, or depending how tall the heel is, a cocktail stick so that you can
stick the heel onto a polystyrene stand and the sole can have something to
stick onto. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ended up using a flat shoe
for the template- size 6- and using the same method as the <a href="http://lets-cake-out.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/trainer-cake.html" target="_blank">trainer shoe cake</a><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. </b>I
drew around the shoe and then cut a bit of cardboard out for the template. Using
the cardboard template again for a guide you are going to want to cute the same
shape out but with about 1cm off the edge so you get the inner sole- I used a
light pink for mine. This can be stuck on the main sole with edible glue or
even a little bit of water. As you can see in the 2<sup>nd</sup> photo I put
something underneath the heel because I wanted to support it. This was a 2litre
bottle I believe that I cut a section out of so it would stay round and then
got the size right so that it could fit under the shoe. </div>

This was the finished
shoe just drying off and ready to be put on the cake! I based my design on one
that I had seen on the sugar teacher’s site and I think that it didn’t turn out
too bad. The heel of the shoe was made purely with trial and error- figuring
how tall I wanted the back to be and then tapering this down until it met with
the sole of the shoe. The front was done in pretty much the same way- getting a
rough idea how much to put on the shoe and cutting it down until I got it to a shape
that I wanted. When I put the front bit on I left it to harden up by rolling up
some kitchen roll and putting it under to that the shape would stay ‘up’ and it
worked for me! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wanted it to say Vivienne Westwood just because that is
one of Jasmine’s favourite designers! And the red stripe on the front of the
shoe was made by painting on red food colouring with a little bit of vodka. </div>

The cake that I had actually made was a beetroot and
pistachio cake and this was definitely not my choice! I was not best impressed
that I would be making a cake with beetroot but actually I had to swallow my
words because tasting the batter before it even went in the oven was so
fabulous! And look at that colour! >>>>></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The cake did not turn out that bright after being in the
oven but the taste was still so fine and with the pistachios it was gorgeous! I
ended up just adapting a carrot cake recipe that I liked- substituting the
beetroot instead of carrot obviously and adding in chopped pistachios. I would
definitely recommend using beetroot in cakes!</div>

I did add other things onto the cake: It was supposed to be
a shoebox cake but next time I will work on it to make it more like a shoebox! And
I also added in some make up, nail polish, ‘tacky’ rings and some pearls to
make it more girly!</div>

These I made back in January just on a whim- I don’t remember
the last time that I had made pastry before then so I decided to give them a
go! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was actually 4 different parts to these tarts- The
pastry, the spiced apple pieces, the custard and the oaty crumble that you can
sprinkle on top to give it a bit of a crunch! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I got this recipe from Lily Vanilli’s Sweet Tooth recipe
book which I got as a Christmas gift and before then I had never actually heard
of her. Her recipes seem quite modern and interesting and if I am ever in
London again then I would perhaps go to her bakery for a wee taste =)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, anyway, I really liked this recipe and I wouldn’t mind
practising it again so I could get it perfect. For a winter’s treat it is very
nice with the spiced apples but I am sure that you can substitute this for
berries if you wanted something more summery! </div>

some pastry posts coming up in the future! </div>

There really isn't much that is tastier and satisfying than a home cooked loaf of bread! With the crusty layer on the outside that you have to bite through to reveal the soft tasty bread on the inside I believe that it is one of the finest eating pleasures! It really makes me wonder why anyone would want to go carbs free...<br />
But alas, for the first time I decided to try and make some of this yummy food and here is the result.....<br />
<br />
I ended up using the recipe in the Great British Bake Off cookery book from last year and it is the bread that they had to make in the technical challenge- the plaited loaf! I thought my first bread should be a nice easy one =P I actually chose this one because I thought it would impress on my application form for the Great British Bake Off but it however did not...but still very interesting to make =D<br />
<br />
<br />

So first thing is making the dough-<br />
<br />
500g strong white bread flour in a bowl with 10g salt on one side of the bowl and 2x7g sachets of yeast on the other side. You don't want these to touch or the salt can kill the yeast. Add 20ml olive oil and mix until everything is combined. If using you hand it can get prettttttty messy! <br />
<br />
<br />
So, you will need 40 ml of water at room temp but for now add 3/4 and bring the mis together and then work in the rest of the water.<br />
<br />
I found it pretty hard to knead it after this so if there are any tips of kneading bread at this stage I would love to hear them! At this point you want the dough to be "slightly soft but not sticky, nor dry and tough"<br />
<br />

It should only take an hour to double in size. I actually went shopping during this time so was more like a couple of hours for me!<br />
<br />
<br />
This is actually the super fun part! Knocking back the dough by giving it one punch in the middle of the bowl and then it totally gets gets all the air out. Check it out!<br />

Once measured roll out the bits into long sausage shapes measuring about 40cm. At one end group all of the strands together so it looks like a bit of an octopus like this>>>>><br />
<br />
<br />
The sequence for the plait is as follows:<br />
1- 8 under 7 and over 1<br />

Repeat steps 2-5 until it is all braided!<br /> I think I managed to do a wrong step because my braids were very uneven by the end! But once its all braided tuck in the ends so that it is all neat.<br />

Leave it to proof again for about an hour and then brush it all over with a beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 mins in a preheated oven in 200C. Let me know if you guys have any experience making bread then let me know what you made and how you find making bread! =D <br />

With a mix of being super busy and my laptop being away for the last month to get repaired I have not gotten many chances to sit down and blog. But I have made a lot of things since my last post so I will be updating you all on my baking adventures =D<br />
<br />
I have actually completed one of my <a href="http://lets-cake-out.blogspot.co.uk/p/101-things-in-1001-days.html" target="_blank">101 in 1001</a> to dos! No 81 Apply for the Great British Bake Off<br />

<br />
I totally did put in an application! But I don't think that I got in because I got no response- very sad! My goal of getting Paul Hollywood to fall in love with me and bake me bread everyday has fallen through so I might have to rethink my life plan! <br />

I have also just realized that I have also managed to complete number 27- Get more than £2000 in my savings account! This actually took me a lot longer than I had expected just because once I came back from the states I had to take out from my savings money for a deposit and rent for a flat. But finally this has been completed!<br />
<br />
Not much else has been going on with me however but my next couple of posts should be coming up soon =D<br />
<br />
In other news I have been 22 for the past month and a half and so far I have not felt all that much grown up! However for me and my best friend Jasmine's birthday we did have a lovely spa afternoon so I can tick off having a spa day at number 51!<br />

<br />
We ended up going to the <a href="http://zenspaaberdeen.com/" target="_blank">Zen Spa</a> in Aberdeen. Now since I have never been to a spa before in my life I have nothing to compare it with but I had a nice time actually! We ended up getting one of the new year promotions that was going on and perhaps I wouldn't have paid the full price for it but we ended up getting a full body exfoliation, a body wrap, a miniature facial and a quick manicure! I don't have any pictures from it mainly because it really wasn't a time to say cheese and I was super relaxed that I didn't really want to move at all! My body was actually sooooo smooth and relaxed afterwards!<br />
<br />
If anyone has any spa recommendations in Aberdeen then that would be fabulous or even their favourite treatment- I definitely think that I would like to go for a spa day again and would love to hear people's recommendations =D <br />

The bottom layer was carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting and covered in marshmallow fondant and the top layer was a chocolate cake filled and covered with chocolate ganache- a chocolate heaven!<br />
<br />
The wee snowmen and Christmas trees I made a couple of days before and they were made out of marshmallow fondant. I didn't actually have any cutters that would have helped so instead I just used a fondant embellisher for an outline and then cut them out with a small sharp knife. The little stars were made with a plunger cut out for stars which is a very handy tool =) And I used liquid gels to paint on the wee details and let them dry overnight.<br />

I was really happy with how smooth the ganache went on to the cake and what a professional look it gave to the cake. I am pretty sure that i might have tried to use ganache before but wasn't as convinced but now I honestly want to use ganache for everything! If only you could make it in a fat free way! I decided to make a brick effect since it was to be a chimney which obviously means you cant see how smooth it is but next time =P<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I do wish that the carrot cake had the height of the chocolate cake but I forgot how dense carrot cake is! then the proportions of the cake would have been better for the idea of the cake I think. But I guess too much chocolate cake can never be a bad thing! <br />

They were from a blog that I have mentioned before because for vegan foods, this blog has so many different ideas:<br />
<a href="http://ohsheglows.com/recipage/?recipe_id=6001702">http://ohsheglows.com/recipage/?recipe_id=6001702</a><br />
<br />
I believe that I used plain flour instead of the whole wheat flour and I don't have any coconut oil so i used vegetable oil instead and it seemed to work.<br />
<br />
This recipe is really easy as well- just one bowl to mix the dry ingredients and then add in the mixed wet ingredients.<br />

Then put into wee even sized balls, pop on a greaseproof paper on a baking tray and bake and once they come out of the oven, pop them on a cooling rack and then devour! i actually really like these as a wee snack...or just a big snack by eating a whole plate of them =D </div>

If I have a better year filled with happiness then I sure wouldn't complain! To be honest if I can get most of my<a href="http://lets-cake-out.blogspot.co.uk/p/101-things-in-1001-days.html" target="_blank"> 101 in 1001</a> list done then I will be very happy! So I thought I would do a wee update on the last things I managed to check off in 2012:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYHB2mgNmIxP8oZLknObYCFgmBearAb92vcv8tBpBf-QXvBc5fh3KUQU9oij9LBOfccrANqNkypKkAXEu3GLSfKy0EvDCgSYByqO-TvNcPCUzxY9i85Cu6gnMgkqrvsI4J4p8C2Naazpo/s1600/IMG-20130102-00148(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYHB2mgNmIxP8oZLknObYCFgmBearAb92vcv8tBpBf-QXvBc5fh3KUQU9oij9LBOfccrANqNkypKkAXEu3GLSfKy0EvDCgSYByqO-TvNcPCUzxY9i85Cu6gnMgkqrvsI4J4p8C2Naazpo/s200/IMG-20130102-00148(1).jpg" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOKGydYbXSNTHQZZz3gKL3IJN2OUT7wlfIVWhzdl52K7CRVIg1mDEv0uBKwwbRMqP0o4iLPdP06ItvSXMSw-oJVJMABP6mQoXucJeOOpIGN127cFruiVPFByJiMXsOc1kCOMvZ36g-Hk/s1600/IMG-20130102-00146.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOKGydYbXSNTHQZZz3gKL3IJN2OUT7wlfIVWhzdl52K7CRVIg1mDEv0uBKwwbRMqP0o4iLPdP06ItvSXMSw-oJVJMABP6mQoXucJeOOpIGN127cFruiVPFByJiMXsOc1kCOMvZ36g-Hk/s200/IMG-20130102-00146.jpg" width="150" /></a>-18: Finally get my prescription for my glasses<br />
<br />
I actually got my prescription for my glasses last year but I put off actually buy them for several reasons- denial that my eyes aren't perfect, choosing the perfect pair of glasses and the money that I was saving was going towards my America trip. But after a lot of squinting and blurriness I finally chose 2 pairs of glasses and can now see!<br />
<br />
<br />
-37: Go to the theatre or pantomine<br />
<br />
I went to see the <a href="http://www.improvisedshakespeare.com/" target="_blank">Shakespear Improvised</a> show when I couch surfed this summer in New York and it was super fabulous! I would recommend that anyone who gets a chance to go should grab the opportunity! Each show is completely different so I would definitely go again! I did hear that they have come over to the Edinburgh fringe festival in previous years so hopefully UK people will get a chance to see them.<br />
What they do is get someone in the audience to shout out a theme or a title that they will use and they take about 20 seconds to think about the title. After one of the guys makes up a monologue about the title then they do an hour long play in the style of Shakespeare! Here is a wee clip of them:<br />

-72: Learn Spanish<br />
<br />
This is something that I have wanted to do for quite some time and it is always on and off but the last couple of months I have been slowly learning in my spare time during work! I actually bought the Spanish version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Spaish like 4 years ago so have cracked that open to learn a little of it! I recently went on a trip to Valencia for 3 days and this totally helped a lot, just to be around lots of Spanish speaking people! Just need to make a lot more trips out to Spain I think :D<br />

<br />
I have finally manned up and had an attempt at making macaroons! They were made for part of my best friend, Jasmine's, Chritsmas present and didn't turn out so badly. I did look at a couple of articles on making macaroons before I started making them which helped an awful lot!<br />
I used the French method to make them which seemed to work for me. Maybe one day I will also try the other method to compare which is easier and has better results though. The French method takes a little less technical work but you do have to let the macaroons rest for between half an hour to an hour before popping them in the oven.<br />
<br />
I did read that it is better to have one or two day old eggs so you can do this by separating the egg whites and storing them in the coldest part of the kitchen (usually this is the back of the fridge). When I made them I didn't have time to 'age' the eggs so in order to imitate this effect a good tip is to separate the eggs and microwave them on medium/high for 10-20 seconds.<br />
<br />
Here is the basic recipe for the standard macaroon:<br />
3 egg white (or 100g weighed)<br />
50g granulated sugar<br />
200g powdered sugar<br />
110g ground almonds<br />
<br />
Whisk the egg whites and granulated sugar together until you get stiff peaks. If you the eggs slide around the bowl when you try and turn the bowl upside down then you should keep whisking. Once the eggs start defying gravity then stop whisking! Now sift the icing sugar and almonds together. I used already ground almonds but if you want to be fresher then feel free to measure out 110g of almonds and put them in a processor with the powdered sugar and grind it all up to a powder and then sift it in a bowl. Next is a crucial stage; mixing the egg whites into the almonds and sugar. Once you over mix this mixture it can be a disaster! At first you should incorporate the mixture with fast strokes because you do need to break down the mix but after about 20-30 strokes start to slow down so that you can get a feel of how the mix feels. You should be aiming for a smooth mix and if you put a small amount on a plate the top should flatten itself. If there is still a peak then keep mixing but go slower because it is better to under than over mix.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju90ubGyminKdBJYRsCeqxyFxQt4vQA-VUp8QiUpEpR8yVri7I6hY5dhCo2EZ41LpWsviKMhltIiLc4gEUmIwtezhJUBYkgzz17eZuM7wH94d45vqDDq0cMYJnTpruISguf9k0_dHSQ_I/s1600/IMG-20121220-00098.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju90ubGyminKdBJYRsCeqxyFxQt4vQA-VUp8QiUpEpR8yVri7I6hY5dhCo2EZ41LpWsviKMhltIiLc4gEUmIwtezhJUBYkgzz17eZuM7wH94d45vqDDq0cMYJnTpruISguf9k0_dHSQ_I/s400/IMG-20121220-00098.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
If you are wanting to add colour or flavours to the mix you should add them right after you start to incorporate and break up the mixture as this means it gets fully incorporated without needing to over mix. Powdered flavours and colours work best as adding extra liquids might make the mix weird! I added liquid lemon flavour but I only added a little bit so I don't think it affected the mixture too much.<br />
<br />
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag and pipe circles on greaseproof paper on a baking tray, making them about 1.5in in diameter. A good idea is to draw out the circles before hand so you can get them the right size although keep in mind that this mixtures spreads, something that I obviously did not think about! <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Once the macaroons are piped you need to let them rest for about an hour in order to rest and this helps create the 'feet' you see in macaroons. You know when they are done resting when you are able to touch the top of the macaroon and it is not sticky because it has created a 'skin'. Once you achieve this pop them in a preheated oven at 300 Farenheit or 148 celsius. They will be cooked in about 10-12 minutes, depending on the size you make them. Once they are cooked leave them to cool before filling them. <br />
<br />
The filling that I made for these was a buttercream, with some lemon flavouring, as Jasmine wanted something lemony! You can be quite creative with the fillings with buttercreams, ganaches, jams and spreads!<br />
<br />
Since I haven't actually eaten a proper macaroon I don't know how mines compared to the French proper ones but I would for sure recommend making them because they are very yummy! =D<br />

I also copied it from the same blog as the enchiladas. If you are looking for super healthy vegan recipes then definitely a blog to check out!<br />
<a href="http://ohsheglows.com/">ohsheglows.com</a><br />
So the recipe I used was baked apples with pecans and oatmeal with maple syrup:<br />
<a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2012/10/23/baked-apples-stuffed-with-cinnamon-date-pecan-oatmeal/">http://ohsheglows.com/2012/10/23/baked-apples-stuffed-with-cinnamon-date-pecan-oatmeal/</a><br />
<br />
This isn't my usual type of dessert but I thought I would give it a try. To be honest it is one that heated up in the morning would make a super awesome breakfast! I used red royal gala apples which held up well in the oven. I heard quite a lot of stories of apples going mushy in the oven so if you are thinking of baking apples then check out what apples are best first!<br />
<br />
The hardest part of this recipe to be honest is the coring of the apples-I don't have a corer so I had to just use a paring knife, just be careful when you do this!<br />
<br />
Apart from the coring all you have to do is mix everything but the apples in a bowl:<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pretty gross to look at but it does taste good! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After this put the apples in a lightly greased baking tray and pack in the mixture into the apples as much as you can- You will have quite a bit extra left so just pour it around the apples. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Again, not the most appealing for a photo!<br />
And once they come out the oven, the apples should still have a bit of a crunch to them, the oats will be cooked and all the milk will be soaked up!<br />
If you guys have any vegan desserts that you would like to share then feel free as it would be nice to know how to do yummy desserts that are completely vegan!<br />

Since he is vegan I decided to do a vegetarian main and dessert. I have never thought much about eating vegan or even vegetarian all of the time so it was something to think about while I was planning on what to make. I ended up making sweet potato enchiladas and I will put my dessert on my next post! The recipe was inspired by a blog which is pretty popular by a lady called Angela who writes vegan recipes and on living healthily and running marathons! Here is a link to her blog:<br />
<a href="http://ohsheglows.com/">ohsheglows.com</a><br />
So the recipe I based mines on was from this link:<br />
<a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2011/05/04/vegan-enchiladas-with-cilantro-avocado-cream-sauce-2/">http://ohsheglows.com/2011/05/04/vegan-enchiladas-with-cilantro-avocado-cream-sauce-2/</a><br />
<br />
I made it using everything but the yeast, cumin, garlic powder or chilli powder but added coriander, garlic paste, tomato paste and I added extra peppers. Depending on what you have in your spices cupboard and the vege you have in the house the recipe can be very versatile! Here is everything cooking before being put into the wraps:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFBDkwthazbXog_2vrHupwNSAjE0TO5G01tnFTyH9uPesYRxt_G7-NzxKmwpXJ0gI3BBoFA6h8IxbbeShILcl0fyuCJRvNv92IKd7NlzPFBwNSkOEWyElIhJ3hRNelF-gNdp1R77Bn4Q/s1600/GetAttachment.aspx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFBDkwthazbXog_2vrHupwNSAjE0TO5G01tnFTyH9uPesYRxt_G7-NzxKmwpXJ0gI3BBoFA6h8IxbbeShILcl0fyuCJRvNv92IKd7NlzPFBwNSkOEWyElIhJ3hRNelF-gNdp1R77Bn4Q/s320/GetAttachment.aspx.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once I got everything ready to be wrapped I ended up making a complete mess of things- apparantly I am not very neat at making wraps! Luckily once you cover the wraps in more of the sauce and some spring onions you don't notice the messyness!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
We had this with the avocado cream sauce-a little bit like guacamole! If I were a vegan, a good guacamole would definitely be what I would live off of! Anyway let me know of any other vegan recipes that you guys have tried- I would like to see what other vegans eat even if I couldn't be a vegan forever!<br />

This was possibly one of the coolest things that I did this
summer! I absolutely love watching Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss and since I was
staying with a host in New Jersey we went one morning to visit where the magic
happens! Since I stayed in New Jersey for a few days I managed to complete one of my list- to visit 3 new states in America!</div>

Since the host, Rio, had a driver’s license from Hoboken New
York we got to skip the general line! When we went there was a line of about
over 50 people waiting outside and when we went in there was quite a lot of
people already in there. Overall it was a nice experience but unfortunately we
did not see any of the cast which was very sad! =( <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It has been way too long since my last post and since I am chilling at home for Christmas for a couple of days its time to update! After my trip to North Carolina I ended my summer by going
to New York so I could visit a new state and check it off of my 101 in 1001 list. I spent the first 5 days in a hostel with Gosia, a girl that I
worked with all summer before couch surfing for another couple of weeks!
Although I wasn’t as excited about going to New York as some people might have
been, it definitely was an experience! After going to all the tourist places
with my friend and once she left I lived with some locals which helped to see
New York in a different light =D </div>

Here are just some of the pics that I snapped whilst there!</div>
