Serah Nicole's Christening goodies

My friend requested that I make cupcakes for her daugther's cristening, I have posted a Serah project plan board a few days ago but some of my plans didn't quite come out successfully. The supposedly pink starberry flavored cupcakes did not stay pink after baking and I didn't have enough time to make the rainbow cookies. I have decided also, to go stawberry on stawberry and chocolate on mocha, that way the flavors won't be confusing to kids who will be at the party. My mixer also gave out the day I had frosting duties that I have to go out and buy a replacement in a rush, giving me just anough time go get everything together whew!

whole-y moley wheat bread!!!

I have been trying to master making bread using whole wheat flour, my first attempt was a complete failure even though I followed the recipe exactly. I don't know where I went wrong but the 'bread' didn't rise even after a couple of hours. I still went n to bake it and though it was edible to texture was not fluffy as shown in the you tube video tutorial but very dry and crumbly - almost like the puto seko of my childhood... I continued to search for recipes and finally decided on combining methods from 2 recipes - and it was a success! Whole Wheat Bread Loaf: ingredients: - 2 1/2 cup whole wheat flour - 1 cup plus 2 tbsp water - 1 tsp yeast - 2 t tbsp oil (I used olive oil) - 1/4 tsp salt how to: - bloom yeast in lukewarm water about 5-10 mins or until frothy - add half cup of flour, mix until combined and set aside for about 30 mins. The mixture will rise and be frothy - add the rest of the flour and mix just until combined, rest again for 30 mins - turn the dough ...

The most egg-cellent sandwich ever!

Japanese Egg Sandwich Ingredients: - 3 soft boiled eggs, peeled - 1 1/2 tbsp. mayonnaise - 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard - 2 sliced sandwich bread - 1 cup shredded cabbage (wilted with a pinch of salt) *** optional - salt and pepper to taste how to: - chop 1 egg and combine with mayo, mustard, salt and pepper in a bowl - spread over a bread slice, top with the remaining 2 whole egg - top with wilted cabbage - cover with remaining bread slice pressing slightly to hold the shape. - slice and serve
