Today's Bake: Red Velvet Cupcakes

today was a great day spent with old friends! it felt incredible to catch up with them over baking, playing michellin-star chefs, shouting over wii controls (and bickering over who's better at driving) and chilling at the poolside.

most pictures were taken during our baking session. the cupcakes turned out pretty well, and the vanilla cream cheese icing was heavenly! (drool over the pictures to come)

at some point in time, we decided, heck with the amount of care we took while sprinkling the rainbow sprinkles onto the icing. thus, we recklessly emptied them onto the icing, occasionally sending showers of rainbow to the otherwise pristine tablecloth.

later on, when there were no adults at home, we decided to play adults ourselves. no baking/cooking session would be complete without a proper set-up right? yes, we decided to be michelin star chefs, going about setting up the classiest and most professional looking 'tea-time table' with the available props.

i wouldn't say it looked all that bad!

that concluded our baking session, which was filled with laughter and mischievous ideas (which we tried to put into action, such as pouring red dye into water so that it would look like wine; however, instead of that, we used apple juice, fearing that red dye may be too much of a hassle)

it was a day well spent with friends that i'm truly comfortable with. hope that we can remain good friends for a long time to come!

love, natalie
