Rainbow Cupcakes~

First attempt at making rainbow cupcakes! It was a success! I'm so happy~

We modified some from the recipe so here's the modified one:

Simple White Cake (original: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/simple-white-cake/)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk

Directions

The separated batters
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch pan or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth. 
  3. Add in 1/4 cup of flour at a time until you reach desired consistency. (separate from the initial 1 1/2 cups flour) Also add 1/4 teaspoon baking powder. (separate from the initial 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder)
  4. Separate the batter into 6 or more portions (one for each color). Decide which color and mix.
  5. Pour or spoon batter (one color at a time) into the prepared pan. 
  6. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. For cupcakes, bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.

Staring blankly

That moment when you just stop and stare at absolutely nothing precise. You're just looking at that part not focusing or fixated at anything and you don't know why.

I don't know why or how that happens but apparently, that happening makes you lose brain cells.

I think we should just appreciate that minute or second when you're just staring blankly, because for a moment there, you weren't thinking about any problems or worries. With all your problems, or up coming problems, a second or minute of nothing would be greatly appreciated. We should cherish those short moments, we don't really have control over them.

Welcome me

again.


Upon further review we have determined that your blog was mistakenly marked as a TOS violator by our automated system and, as such, we have reinstated your blog.

I got that reply when I sent a message complaining because they deleted my blog. They called it a spam. I'm sorry! I'm new to this and I am definitely going to learn. This, I tell you, will be one of the best blogs ever! Lolokay, I'm joking.


The reason why I wanted a blog spot is because I have so much thoughts in my mind and I never get to share them or express them. A reason is because I am too lazy to go write on a journal or something. I guess I stopped the whole diary thing. I hope I could commit to this blog because after designing it, I am quite proud.
