Just a Lot of Cupcakes. Enjoy!

2 Comments

Oh December, the month filled with lots of Christmas parties to go to~ AND the one time of the year where I find myself doing the most baking and dessert-making only to give it away because I don’t really like eating sweets (except candy haha).  :p

So, the other week I was talking to my friend Clinton about how I’d love to get the chance to only decorate desserts– no mess and no fuss in all the baking time and hand mixing and being tired by the time you get to decorating– just. pure fun. decorating.

And I really have such amazing friends because… bless Clinton. He made 24 cupcakes and called us over to decorate!!!

It’s my first time getting to use piping materials and FONDANT (thank you Alex for getting us beautiful fondant) to decorate. You’ll… kind of see how we started to get a bit tired throughout the night. But I think we kind of redeemed ourselves near the end (???).

Clinton made dinner for us! Some nice pad thai, it was his first time making it, not bad!

I brought some things for us to decorate the cupcakes with! It’s honestly a lot of Halloween candy. But this one in particular was from Japan! Do you remember those small star candy in spirited away?!

Can you guess what there is?! There’s actually some crushed cinnamon bark and sugar cane sugar. You guys need to check Clinton’s place out, he’s super prepared and fancy :p.

I got to try my Daiso piping tools for the first time! I also spent the longest time on this cupcake and probably most of my energy for that day too XD.

Orange zest with Clinton’s first time piping his nicely made buttercream on top.

I actually can’t remember if this is nutmeg on top mixed with some ground almond and cinnamon.

Clinton spent a beautiful amount of time on this super adorable snowman. Totally worth it, can you guess what candy is on top of his head?!

I got lazy in cutting it out prettily… Be prepared I got lazier as the night got older.

Alex made this cute little… animal? 😀

I wanted to try out the other tips for piping, and it was just meh, so I tried to save it by marshmallow petals… yeah..

OKAY. I CAN EXPLAIN. It’s not a cigarette okay?! It was supposed to be a cookie monster but I couldn’t find a cookie, so that’s a lollipop. LOLLIPOP.

This reminds me of Majora’s mask for some odd reason. Basically the story behind this cupcake is that I messed up pretty badly because of this ugly colour I made for the buttercream, but I think i covered it up pretty nicely eh?

PC094146.JPG

It looked a lot pretty in real life. Loved the smashed watermelon lollipop mmmMmmm.

PC094153.JPG

Clinton made an owl!! He’s mighty cute haha.

PC094154.JPG

Just a simple wreath. (Clinton couldn’t tell what it was D:)

Yes I didn’t post up all of them, but let’s end it off with this super cute mini cupcake on a cupcake! :D. I wish it had a tiny cherry on the top instead.

Hello Hello! A short and sweet post again 🙂

Let eat snow.JPG

I first came here to treat my family as it was Squirt’s birthday (it was actually within the first week they were open)! It was okay when we went, but I feel like they have improved a lot since then!

Nana and I came here again just to satisfy our sweet tooth before heading to our friend’s place. What did we try?!

So I actually asked the server for the cutest item on their menu but they couldn’t come up with a response. Luckily I saw someone order this and I knew I had to get it!

Presenting the mint white chocolate drink! I’d have to say it’s like any other white chocolate drink… I definitely wish it was hotter and that they filled up the cup with the drink more… at least to let the let eat snow logo show up better on the cup! (I know, I know… I feast with my eyes okay?? :P) I know they let you drink it with a straw, so maybe that’s why they made the drink cooler. But maybe they could’ve made it a tad bit warmer hehe.

AND MORE SPRINKLES. I NEED SPRINKLES haha.

You know what Nana got?! This super yummy Bubble Bing Earl Grey Milk tea Latte. I’m not too sure if this really counts as a latte… it reminds me of bubble tea hehe.

What’s nice is that you get your bingsu fix at the top and a drink! The “pearls” at the bottom is super yummy! It reminded Nana and I of grass jelly, but a more gelatinous version of it.

Cravings satisfied! Next time I really want to try more of their waffles and mochi cheese pizza!

Make sure to check out the Edmonton tab for reviews on restaurants!

-Love Mishy

Sprinkles make me feel warm inside :3 . . . . . #yegfood #dessert #hotdrinks #sprinkles #foodblog #foodie

With Late Nights, You can always count on Tomo!

Leave a comment

I forgot to bring my camera guys!!! Nuuu, I should just always bring it (knowing how spontaneous I can get sometimes :p)

Justin came up from Calgary and as tradition we do our last-minute meet-up. This happened on a Sunday late at night, like 10 pm. It always starts with “What should we do?” and then follows up with “Where should we go?” So we end up going to IZAKAYA TOMO, because you can always count on them opening till late!!

Justin pouring Tomo’s “pure” water (they sell this). When I asked them what would make their water better than Edmonton’s tap water (which is one of the cleanest and safest waters to drink by the way), they said it’s filtered more. With more probing they said it’s drinking soft water, so it has less calcium…

Oh my goodness, they had toro in the house!!! TOMO IS ALWAYS OUT OF TORO EVERYTIME I COME HERE. Well, except for this other time… But I was so excited they had it, MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH.

If I had my camera, you would see the glisten even clearer. All that fatty goodness bursting with flavour~

IMG_1317.JPG

Justin ordered some seaweed salad (so healthy). Not my cup of tea in terms of taste, BUT it is good for you so I would recommend it if you want to be healthy~

IMG_1318.JPG

Justin got some sashimi~ That IKA, SO FRESH. It reminded me of the ones from Tsukiji market. So creamy and sweet.

IMG_1314.JPG

This looks kind of strange but it’s… -drum roll-… BRUSSEL SPROUTS! Yes I know, it is kind of strange to order brussel sprouts at a Japanese restaurant. But believe me when I say they make some gooood brussel sprouts. It has a nice grilled outer layer, and the vinegary sauce with that parmesan cheese (I think it’s that, it’s a pretty sharp tasting cheese) makes a perfect combination. For anyone who doesn’t like brussel sprouts, they should definitely try this. (let me know if it changed your mind)

IMG_1326.JPG

I decided to be more adventurous and go try a new dessert~ The crispy honey bread served with vanilla ice cream and a coffee bean powder dusted on top. THIS IS HELLA GOOD. But very fried and not the healthiest haha (but oh well). It has a nice crispy crunch with a perfect amount of sweetness in the bread. I’m also a sucker for warm and cold contrasting desserts, so the warm bread and cold ice cream made it so yummy. Plus the coffee in there helped your taste buds take a break from an overload of just sweet honey.

Let’s end this post by another look at this beautiful toro. Look at the cut!

 

Love. Mish.

Is it bad I’m already ready for the next long weekend?… XD
