Throwback Thursday: Beautician in the making!


This is a picture of me and my sister taken years ago! It just shows that I always had some interest in being a beautician or doing something beauty related! 
From the cheeky grin on my face I must think I'm doing a terrific job but my sister's face tells a completely different story!! She doesn't look to pleased! 

Tutorial Tuesday: Cupcake Pops!!

Heya Uguys 😊

Yet again another baking tutorial! I promise next week will be beauty related because Im no Gordan Ramsay and they're isnt alot of more things I can bake/cook!

Anyways, this week Im going to show ye how to make these yummy cake pops! I think these cake pops are such a neat idea! Sometimes, and I stress "sometimes", I do find cupcakes/muffins can be a little too much and you just want a lil treat! These are perfect and would be such a cute idea for any type of party! Anyway heres how I made them! 

                      Yum!!

The receipe for the cake pops themselves are the exact same as the cupcakes I made for last weeks tutorial. So check out that tutorial to make the actual mixture and to get the ingredients for these pops! When the mixture is all blended and made,follow these few easy-peasy steps! 

1.Once the mixture is made, spray a little bit of olive oil on the tray and scoop it up and divide it into the lil container like this one below that you can get at most homeware shop,at the moment anyways cause cakepops are all in right now! 😜 


Fill it nearly to the brim. Make sure not to make them too full as they will overflow and your pops will turn into a messy,lumpy cake!!! Not cool!

2.Once you have all the dips full, cover it over with the top of the baking container . 


3. Place in the oven at 180c for about 20 minutes. 

4. Once cooked, remove them from the container and pop a lollipop stick in the bottom of each pop and leave them cool on a stand for 5 minutes. I didn't actually have a stand so I handmade one out of the box the baking tray came in, as you'll see in the final picture! I'm a genius!! 😜👓 

5. Once you left them cool for around 5 minutes, its decorating time!! Again I used chocolate and sprinkles like I did for my cupcakes but you can use whatever you like! 

And you're done! Yum yum yum in my tum!

 My cake pops & fantastic stand!

Enjoy! 😊

Tutorial Tuesday: Yummy Cupcakes in 5 easy steps!

Hey Uguys! 😊
I'm going to start this section every week called "Tutorial Tuesday" just so my blog has a bit more structure and what not! Its going to be mainly beauty related tutorials but like my life anything can happen and I could just write about that! 

Like todays tutorial! Everytime I go to a family get together or party I'm always asked to either bring my cupcakes or asked about them there and they really are the simpliest things to make so I said why not share it. So without further adieu.....my first tutorial: yummy 5 minute cupcakes 😊

Ingredients: 1:Cupcake mix
                   2:3 eggs
                   3:100mls of cold water
                   4:Half a bar of                    
                   cooking chocolate
                   5:Decorations of your 
                   choice (optional)


Step 1: Empty contents of cupcake mixture into a large mixing bowl and stir until all this little bumps and lumps are gone! 


Step 2: Create a hole in the middle of your mixture. Beat 3 eggs in a separate bowl and gradually add beaten eggs to the larger mixing bowl and knead it in with the dry ingredients. 


Step 3: Once all 3 eggs have been added and you are left with a thick paste consistency, gradually add 100mls (3/4 of a pint) of cold water until your mixture is smooth. 


Step 4: Baking part finito! Add this mixture into little cupcake dividers. This mixture makes about 9-12 cupcakes! Place them in the oven at 180c for 20-25 minutes. 


Step 5: Decorating 😊 My fave part!! Once the cupcakes are baked leave them cool down for about ten minutes before you start to decorate them. When they are ready melt your cooking chocolate for about 1 minute in the microwave and swirl your cupcakes around in them to make them yummy and chocolatty!! Add sprinkles or any other desired decoration and you're done 😊 
Enjoy 😊❤️


     YUM YUM YUM IN MY TUM!!
