#52 - AUTUMN SUNSET

Hi! So my mum and I made a cake together this past weekend. I've been looking at rainbow cakes/ red velvet cakes recently and was just itching for some. U can have a look at Cupcake Jemma's rainbow cake, it was totes uhmazing. ;P Plus, my mum wanted to bake something and to try something new. So, we present to you Autumn Sunset cake. *hits cymbals*

We didn't have that many colors of the rainbow so we made do with what we had. Orange, pink and purple were our best options. We used a butter cake recipe which me and my bro loved! To create this cake, we had to split the batter into 3 portions and color each one individually.

The making of the batter was easy. The coloring and measuring were the more tiring ones. What I mean by tiring was how we had to be precise in our coloring because we wanted a specific color. The measuring plays a big role because we wanted each layer to come out the same way evenly and equal. So, more details had to be looked into these two areas.

Overall, the outcome turned out good! The cake was tasty and firm. The layer of cream cheese blended well with the cake as it wasn't too sweet but was a nice touch to end off the bite. 

Thanks for reading and be blessed, x. 

#51 - WILD SCHOOL BELLE

Boo. Well yeah, its Halloween season ain't it? Instead of all that gory makeup and "figure of imagination creature" looks, I thought I'll do something more glamorous(?) I don't claim or try to be a makeup artist here but like how people put face paint on themselves; that's what im doing :)

Makeup/Beauty is a hobby (i guess you can count it as one?) of mine and since it's been a while i've posted something beauty related I thought it'll be appropriate to share this. School is starting for me next week and coincidentally, this look might be something wearable for school too. This is an experimental post cos I don't usually wear thick liners, heavy shadows etc so I hope anyone out there might be inspired to try it out too ;)

I find that not many can pull of the dark lip and for those who can, I totally admire. A dark lip just gives off a certain........aura - mysterious and untouchable. I don't know, that's how I feel. How about you? Anyway, I was inspired by Claire to do this look. Plus, she is like the Originals (if you watch Vampire Diaries, you would know what I'm talking about :P) of dark lips. 

Patterned Top: Uniqlo

Leather Peplum: Dorothy Perkins

Coat: Granny's

Have a great weekend!

#50 - OCTOBER // CHOC CHIP COOKIES

Hi there! It's October already and i'm gonna start school soon. I had a wonderful holiday for the past month & i wouldn't deem it as "rotting" away but relaxing. Hehehehe. I love when the year is coming to an end because it's autumn/winter, (not that Singapore has 4 seasons) but something about those seasons makes me happy. Did I mention I love autumn/winter style as well? Just something about layers, denim, coats, boots (urgh) make me tingle inside. ^^ Anyway, I'm praying for a wonderful, restful and enjoyable semester for my last year in school.

Yes, I have another foodie post today. I decided to make chocolate chip cookies out of the blue. Idk why, i just felt like it...I guess we all have those days where you just spontaneously feel like doing/eating something right? Although the recipe turned out a little too sweet and the cookies too wide, it was still edible. A sweet treat for tea/snacking. Hope you like it? :)
