22: Black Bottom Cupcakes

I should be studying for my organic chemistry exam for Monday but then again, baking got the better of me. So here it is. Another product of my impulsiveness and laziness. Black Bottom Cupcakes. :)

Closer look at yumminess :)

 This cake is moist with just the right amount of tartness from the cream cheese. This would pair well with a cup of coffee or tea. :)

21: Banana Almond Chocochip Oatmeal Cupcake

I was supposed to meet with my group mate but something came up so she had to cancel at the last minute. So with 4 hours to spend until my next class, I thought of baking again. But this time I want something healthy  so I opted for a banana-oatmeal cupcake. Then again, curiosity got the better of me. I added a handful of slivered almonds plus another handful and half of chocochips. Yes, yes. The world "healthy" magically vanished from my mind. :)

Yummy!

:)

I now realized this myself: "When I'm bored, bake." So there! :)

20: Red Velvet Cupcakes

These are the products of my boredom. Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing.

Red soldiers all lined up :)

Actually, the frosting was supposed to be a cheesecake but ended up too liquidy. I hate for it to go to waste to so I think of something that might need my "liquid" cheese cake. And of course, red velvet it is! 

Bite!

Obviously, I'm not good in photography. For me, photography is sooo complicated because there are many factors that you have to consider. Who would have thought that something as simple as light can really make your picture stand out and look yummy? Not me, of course. Shoot me now. :(
