Of chocolate cupcakes and hearts

I was actually going to talk about these batch of cupcakes I baked last week and how it tasted heavenly delicious but then I watched dcfc's video for I Will Possess Your Heart and decided that the video is more exciting than my baking adventures for now so...

Will post about adorable chocolate cupcakes after dinner ;)

Ok, so last Saturday (or was it Sunday? oh yeah Sunday it was) I decided a round #2 for baking :)) Also because we were going to a bbq at our neighbour's house so I thought it'd be nice to bring some yummy treats over.

Our electric beater is kinda worn off already, sadly. We need a new one! Mom has a good one, back in KL with the stand and you just put it and let it run by itself. My hand was aching by the time all the ingredients were mixed :(

Mmmm, chocolate bater ;) This time I put the right amount of cocoa powder and it turned out super yummy!

I decorated the cupcake with love heart candies! They looked so pretty :) Though the candies aren't that nice, hahah but they're really pretty, as so:

It reads: Forever, Bless You, Hug Me, Trust Me etc. So cute! :))

I also added sprinkles! And then afterwards I doused them with cocoa powder, it looked amazingly vibrant and too pretty to eat :)

Adorned with the pretty lil some some ;)

The ones this time was so much better than the ones I tried to make the other day, because I didn't mix the ingredients properly and screwed up somewhere along the way and it tasted bland :\ which wasn't too pleasant. 'Tis a happy girl I am, or so I like to think. Today, I found a recipe for cupcakes using nutella! Oh joy, I luuuuurve Nutella, and whilst I was in Rome, I saw these giant jars of Nutella, very very tempting:

I love thee, o chocolatey heaven :)))

I was devouring a mango sorbet ice cream. Long live dairy!

Today my words fail me, I'm sorry. Here's to you that I tell you now I need less than your foul discouragement and never-good-enough's, "oh yeah you're nowhere as near pretty as her" - not necessary in that conjunction but meaning it. I go into the shower drenched in warm streamlined jets of water, yelling and screaming and wash wash wash it away wash your filth away I don't want to be stained with dyes of your expectations, unassociated with you, till every inch is stainless and I am satisfied.

I hope everyone had a wonderful night, oh those dreamy brit accents ;)

What's the best thing the british have ever come up with?
My answer?

The Beatles, the stiff upper lip brit accent, black pudding, Harrods and Hugh Laurie.
