Had a bake session over at Audrey’s place the other day with Seng Aik to bake some cupcakes and hang out before the semester starts. Oh, and also to visit Sunshine, Audrey’s plump and spoiled kitteh which I haven’t seen in such a long time lol. We followed Nigella’s cupcake recipe with royal icing by the way…

  Doesn’t look too pretty yet, does it?


This is the final product…the batter. Look how smooth it is now ^_^

 
lol the mathematician in charge of measuring out the ingredients

Two thumbs up from Chef Percival (okay just one thumb up in this case)

 
A kitchen timer in the shape of a cooking pot! So cute..

 
The batter going into the mould…

  
Please note that Chef Percival does not specifically endorse any brand of flour whatsoever

 
lolololololol  Ooh look! Audrey uses Ubuntu!

 
Aspiring domestic goddess doing the honor of inserting the cupcake tray into the awaiting oven ^_^

 
Wheee…you can see the cupcakes rising already! ^_^ And the smell is so lovely..

 
Perfect cupcakes after 15-20 minutes! Yum!


In goes the icing sugar, egg whites and lemon juice for the icing…ooh shiny!


Don’t they look lovely? And the dripping icing…lol

Icing overload lol

 
La pièce de résistance! 100% edible, yummy cupcakes… (Sugar high?)

 
Semi-high on cupcakes and sugar lol (Stef, wish you were here! Curious to see how high you can get on sugar keke)


Sunshiiiiiiiiiine :D


Awwww…cute kitteh

After cleaning up and all that, we headed off to lunch and picked Stef up at her house along the way…we decided to head off to David’s Diner, located in the Greentown area and it claims to have ‘Truly American food’. Lovely place…the prices are affordable and with a decent serving size. Oh, and it has Mexican food!

This is the Mexican Burritos which Audrey had I think…with some Mexican rice by the side.

 

Stef’s Mexican Tacos with Minced Chicken Filling…she claims that burritos, tacos and quesadillas are all the same lol

Seng Aik’s Seafood Alfredo

I had the Roasted Chicken Quesadillas set with 2 side dishes; Italian Roasted Potatoes and Mac & Cheese. The quesadillas and potatoes were so delicious…those were 4 BIG pieces of quesadillas. Gosh and I’m feeling hungry now..

After all that, we decided to go for a karaoke session…again. lol Stef tried to get out of it, but we made her come along anyway. Tsk tsk excuses…she said she was sleepy after that hearty meal…but she was anything BUT sleepy during karaoke lol We did a bunch of MJ songs…too bad they didn’t have Man in the Mirror…love that one. Audrey went crazy during Thriller lol and started doing ‘ow’s’ and ‘whoo-hoos’ hahaha should’ve recorded that. >.< And Stef toned down her rapping and went for more mellow songs instead. We missed Stef’s rapper self… Oh, and Audrey did her signature theme song, Whitney Houston’s The Greatest Love of All…and it was…both hilarious and uh memorable XD lol what a nice way to end our holidays…eurgh I don’t want to go back T.T Will be counting down the 6 weeks til the mid-semester break!
