Cookieventure # 5: Christmas Giveaways: Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolate Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

Every year, we give small gifts to our friends, and colleagues like planners, pens, notepads, etc. But this year, we've decided to give out something more personal - home-made cookies and cupcakes.

Earlier this week, we dropped by my favorite store, Limcon, to buy a few ingredients and materials. We were able to buy, a pack of mini cups, plastic pouches, cupcake boxes, mini cupcake tray, confectioner's sugar, and other ingredients used in the previous post for only Php 747.50.

The cupcakes that we made are the same ones as did before (found here: http://mycookietasticdiary.blogspot.com/2013/10/cookieventure-2-chocolate-cupcakes-with.html), except that we used smaller cups to achieve a bite size version. We also used yellow coloring to give color to our frosting, and added sprinkles for color (it is after all the colorful holidays).

Cookieventure # 4: Christmas Feast: Cheesecake, Cookies and Cupcakes

Since it's the holidays, and the most wonderful time of the year, the kitchen calls yet again. So for today's blog, I will share with you what I made for the family and our guests this festive season.

To start off, I will share with you what I made for the family. They requested the usual favorite, Blueberry Cheesecake, and then I decided to add a few more treats for the guests which are Cookies and Cupcakes. But, lower down your expectations a bit as these cookies and cupcakes are store-bought (Cheat day). Hahaha!

For the Blueberry Cheesecake, we'll need the usual ingredients and make the same as previously shared in the previous blog: http://mycookietasticdiary.blogspot.com/2013/10/cookieventure-3-blueberry-cheesecake.html.

Cookieventure # 3: Blueberry Cheesecake

Sunday's best is what is in store for today. :)

Due to my husband's request some weeks ago, I finally gave in and made my mom's all time favorite Blueberry Cheesecake - to which I am now guessing will be one of my husband's favorites too.

The recipe I used to follow was the one I found inside a store-bought butter's packaging. But I always end up adding my own flavour to it.

Now, let's get it on.

Friday Night Shopping: Found My Golden Pot

Hello peeps, look who's back in the action! :)

After weeks of grueling work schedule to meet report deadlines, and some volleyball time in between, I am now able to slow down and get back in this little adventure I love to call baking.

Okay, so to start off this adventure, I am happy to report that I was able to finally drop by this little store that is full of baking stuff and goodies - the store's name is Limcon which is located at Tejero, Gen. Trias, Cavite.
