Blackberry Crumble Cupcakes

I love fruits. I love shortbreads. I also love cupcakes. So, combine the all of those and I will be very happy. These are graham and blackberry cupcakes with whipped cream frosting and a blackberry shortbread. Add tea and I'll be in heaven.

Blackberry Shortbreads and Chocolate Cookies

I made two kinds of cookies today, blackberry shortbreads and chocolate cookies. I made the shortbreads for a cupcake and the chocolate cookies for an ice cream, but they can also be filled for some homemade Oreos.

Japanese Cheesecake Cupcakes

I already made these a very long time ago, I think it was a little over a year. This was the second cupcake I have made for this blog when it was "Musical Cupcakes". These are japanese cotton soft cheesecake cupcakes with whipped cream frosting and blueberry glaze.

White Chocolate Polvoron Cupcakes

These are polvoron covered in white chocolate. I have made real polvoron cupcakes last April and some people who actually wanted these "polvoron cupcakes" landed on that page. So, as an apology to those readers whom I have confused, this is a photo-tutorial to make the "polvoron cupcakes" that they have wanted.

Cheesecake "Ice Cream and Blondie"

Do you enjoy brownies and ice cream together? I told you in my previous post that I do. If you don't like it because you are not a chocolate person, then why not try this cheesecake version? This just feels like ice cream and brownies in your mouth, but with different flavors. Anyone who loves cheesecakes will surely love this.

No-churn Cheesecake Ice Cream

I love looking for no-churn ice cream recipes because I don't have an ice cream maker. It's just too expensive for a college student like me. But recently I have been experimenting on different flavors. I have tried green apple, which did not turn out well, strawberry, vanilla, and melon. But I think those are just too common. And whenever I make them, I always grow impatient while waiting for the custard mixture to cool down, and because I don't use an ice cream maker the ice cream tend to have huge ice crystals.

That's when I look for alternatives, and I found out that you can just use sweetened condensed milk instead of making a custard base. And I am surprised to find out that it is actually smoother and creamier than my custard based ice creams, it's just like churned ice cream! I realize I just found my new ice cream base and I will never go back to custard base.

Graham Cracker and Blueberry Blondies

I love brownies ever since I was a child. I would always choose ice cream with brownie bits whenever I get to choose. But then I never heard of it's brothers, the blondies. They are equally delicious as brownies, and they are more flexible because you can actually put anything [like fruits, nuts, baking chips, and more] in it unlike brownies [think nuts, chips, and I can't think of anything else].

So today I made some graham cracker and blueberry blondies. They are phenomenal, especially if you spread some cream cheese on top. It will taste like a cheesecake, believe me.

Jasmine Tea Cupcakes

I just learned how to make tea-infused butter, and I used jasmine tea for these cupcakes. I should say using it in these cupcakes really gave them a strong jasmine tea flavor. And I topped them of with vanilla buttercream so that the frosting doesn't overpower the jasmine tea flavored cupcakes. These cupcakes gives off a wonderful tea aroma that will surely fill your kitchen.
