I haven't baked anything for a while, not since Saturday, it's to many days.
I have to make something tomorrow!
Just have to figure out what, I have three ideas, but I don't now which I want to do most.
Maybe I'll just do all three tomorrow!
Or bake one thing each day for three days.
Oh, we'll see.
Anyhow I'm really looking forward to it!

Olives
Yes I love olives,
More than I love cake right now.
And I've been tasting around to find the perfect olives,
Right now I actually think I had them the first time, and it will be a while before I can buy more expensive olives to try.
More than I love cake right now.
And I've been tasting around to find the perfect olives,
Right now I actually think I had them the first time, and it will be a while before I can buy more expensive olives to try.
Seriously bad. Mostly they just tasted sour, and nothing like olives at all.
Never ever buy those!
They are awful like -10937364483 out of 5 stars.
5/5!
4/5.
And sure they don't taste that bad, but the flesh is soft, not really a hit, and not worth it's money, but there okay.
3/5
These was also expensive, a little jar for plenty of money, really big green olives.
Really nice, but a little to soft in the flesh.
4/5
Really nice, but a little to soft in the flesh.
4/5
These was also soft, I want something to chew on, something with an existing consistency.
Not that bad though in taste.
3/5
That's all the olives I've tried, not much, I'm not any olive expert exactly, but I'll hope to try some more different olives soon, when I fell rich.
If you have a tip for good olives, please tell me.
Think I'll have to go and eat some of my own marinated olives in fresh Rosemary and Garlic.
Delicious!

Prinsses cupcakes for me and Coffee ganache cupcakes for the grown ups
Today(Saturday 2/10) I'm going to a PAAARTEY!
And I thought it as an excellent excuse to use my cake leveler! But with out making a cake.
I will make cupcakes instead, and I decided to start with them right away, they will need a lot of cooling down time before you can start decorate.
So here we go kids and grown ups!
Step One
Ingredients:
250 g of rum temperated butter
3,5 dl sugar
5 dl flour
1,5 dl soyflour, I add it so that the finished thing doesn't crumple so much
2,5 dl soymilk
2 dl oat cream
6 teaspoons of No Egg
5 teaspoon vanilla
5 teaspoon baking powder
Preparation Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 175 C or 347 F. Line your cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
Add the butter with the sugar and mix.
Then add the flour, mix.
Add the soy milk and the oat cream, mix.
Then add everything else and mix.
Now you can evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

Then add everything else and mix.
Now you can evenly fill the muffin cups with the batter and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
When the cupcakes have completely cooled take them out of the cupcake liners and take you cake leveler (if you don't have one a knife is good) and split the cupcake about 1 cm from the bottom and then split the top about 1 cm from the top, so that you have an bottom piece a middle piece and the top piece.
Step two
Ingredients Princess cupcakes:
Raspberry jam
2 tabelspoons of Vanilla cream sauce
2 dl Soy milk
2 teaspoons liquid butter
2 teaspoons Vanilla sugar
2 tabelspoons Sugar
Preparation Instructions:
Star with cooking the vanilla cream sauce according to the instructions, make two portions, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar and 2 teaspoons of liquid butter. Put it aside and let it cool.
Now take half of the split cupcakes, add 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam to the bottom piece put it in a new cupcake liner, and put the middle piece on top, now spread 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla cream sauce and then put the top piece on.
Now it's ready to get decorated!
Ingredients Coffee ganache cupcakes:
75 g chopped dark chocolate x 2
12 teaspoons of oat cream
1 teaspoon coffee
Preparation Instructions:
Cut the chocolate into small piece and put it into two separate bowls.
Heat the oat cream to a boil, immediately pour 6 teaspoons of the boiling cream over the chocolate in one bowl and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth.
Now add 1 teaspoon in the oat cream thats left, heat a little and pour it over the other bowl. Stir with a whisk until smooth.
Because it's so little cream it can be necessary to heat the ganache in the microwave for 10 seconds so that all the chocolate melts.
Now take the rest of the split cupcakes, add 2 teaspoons of chocolate ganache to the bottom piece put it in a new cupcake liner, and put the middle piece on top, now spread 2 teaspoons of coffee chocolate and then put the top piece on.
Now it's ready to get decorated!
But to do that we'll need frosting.
Step Three
Ingredients:
150 g room temperated butter
2 dl powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation Instructions:
In an electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, cream the butter until smooth and well blended.
Add the vanilla and powdered sugar. With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the sugar.
Tint the frosting with desired food color.
Now add it in your decorating bag and choose the decorating tip to your liking.
Just add the frosting on your cupcakes.
I decorated them with sugar colored with food color and the marzipan bows I made.

Mini apple pie
I love apple pie(or blueberry pie) but you can't make a big apple pie for two persons.
I already bake to much stuff all the time.
This time I remembered that I have these little pie tins since I made two small vegan wedding cakes.
And since we are two persons, and I guess the pie tins are the right size for one person, maybe one serving with a little extra yummy in it. Of course I don't really care about the pie, cause the key to a good pie is the vanilla sauce <3
I use Oatly vanilla sauce, yum yum.
Ingredients:
½ dl liquid butter
½ dl flour
1,25 dl oatmeal
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon syrup
0,25 dl sugar
½ apple
Cinnamon powder
Sugar
Vanilla
1 tabelspoon brown sugar
Preparation Instructions:
Preheat oven to 175 C or 347 F.
Mix butter, flour, oatmeal, vanilla, syrup and sugar together in a small bowl.
Take two thirds of the batch and add it in the pie tins, on the bottom and the sides.
Peel the apple and slices it in thin slices, I just used half an apple put if you like apple pie with a lot of apple, then you can use a whole apple and just make two layers.
Powder some vanilla, sugar and cinnamon over the apples, this I didn't measure, 'cause I hope you all can decide for your self how much you want on your pie, some wants it really sweet others wants a lot of cinnamon and so on.
Now take the last of the batch and crumble it over the pies, then take the brown sugar and sprinkle ½ tablespoon of it on each pie, now you just pop it in the oven and let it bake for 20 minutes.
This is a very sweet pie, so if you don't really like it sweet you can easily skip the sugar on top the apples and the brown sugar, cause the batch is sweet enough just on it's own.

It's like Christmas!
Today I got a package.
I had no idea what it was, but I had another package to pick up so I went to the "post office" Pressbyrån!
When she gave me the package I still had no idea what it contained, and it was a large package!
Then when I was about to walk home I remembered what it was and I was thrilled!
When I got home I teared into it!
And oh it was like Christmas,
Christmas and Birthday all in one!

| A cake leveler! CAKE LEVELER! Must be the best thing ever! |
Now I'm happy!
Buns Buns Buns!
Yes. Buns.
Cause I bought me a Kitchenaid I felt that I really had to use it right away, so I made buns with cinnamon and vanilla.
Ingredients:
50 grams yeast
5 dl soymilk
125 gram butter
2 dl sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cardamom
14-16 dl flour
Vanilla butter filling:
50 grams butter
1,5 dl sugar
3 tabelspoons vanilla
1 tabelspoon brown sugar
Cinnamon butter filling:
50 grams butter
1,5 dl sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons cinnamon
Preparation Instructions:
Crumb the yeast into a big bowl.
Melt the butter and add the soymilk(I heat the soymilk a little before in the microwave, if you add the soymilk directly into the melted butter it could clump, and it's not so fun)
I'd recommend you to use an digital meat thermometer, so that you can get an exactly 37 C, that's when you get the best result.
Pour the milk mixture over the yeast and stir till the yeast has dissolved.
Then add the sugar, salt, cardamom and about half the flour and stir, then add some of the flour at the time, star with 1 dl till your up to 13 dl then start adding ½ dl till the dough is smooth, it shouldn't stick to the bowl or to anything, but it should still be a little sticky to the touch, but the dough shouldn't stick to your fingers.
Now you have to let it sit for 30 minutes while it rises.
Now you can mix together the fillings, mix until smooth.
When it has doubled in size, split it in two and roll into a rectangular and smear one of the butter fillings over it, now you can do two things either roll it into a clog and cut 1 cm slices that you put on a wax paper, or you do like I did, fold it in half and then slice it in 1 cm slices that you make a knot out of, I can't really help you with this step because I don't even know how I do mine.
But just think knot and take the slice and just wrap it around them selfs, just make sure that the two ends is safely secured and tugged in on the bottom of the bun, so that when you put it in the oven it won't unfold.
Now, when you have done this with all the dough it has to sit for another 30 minutes. Now is a good time to put on the oven 225 C or 427 F.
After 30 minutes it's time to pop the first baking plate into the oven, but before we do that we can if you'd like, to brush the buns with a mixture of ½ dl liquid butter and ½ dl oat cream and then sprinkle some pearl sugar on top, now just pop it in the oven.
Usually they should bake for about 8-10 minutes, but it depends on how big you've made them, I had to bake mine for 15 minutes. The key is to take them out when they are a little brownish on top and when it smells like buns in the room.

Kitchenaid
Just bought me one of these <3
I've wanted one for a really long time now.
And right in this moment there's one standing in a box on my kitchen floor!
Now I just have to set it up and start making some Cinnamon and vanilla buns.
Yummy!
