Chocolate your Milk!

Hello everyone!

Today's post is very similar to some of the "hot chocolate in a stick" posts that you can easily find on Pinterest. I, however, do not agree with the fact that this is hot chocolate. 
For me, hot chocolate is rich, and so thick that you can stick a spoon in it and it will stand. Hot chocolate is a Christmas morning, when my dad would go out and buy some "churros" for us to have breakfast. So no, this is NOT hot chocolate.




However, it can be a great alternative for a day you are feeling lazy and you want to treat yourself. Maybe it's rainy outside, and you crave something that will warm you up inside and you are not in the mood for tea.




This is it. I have made three different kinds: unsweetened chocolate with salted caramel, milk chocolate with hazelnut and white chocolate with cinnamon. Choose your poison!

White Chocolate and Macadamia Blondies

Hello everyone!

Today's recipe is perfect for a lazy day. A Sunday afternoon, when you crave something sweet but you do not want to be in the kitchen a lot. Something easy, quick and delicious.




This is it! Look no more! 



Take a bite when they are still a little bit warm.

Nutella Doughnut Holes

Hello everyone!


Today's recipe will show you how to easily fill the doughnut holes with delicious Nutella. On top of that, the icing of the doughnuts is also special: it's a hazelnut glaze!


You do not need more than a bottle (I used the same one I use to put the icing in the cookies), some Nutella and milk and you're all set.

Pink Velvet Cake + 1st Blogiversary!

Hello everyone!

I'm proud to say that this blog is just 4 days shy of being one year old! Happy 1st blogiversary "My Cupcake Notebook"!



To celebrate, obviously a cake was in order. It is, however, a mix of three recipes that have been featured in this blog, the Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream from the Chocolate and Vanilla Layer Cake, the Red Velvet Cake recipe (with a twist) and the DIY Colored Sugar.



A delicious combination, I must say! And so pretty!



It is moist and sweet, and the frosting is soft and fluffy.
