Summer-ish!

OMG! What a week, I mean seriously so many things happen, we have my birthday on tuesday:) also on tuesday my 11th grade jacket delivery:D, then thursday well I was with my brother in his eye-doctor appointment when we hear about Michael Jackson's death, and honestly I couldn't belive it, I ask everyone then when we get in the car I turned inmediatly the radio on, to hear it was true, well I'm still in shock actually, I wasn't a huge fan but still he was a very good artist; the I went to a mall and bougth a lovely handbag:) (I love handbags) and then back to home when I watch the beging of project runway season 5 ( I know there is already a seson 6, but what can I do everything arrive to my country late:S), and news when I discover that Farrah Fawcett also die, a sad day for pop culture. On friday I had my cousin's graduation and that's pretty much it!

So apart for my week I have a new idea for snacks that involve ice cream (Yum!)

This one is ice-cream with cupcakes, I acually get it from marthastewart.com, and I found it awesome, it has to be the best summer treat, I haven't try it yet so I don't know how easy would bee to actually eat it, but I guess that if you have fork and take the ice cream at the same time that the cupcake can actually work. Is easy to make you only need well cupcakes, and again you can make them or buy them (without frosting obiously), my advice is to buy Betty Crocker's muffin mix and decorate them yourself, also you can buy cake mix but instead of using a cake pan, you just put the mixture into baking cups!. Anyway when you have your cupcake just scoop some ice cream on top and done!
you have the cutest summer treat!
And since today I will have a new section in my blog (just have the idea) with the name: Cupcake of the day! cuz I'm seeing lot odf creative cupcake I want to share with you! Hope you like it!
Feel free to comment!

Berry Cupcakes!

Hi! Personally I love cupcakes and berries, so when I found this recipe in the web I was so exited!! So I want to share it with all of you. Hope you like it, enjoy!

Berry Cupcakes: (Makes about 12 cupcakes)
You need:
1 Cup of butter or margarine (softened)
2 Tablespoons of vainilla extract.
1 1/3 Cup of sugar
4 Eggs (Separeted)
3 Cups of self-rising flour
1 Cup of milk
2 Cups of frozen blackberries, blueberries or raspberries (Drained)
How To:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Grease 12 muffing cups.
Beat the butter or margarine,vainilla and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time.Fold in the flour and milk alternating the tow.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form and fold into the mixture.
Fill the cups halfway with the mixture, then top with berries and the remaining mixture.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Decorate them:
A great idea to decorate this Berry cupcakes is to used buttercream with the same color of the Berry you use and put it in the top of the cupcake with a spatula, when you are done put a single berry on top, as in the picture.

Note: Sorry I don't find a picture of the extact recipe but I find this one to show you how to decorate them!
