Cup Cake Making!!!

Hi all,

I know this type of posts is not what I usually DID before, but as a change, and as suggested and recommended by my friends, I decided to do one. Moreover, I've been really a huge fan of my friend Amna's blog, so, being inspired by her adds to the reason why I'm making this post ^_^ .. You can check her blog by clicking here.

WHAT HAPPENED during the last months? WHO AM I??

Well, a lot happened. If you know personally, you would know that I was a trainee at this most boring company (I didn't know anyone there except my friend who is also a trainee). However, I am really thankful for them because I managed to have lots and LOTS of free time. During this free time, I've discovered a lot, which resulted in some self changes.

I've come to decide that I should live each day by itself. Everyday is a new day. Moreover, I've come to find that breaking the routine of my days is really helpful. I've become addicted to new things. I found more interest in recycling and in nature. I found a new passion which is to doodle. Actually, all the doodles on this blog post are mine (YAY ME!!). Stop don't scroll down, they are actually only 3!!! XD

A small fast doodle ^_^

COOKING?! SERIOUSLY?!!

Continuing on to the main topic, today as a change in plans, I decided to ENTER the kitchen and MAKE cupcakes. I am not sure how well you know me, but let me tell you this, my mom had given up on me when it comes to cooking. I have 2% knowledge of cooking. I know how to make instant noodles, instant coffee, instant soup, a slightly burnt omelette and tea. To be honest with you guys, if I had a recipe I can make whatever. I mean, I have in the past made a soup from scratch (do they use this term for cooking too?!). I also made Warag 3enab (Vine Leaves). Oh and the first and the last time I cooked some meat was when I made some Texas Fries. But then my blodd pressure slightly dropped and I had to lay on the couch until the Magrib prayer!.. 

CLEARING THAT UP, I decided to make cup cakes, in celebration for UAE's team winning Khaleeji Cup!! Yahoo *Cheering loudly*

The great moment of holding the cup!! *heart eyes*

UAE National 

Thank you guys! You made us proud!

Ingredients

As for the ingredients, I, while I was shopping and when I had this crazy idea, bought Betty Crocker's Cake. Now I know how you will say, oh this is already ready cakes, for me it was a challenge!! I don't like to bake sweets or cook anything except what has the word instant kekekekeke..

Cloud Le Chef Mode = ON!

I started by hunting for some utensils and WALLA.. I had them!! .. NEXT, I added all what I needed and had to whisk...

<picture>

After that, I asked the maid to turn on the oven (I'm not that good at it obviously =_____=).. and cupcakes inserted into oven >>CHECK

I waited and waited and had lunch and waited and waited, and then they were ready.. YAHOOO (they weren't burned).. with the creme I decided to do a suicidal task and decorate the poor cup cakes. Let me tell you all about it,.. it was a FAIL!! xD!! I even murdered one of my babies (my poor cup cake T^T).. 

In Process

Tarantantaaaaaa.... my beloved children

My dead child, the one I mistakenly murdered XD

TESTING the product *evil eyes*

I took my tray which was full of cool looking cup cakes WHICH I MADE!! YEAH.. to my family members, they all tasted it and they gave me the results.... "IT IS SUPER YUMMY", "WOW" .... etc. I made a very nice tasting cup cakes, so I believe this challenge was a success. My sister in law told me it was so great, "make it again for us", and I simply replied "Don't dream a lot!" NYAHAHAHAHA!! 

So Yummy and Fluffy

A Side Story

As I was in the kitchen waiting for the second half of the cupcakes to be baked, our maids gathered to have lunch. And suddenly, my nose which decided to work at the time, smelled a very stinky smell. It brought back memories of the sticky side of Thailand!! OH NOOOO!! The maids cooked something and they were eating it.. I had to put up with that to bake the cakes. 

Dear My family, you should be grateful. Just Saying!! Just Saying!! 

I mean seriously, I didn't want to get out, just because I didn't want to go back in. I though maybe my nose will get used to it. IT DIDN'T T_____T.. and I was simply like this..

Cloud Fighting the stinky smell

Conclusion

My cup cakes were a success, I admit, but I know for like 1000000000000% I wasn't born to be a chef!! .. I mean cooking is really like 10% fun. The fun part is that I did something unusual apparently. I combined my building blocks (ingredients) and created a new thing. But yeah, I still don't like cooking. For me, cooking is only to make something to eat. EATING is fun, cooking is NOT!!!

In the end, I wish all chefs the great success in their businesses. Please make good food, so that I don't have to!
