Mon Cupcake

Since it started to rain.... again.... I decided to do something that I like a lot: baking cakes. I got a present the other day that contains a very nice cupcake recipe book, with 10 silicone cupcake molds and an icing syringe. It's a very cute giftset the only thing you need... is to understand French..... and luckily I do

I made their basic vanilla cupcake recipe (with a touch of cardamom) which is made only with egg whites, making the structure very light and fluffy. 

I still need to get used to using a syringe for decorative icing...but I think I did a nice job ....... 

for a beginner ;-) 

On top of the cupcake is a layer of pure chocolate and I made the icing with powder sugar and fresh raspberry juice giving its pink colour. Perfect to bright up a rainy day!

It's a new day

What better than to start the day with a healthy-rich-of-vitamins breakfast? I always start the day with some nice yoghurt. Not the non-fat one, but preferably the Greek one with 3,5% fat. When there's no fat it will only make you go hungry after 2 hours..... I like Greek yoghurt because of its rich taste and its thickness.

Then add a handful of raspberries or strawberries or banana, whichever you prefer most and preferably what's in season.
Add a tablespoon of honey and add some chopped up almonds....MMMM and if you really want to make it superb, add some cinnamon.
There you have a perfect healthy source of vitamins and happiness!

What are you having for breakfast?
