Babatee vir Boetie

KoekiesEnCream het die afgelope naweek "Baba Boetie" kolwyntjies gebak vir 'n babatee by die pragtige Majeka House, geleë net buitekant Stellenbosch. Dit was ook die eerste keer dat KoekiesEnCream 'n doek-koek moes 'bak' - 'n baie oulike DIY idee - die doek-koek is baie eenvoudig om te maak: stapel doeke opmekaar en bind hulle vas met linte of selfs tou. Die 'koek' kan dan as geskenk aan die toekomstige 'mams' oorhandig word. Die ligblou en wit kolwyntjies het perfek ingepas by die kleurskema van dié van Majeka House.

Voorletter Fees!

Kersfees is 'n FEES en nog meer so as jy dit saam met vriende en familie kan vier! Hier is 'n baie eenvoudige DIY idee om jou Kersfeestafel af te rond deur vir elkeen van jou vriende, familie of gaste 'n plekaanwysertjie te maak - 'n Soetkoekie met hul voorletter op! Hier kan jy natuurlik rondspeel met jou eie kleure, linte en houertjies/sakkies. In plaas daarvan om naamkaartjies te skryf kan jy hierdie soetkoekie, met hul voorletter op, as 'n dankie-sê geskenkie op die tafel sit, aan die kersboom hang of self as deel van jou dekor gebruik.  

Melt in the middle!

Creating new recipes! That's what it's all about! Whether it's throwing together a few old ones or creating one from scratch. I've been working with the idea of cupcakes with no icing for a while as I found that sometimes you want something sweet, but the icing is just a little bit too much. So, I played around with the idea of having icing inside the cupcake. It's not on-top, this time it's inside!

And...the best part is you can do this with any cupcake recipe of your choice in four easy steps!

1. You can either use chocolate or caramel, unwrap it and put it in the freezer.

2. Make your cupcake batter and pour it into your cupcake tins.

3. Insert the frozen chocolate or caramel so it's positioned in the middle of the batter.

4. Bake your cupcakes as per your recipe's specifications.

Voila!
