Filled CupCakes

I used my Valentine’s Day treating myself with these lovely Chocolate Cupcakes which where filled, not only with love, but also with Vanilla Cream Cheese, a fashion magazine and a cup of Chocolate, yummy 😛
How was your Valentine’s Day ❤

Chocolate is one of the best way to enjoy life, but making cake including chocolate is just delicious.
I have actually wanted to make these cupcakes the whole week, because last weekend my sister call me and ask me if I had any idea to bake some really delicious cupcakes and my first thoughts was these.

If you want to treat yourself or someone else these days, you should try these out.

Cupcakes 

300 g Flour ( I use a whole grain flour)
280 g Sugar (I use Stevia for a sugarfree version)
100 g Greak Yoghurt
½ tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tbsp. Coca Powder
4 ml. Milk
1 tsp. Lemon Juice

evt. 50-80 g Chopped Chocolate or/and 50 g chooped nuts

Frosting
200 g Cream Cheese
100 g Greek Yoghurt
3-5 tbsp. Confectioner’s sugar (I used Stevia for sugarfree version)
2 tsp. Lemon Juice
1- 1½ tsp. Vanilia ekstract of vanilla beans.

CupCakes

In a bowl mix the water, milk and lemon juice. Let it stand on the kitchen table for two minutes.
in another bowl sieve the flour, coca powder, baking soda and powder.

Add the sugar and the greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
Mix it well together so the sugar is dissolve.

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix it well to it is smooth.
Fill each muffin liner 1/2-2/3 full and bake the cupcakes at 350 F (180 C) for 20-30 min.
Let the cupcakes cold down when they are done.

Cream Cheese Frosting
In a bowl whisk together the cream cheese, greek yogurt and the confectioners sugar.
Add the vanilla extract/vanilla bean and the lemon juice. Mix it well together.

When the cupcakes are cooled you can fill them with the frosting.

Make a hole in the top of the cupcake. A piping tip is perfect to the hole.

Fill the hole with frosting. Place back the top in the hole. Top your cupcake with the frosting.

These Cupcakes are filled with love and with a little hidden surprise. Enjoy your cupcakes.

Valentine Inspiration

|Couple Cups |Mascara|Lipstick|Love Tag Necklace |DW Watch|Perfume| Lace Bra|

|DW Watch|Leather Gloves|Bracelet| Perfume|Together Poster|

The lovers’ holiday is almost here. I think it is so sweet that the “love” has a special day, where you spoil your prince charming and he of course spoils you.

I have for this Valentine´s Day found some of my favorite items. I hope you can use these items as a help or as an inspiration for treating your significant one.

I have both found some items for the prince and something for the princess.

For the princess I can really recommend the mascara and the perfume. I have never tried so good mascara before. The brush has a great shape which spread the mascara out on every single eyelash. The scent is of ‘Midnight Rose’ from Lancôme has been recommend on the blog before, so give it a try.
A love tag necklace with you and your loved letter is also a lovely symbol of your love.

If you prince doesn’t already have a DW watch he should, you should also. The watch is classic, timeless and so beautiful and stylish. ❤
A valentine gift could also be something for the home, something you both can enjoy. It can be a set of cups which match or a lovely poster for your home that can remind you of your love and this valentine´s day.
Of course the gift could also be flowers, a sweet treat as chocolate, macaroons or cupcakes. Actually it aren’t so important what you give or how you spoil the only one, because it is the thoughts that count.

If you like me, is single, you can for the Valentine Day just spoil yourself. It is not to sound selfish; but to love another person, you must first love yourself. As single you can for the Valentine day also just spoil you dear, beloved friend. ❤ ❤
LOVE TO ALL MY DEAR READERS.

De elskendes helligdag er lige om hjørnet. Jeg synes det er sødt, at man sådan har en dag for kærligheden, hvor man forkæler hinanden.

Jeg har til den kommende Valentines dag fundet nogle ting, som du kan give eller bruge som inspiration, til at forkæle din eneste ene.

Jeg har både fundet nogle ting til prinsen og til prinsessen. For prinsessen kan jeg virkelig anbefale mascaraen. Den er virkelig fantastisk og børsten er virkelig genial til at fordele mascaraen på hvert enkelt øjnevippe.

Parfumen ‘Midnight Rose’ fra Lancôme er tidligere blevet anbefalet på bloggen, og duften er bare forforende og frisk.

Hvis prinsen ikke allerede har et DW ur, så burde han. Det burde prinsessen altså også have. Uret er klassik, tidsløs og så utrolig smuk og stilet.

En Valentins gave kan også være noget for jer begge to. Det kunne være et par super søde og fine kopper, som passer sammen. Det kunne også være en fin plakat, som kan minde jer om jeres kærlighed eller denne specielle dag.
En gave kunne selvfølgelig også være blomster, chokolade, lækre macarons eller cupcakes.
Faktisk betyder det ikke så meget, hvordan eller hvad du  forkæler den eneste ene med. Det er nemlig tanken der tæller.

Hvis du ligesom mig er single, kan også forkæle dig selv lidt. Det er egoistisk, da man er nød til at elske sig selv, før man kan elske en anden.
Du kan selvfølgelig også forkæle din bedste veninde eller en anden som står dit hjerte nær.

Masser af kærlighed til jer mine elskede læser.

 

Oversize T-shirt & Braid

I have a pretty awesome day today. My first two classes have been canceling, so I could sleep late. My first class today starts at 12 p.m. but then I first get off at 3 p.m that is sad.

Because I don’t have any plans, except for going to school, I’m today wearing a very casual look, but still a bit stylish.

I love the cozy look an oversized t-shirt can make, and this t-shirt has a wonderful and really cute print with the elephants. To give the outfit a bit more everyday and formally style, I’m wearing a blazer over the t-shirt.
As the last touch I have braided my hair in a French braid, which is a super classic and lovely hairstyle.

What do you think? Do you sometimes have a day like this?

Have a lovely day dear readers <3.

Idag er en ret dejlig dag. Mine første to timer blev i morges aflyst, og jeg har derfor kunne sove længe. Det er rimelig luksus først, at skulle møde kl. 12, til gengæld har jeg først fri kl. 15.

Fordi jeg ikke rigtig har nogle planer for idag, altså udover skole, så er jeg idag i et afslappede outfit.

Jeg er ret vild med det afslappede look en oversize t-shirt kan skabe, og denne her t-shirt har derudover også virkelig et sødt print. For at gør outfittet en smule mere hverdagsagtigt og mere formelt, bruger jeg min elskede blazer udover.
Prikkede over i’et i mit outfit idag, er en fransk fletning, som super klassisk og fin. 🙂

Hvad synes du? Har du også bare nogle dage ligesom disse ?

Have en skøn dag ❤

Homemade Toffee

HI dear friends. I hope you’re enjoying the second week of December. Last Monday I got my problem statement for my study program project. I have now two weeks to write the project at home. My project is about the spanish flu in 1918-1919 in the subject of biology and history. Therefore I may be a bit away from Blue Ducklings while I’m writing this project, but when I take a break I will be working on Blue Ducklings.
Have you ever tried to make your own toffee? It is super easy, delicious and you can make them just as YOU want them to be and taste. I like trying to make thing from the scratch and trying different flavors out.

You will need
• 2 dl (200 g) Heavy Cream
• 2½ dl (250 g) Sugar
• 1 dl (145 g) Syrup
• 100 g (1 stick)  Butter
• Taste: 1-2 tsp. Vanilla extract or 2 tbs. Coca or 1-2 tsp. liquorice powder or other flavoring powder.

Melt the butter the butter in a pot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot and let it boil for 30-45 min while you stir in it. It is done when it has a temperature on 124°C or 255°F. If you don’t have a thermometer that can go to this high temperature, you can take a glass of COLD water and pour a few drops of the mixture down in the water. If the toffee gets hard and doesn’t dissolve in the water, the toffee is done.
Pour the toffee mixture on a covered sheet or box and let it cool down. Cut out the toffee in a proper mouth size.
ENJOY AND YUMMY.
I pour my mixture out on a sheet which makes my toffee a bit thin, but then I fold the toffee over so it gets double.
Make the toffees as a gift for your beloved or as a hostess gift in these coming up Christmas events.

Jeg skriver lige nu SRP om Den Spanske Syge i Biologi og Historie. Jeg kan derfor godt være at bloggen vil være lidt stille de næste 2 uger, hvor jeg har skriveperiode. Jeg vil dog prøve engang imellem at tage en pause, og så arbejde på Blue Ducklings.

Har du nogensinde prøvede at lave dine egne karameller? Det er super let, lækkert og du kan selv bestemme og eksperimentere med smagen.

Du skal bruge:

• 100 g Smør
• 1 dl lys sirup
• 250 g sukker
• 200 g Piskefløde
• 1-2 tsk. vanilje ekstrakt el. pulver eller. 2 spsk. kakao eller. 1-2 tsk. lakridspulver. Du kan også bruge andet smags givende pulver.

Smelt smøret i en gryde. Tilsæt de øvrige ingredienser og lad det koge imens du rør rundt engangimellem. Når massen har en temperatur på 124° er karamellerne færdige. Har du ikke et termometer som kan håndtere så høje varme, kan du også bare tag et glas koldt vand. Dryp et par dråber af karamelmassen ned i vandet. Bliver karamellerne hårde og ikke opløst i vandet, er de færdige. Hæld massen ud på en beklædt plade eller boks og lad dem køle af. Skær/klip stykkerne ud i passende størrelser, og nyd dine hjemmelavede karameller.

Jeg hældte mine karameller ud på en plade, hvilket gjorde dem en smule tynde. Jeg foldede derfor massen, så den var dobbelt.

Lav karamellerne som en gav til dine kære, eller som en værtindegave til julens begivenheder.
