a merry un-birthday

 A little while ago I turned 30. Yeah, I know, I'm old now :-)

Even though everyone seemed to think that I (not married, no kids etc) should feel bad on that occasion I simply didn't. However, I thought it was a fun idea to throw an un-birthday party. So Alice in Wonderland party theme it was.

Here's a little glimpse into what I prepared for the day.

And here is my pinterest with all the inspirations. I didn't go through with all of them though.

my jeans are too tight

cupcake cups: HEMA

Ok, so I figure out half my jeans have become too tight and what do I do: bake some cupcakes. Yeah, that's totally logic.

Just my go-to chocolate dough with some peanutbutter on top this time:
Mix 1 Egg, 100g Butter and 100g sugar together. Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder, a bit of salt, 200g flour and 3-5 Tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder (depending on how chocolate-y you'd like your cupcakes). To soften the dough, add about 100ml milk. Bake at 200°C for about 20 minutes.
Voilá, nothing fancy, but soo good!
By the way, I think those cupcake forms are actually ice cream cups, but they work anyways.  

very berry

You can add your favourite vanilla cream cheese frosting, if you like, or leave them as they are.
