Erika's World

New day. New cupcakes. Same cookbook. (More baking to come.) Yep I baked today too. What else am I supossed to do with my day? I know, I know - there is plenty of other things for me to do. It is summer. No school (translation no imagination.) Ok, that is so not true. I could write a whole book full of my crazy thoughts. Entertaining crazy thoughts that will say. I am NOT crazy (if that is what you think). Anyway (I have been using that word alot lately). So, I made carrot and zucchini cupcakes. I have not tasted them yet but I can tell you this much that the batter... OH, heaven yum. Maybe I was egasterting a little there. But is tasted good. I guess that the cupcakes are amazing too. My mom loves (of course I do too, duh) the ham and mushroom cupcakes. You have to try them sometime. Go to the Hummingbird Bakery or just buy the cookbook. Here is a picture of todays creation: your writer, Erika

They're done! I hope that they taste delicious :) your writer, Erika

Hola a todos! Yeah, I am sitter here listening to Gossip Girl (the tv is on) and ocassionally taking a peek. Not that I like GG but lately... yeah lately. Anway. Today I have not done much. I mean I went to Sollentuna Centrum to buy some groceries. I just made some ham and mushroom cupcakes. Yeah it sound weird but it's from The Hummingbird Bakery cookbook. The Hummingbird Bakery is a (I mean two) very famous bakeries in London. Apperently Gwyneth Paltrow LOVES them. Anyway. I have been eyeing the cookbook for the last few months everytime I have walked in to a store that has it. So last week I came to my senses and finally bought it. It got here last Friday. I looked at every single recipe in the book and than I saw the ham and mushroom cupcakes recipe. It said that the cupcakes are very popular among the custumers at the bakery. It also said that they were good for a hearty breakfast. So, I was like "Hey, why not make those cupcakes instead of a lof of bread."....

My first thing to do this summer is going to be........wait for it................Open a bakery! Well this week I am going to finish a brochure that I started on a few days ago (and hand it out to people I know) and open a blog. On the blog I am am going to write on swedish. The name for my bakery is going to be Erika's mat but the official name is going to be Erika's food. I'll hope someone will order something. I got the idea (well I have thought about it before I read it) from a magazine called Julia. I mentioned it yesterday when I ate lunch with mom, Annika, Sara and her son Caesar (who's just a baby - he is three months old) and Annika thought was a great idea. She said that I absolutely should do it because I am such a great cook. I graduated ninth grade yesterday! That's why I had lunch with mom, Annika, Sara and her son. I also got presents! So thanks for the presents once again! I loved them so much. I am really thankful for it! your writer, Erika.
