Macaron Attempted - Failed...but getting close =)

Hi!!!!

So, I didn't make it to my crafting room, but again made it into the kitchen! Trying to attempt macarons and I FAILED! but I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP!!! I made a promise to myself that I'll learn these little suckers!!! So far, they're coming up with feet, but they're hollow!!! I tried 5 times, 3 times yesterday night and two times this morning and my FIFTH BATCH!!! a tad hollow but not super-duper yet!!! Until i get it right, I won't share what I did. I'll try to get it right and then share it, but haha! i guess posting this failure will encourage me to try it more and tell others it's okay to fail!

I got to admit, these little suckers are sooo adorable, but they are hahah a pain!!!!! Here's my fifth macaron batch attempt...looks pretty close right? hehe! I'm still going to keep trying once i get my hands on more almond flour.

Here's how the inside of my macarons turned out...see not super-duper hollow right? hehe but i know i know I'll need a lot more practice...=)

I hope you're starting your morning a lot better than my failure macaron attempt (hehe).

I think this time I'm really going into my craft room and do a little Stamping' Up stamping to get my minds off macarons, or haha I might end up making a macaron card! we'll see!!!

Happy Sunday to you!!!

Thank you,
Love always, SMILE!!! MUI HOANG

A Very Berry Trifle - Yummie!!!

Happy be-lated New Year!!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year! So I still didn't get a chance to spend hours in my craft room yet but I spent some time in the kitchen again. It's a YUMMIIIIIIE dessert you'll want to give it a try yourself, a little healthy but heck, that cream is just YUMMIE!!! I personnally don't eat cream, but oh man oh man, THIS CREAM IS A MUST TRY!!! I think the orange extract made it super yummie!!! and heck, add in a fluffy yummie Angel Food Cake and some fresh berries, oh my oh my oh my!!!!

[ A VERY BERRY TRIFLE RECIPE BY I AM BAKER ]

Fruits + Cream + Angel Food Cake = DROOLING!!!

Look how yummie it looks! It's super easy to make ;)

Wondering where I got these cute little individual trifle bowls, I got them at Pier 1 Imports - aren't they super-duper adorable?!? I've always wanted to make a trifle and so glad i found a good recipe to try it out and doesn't they look soooooo darn yummie!!!! You can get these mason jars anywhere - Target, WalMart, etc.

What I did was I premade the Angel Food Cake the night before using this recipe - Homemade Angel Food Cake by Hip2Save. Then the next day I prepped everything and followed the directions by I Am Baker's A Very Berry Trifle Recipe and she is AWESOME!! I found a few recipes of hers I'm going to try it out!!! You don't have to make the Angel Food Cake from scratch, you can probably get a cake mix box and/or buy it if you don't have the time, I'm for sure it taste just as good.

At first I was planning to assemble mine in a regular size trifle bowl, but I decided to assemble them into small individual trifle bowls for a few of my family and friends and mason jars to go for some of my friends I was meeting up yesterday for dinner. It was a lot of fun and oh my soo soo good! Give them a try and let me know what you think.

Now go have fun and bake ;) I'm about to really head in my crafting room and craft a little hopefully or might end up organizing some new stamps I got!!! Can't wait to STAMP!!!
