Almost Alice Cupcakes from Christinamachtwas

Dear lovely readers,

I´d like to introduce myself. My Name is Christina, I´m a friend of Anna and a blogger myself. At Christinamachtwas I share with you my latest recipes, my thoughts and so much more. Take a look, but first I´d like to show you my Almost Alice Cupcake that I created just for my lovely Anna.

For the inspiration I took a picture that Anna posted a few posts back. It´s this one:

I thought it would be perfect for a Cupcake, and I was right. They´re terrific, aren´t they?

You will need for 6 - 8 Cupcakes:

Ingredients: 200 g Flour 1/2 Ts Bakingpowder 1/2 Ts Natron (Bakingsoda) 1 pinch of Salt  70 g Butter 100 g Sugar 1 Egg  75 ml Milk 2 Hands full Berrys (Blueberrys + Red Currant) 1/2 Lemon

Directions: Mix together flour, bakingpowder, bakingsoda & salt. Whisk butter and sugar until it´s fluffy. Add the egg and the milk to the buttermixture and whisk until it´s comined. Now add the flourmixture and only use a wooden spoon to combine.     It´s not bad if there are flourflakes in the batter! Now add the berrys and gently fold them in. If you like you can squeeze a little bit of the lemonjuice in the batter. Fill it in papercups and bake at 180 °C about 12 - 15 Minutes. Make the "chopstick"-test. Let them cool completely.

And for the frosting you´ll need:

Ingredients: 250 g Mascapone 1 Package Cream Cheese 2 - 4 Ts Powdersugar Food dye in teal and blue if you want: Sugarpearls in black

Directions: Whisk everything together and  garnish the Cupcakes with it.                                    Add Sugarpearls to the frosting and enjoy!

I hope you liked my little sweet Almost Alice Cupcakes & I would be pleased to welcome you to my blog as well.

My studded bangle is number 7,  find the tutorial here. :)

Tutorial feature via shelterness.com

I don't know how and I've found this by accident, but shelterness.com featured my Nautical seahorse bracelet which can be also worn as a necklace! With summr approaching (more or less), this is also worth showing again.

Thanks shelterness.com, maybe you're telling me next time so I can be happy earlier? :D

BASTELWUNDER.net - Feature

Wow, I got featured on the German website of Bastelwunder.net! See the article & my spike necklace tutorial feature here:

http://www.bastelwunder.net/2013/almost-alice/

I'm now allowed to use this pretty badge which is so cool since it fits so well into my latest design! Thanks guys! 

German-speaking people: Schaut mal auf der Website http://www.stylefruits.de/home/bastelwunder  vorbei und kramt etwas, wenn ihr auf Bastelblog steht :) (wieso wäret ihr sonst hier? :P) - werde ich nun auch tun! Und wenn ihr selbst einen DIY Blog habt, fragt da doch mal an, ob ihr auch gefeatured werden könnt. Vielleicht werdet ihr es auch einfach so, aus dem Nichts heraus, wie ich ;)

Tutorial feature: Tissue cake box

Isn't that genius and so adorable? It's like made for me. I love food, cakes and easy projects where you go like 'Why didn't I think of this?? I have to try this now!!' - And this tissue box has it all. No wonder CO+K decided to feature it!

It's by SongAhln from cutoutandkeep.net and you can find the tutorial here!

I think I will post more tutorial features in the future as it is a nice way to honor craft projects I love, and there are things out there that should get more attention.

I hope you guys have a nice weekend!

Yay!

How to: Improved loop scarf

A year ago I made a loop scarf, remember?

http://almostaliceblog.blogspot.de/2012/02/loop-schal.html

I wore it very often, what always was annoying me was that it didn't really warm my whole neck. It was more a chest-warming scarf and that stressed me out several times. 

Sooo..

....I altered it a little bit!

And now its cosy and draughtproof :)

Oh and I'm happy my jumper is #5 of CO+K's hottest projects right now! :)

I love this necklace. (Tutorial feature)

Feature: Ruffled skirt tutorial (Sew Dang Cute Crafts)

I wanted to share with you a tutorial I just found! It's for making a Charlotte Russe inspired skirt by Sew Dang Cute Crafts. Another blog that seems like a big source for tutorials. I love the ruffles of the skirt and when I saw how easy it is to make one, I just had to show you. :)

Featured member interview!

I'm so happy Cut Out + Keep chose me for their featured member interview! :) I'm loving this site for years and it was a real honor for me to be called super creative by the admins :)

They asked me a few questions about my crafts, what I like to do and which project on the site I like the most. They also asked me to send them photos of my craft room and so I did:
