A Little Picnic in the Sun

This weekend was quite warm so my boyfriend and I had a little picnic at the park. It was just a fun little trip we decided in the midst of the warm weather and it was also a little celebration for our third year anniversary together. Sometimes, I still can't believe we were together for that long. But it's been a great three years.

For our little linner (lunch and dinner hehe), we made some rice flour wraps topped with spicy peanut chili. The peanut chili was so spicy that my mouth was literally burning. But luckily, I bought some milk to wash away a bit of the hotness. And then we also brought a few of the cupcakes I made earlier in the week. Some pedestrians looked at us oddly but I can't help it. I was joyous about the warm weather for a change. And there are no pictures of my boyfriend because he would not allow me to take any of him due to his longish hair. Sadly, the weather has turned somewhat cold and very rainy so no more picnics for awhile.

Iced Tea and Cupcakes

Ordering from ASOS was quite a failure. I am a size 2/4 but I went off of the measurements ASOS provided which put me at a size 6. And when my clothes came the other day, they were quite big on me as the measurements ASOS provided were not correct at all. The size 6 coat I bought was a regular size 6 coat you'd find pretty much anywhere in the U.S. The coat size I want seems to be out of stock on their site so I think I would be quite upset if it truly is out of stock. Some items ASOS have out of stock comes back in stock so I hope the size I want is not out. It's just such a beautiful spring jacket.

So, to relax myself after the disappointing order, I made these delicious cupcakes. The frosting was way too sweet, but I loved decorating it. And the Thai iced tea with it was lovely. If you haven't tried Thai iced tea yet, it is really good. It's a orange-brown mixture of brewed Thai tea and milk cream that is just oh-so-yummy.

Delectable Delights

Don't these decadent delicacies just make your mouth water? I saw these images on Sarah Kaye and just absolutely had to save them because the desserts just look so yummy. ;p I hope you don't get too much of a craving for desserts by my post. =)

I love the decoration and display of the cupcakes, from the dainty details of the flower petals to the blue-pink-green icing is just beautiful.

Those raspberries look so yummy in this photo - so plump and juicy that I can imagine them squishing in my mouth.

This is simply a breathtaking arrangement. Not to mention, the tiny bite-sized cookies look adorable.

The teapot and cup cookies are so creative and lovely.

The first and last cupcakes remind me of the Chinese embroidered umbrellas.

Ohhhhh look at the cream.......
