Hi guys!
I’ve got a real classic for you today: Vanilla Rice Pudding, or as we call it in Dutch, rijstpap. It is by far my grandpa’s favorite dessert. I came across this creamy recipe from Koken op Hakken and I knew I just had to make it. I bet my grandpa will be stoked when I bring him this yummy homemade Vanilla Rice Pudding!
Hi guys!
You know those days where you want chocolate, but not all chocolate. You also want cake. But not just cake. You basically want chocolate in a different texture. Sunday was that kind of day. But no worries, I’ve got you covered! This Brownie Vanilla Cake is the best of both worlds! It’s got that chocolate flavour and the soft texture of a cake. It’s the perfect combo for those kind of days 😉
Hi guys!
Okay, Belgium didn’t play very well last game against Italy. Let’s admit it: it was painful to watch. I know they tried, but they just weren’t good enough. Our Belgian Red Devils need to step up their game and I’m convinced these Belgian Red Devils Cupcakes will help them win tomorrow!
I shared these babies with you before, when Belgium played at the World Championship. I believe they’ll bring our team good luck since they did great then. So now they’ll have to be great tomorrow as well! These cupcakes are perfect to make with the kids. So let’s all bake and cheer for Belgium!
Hi guys!
I know, you’re wondering why all of a sudden I post on Wednesday, right? Well, because today is my birthday! I thought it’d be more fun to post it on the actual day 🙂
I didn’t think I was going to go for a theme but it turned out I secretly chose “pretty in pink” for my birthday theme. Oh well, it’s not really a theme but my cupcakes were wearing pink wrappers and my pictures do involve pink tulips…
Pink actually is the perfect colour for my new age. At least, that’s what I think 🙂
How old it is I am now? 22! 😀 Admit it, 22 is the perfect age for a touch of pink 🙂
AAAAND Sarah’s Little Kitchen turned 2 last month! Can you believe it? That calls for a party 🙂
Hi guys!
What a mouth full, isn’t it? :p
The full title actually is: Vanilla Christmas Tree Cupcakes with fluffy Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting.
Try saying that five times in a row!
I know Christmas is already behind us, sadly. But I still wanted to share my Christmas Trees with you!
This frosting is the fluffiest, most delicious and subtle frosting I’ve ever had or made!
It’s got this subtle taste of cinnamon in it which makes it perfect for all ages! And even for people who aren’t such Cinnamon fans 😉
Hi guys!
I just can’t believe I’ve never shared this simple Vanilla Cake with you! I’ve tried all sorts of cake, Apple Cake, Blueberry Cake, Halloween Cakes, … But never have I shared a cake as simple and ‘ordinary’ as a Vanilla Cake!
Shame on me…
(I have to admit that I never even made one before!)
But I’ll make it up to you 🙂
May I present to you: my easy peasy simple Vanilla Cake!
Hi guys!
My Dad celebrated his birthday today (YAY!)
Unfortunately for him he had to work.
But he had a nice surprise when he came home because I made him a birthday cake!
I wanted to make him a frog cake. My Dad likes frogs a lot.
Really, A LOT!
But then I saw the cake I made today because it looked like the perfect cake to give to a dad 😀 (or any man)
I’m sorry little frogs, try again next year! This year, it’s all about the “moustache”.
It’s true, it IS all about the moustache these days (“these days” are lasting for a while now…)
You can find moustaches on everything! Mugs, T-shirts, tops, jewelry, …
And also on cake!
Let’s move on to the cake 😉
What do we need:
How to:
Mix the sugar, vanilla sugar and butter together until the sugar is completely absorbed by the butter.
Add the eggs. Add the milk alternated with the flour.
Make sure everything is mixed together properly.
Put the batter in the cake tin.
Bake the cake for about 50 minutes at 180 degrees centigrade.
Use a sharp knife to stick in the middle of the cake when it’s done to check it.
Let the cake cool.
The moustache:
We have our round cake.
Use a knife to make this “Yin & Yang” shape.
Place the two pieces like this to get the shape of a moustache.
It’s okay if the two sides aren’t equal. Firstly, you can still cut it the way you want it to be.
Secondly, a moustache usually isn’t equal on both sides either :p
I did cut the shape a bit. Because, as you can see, it really wasn’t equal. Not that I wanted that but this looked too different to me.
Melt the chocolate and decorate the moustache with it.
(You can still cut the moustache when it’s covered in chocolate -> I did.)
Put the moustache in the fridge to let the chocolate get stiff.
Happy Birthday Dad! ❤
Have a delicious day!

Hi guys!
Belgium did a very good job in the World Cup yesterday! 2-1 against Algeria!!
The whole country celebrated and so did my dad and I 😉
Let’s hope the Belgian Red Devils can keep up the good work 😀
When I said ‘the whole country celebrated’, I really meant the WHOLE country!
Even the youngest citizens want to cheer for Belgium.
So it doens’t come as a surprise that my boyfriend’s nephew (Alexander) wanted Red Devils Cupcakes for his birthday!
I wanted them to say ‘Belgium’ and, of course, ‘Red Devils’. You’ll see the Belgian flag and the logo of the Red Devils on the cupcakes 🙂
I hope Alexander and his friends will like them 🙂
The cupcakes are my vanilla cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting. You can find the recipe here.
I went to visit my Aunt today. I have two nieces… One is having her birthday party at school next week…
Oh yes, Red Devils Cupcakes all over again!
Have a delicious day! (Or night in my case…) ❤

Hi guys!
I’ve been looking for new recipes to try since my post about my cookbook addiction
I wanted to try a new book but I had some blueberries who were at the end of their lives…
And since my boyfriend took me on a trip for 4 days, I had to make something with blueberries.
I didn’t want them to go rotten.
I didn’t had much time because we were leaving around noon. So I decided to make a cake with blueberries and white chocolate.
Why would I make a cake when I went on a little holiday?
Well, I have parents who live here and they weren’t going away 🙂
The cake was completely gone when I came home yesterday 😉
What do we need:
How to:
Mix the sugar with the butter together until the sugar is completely absorbed.
Add the eggs. Add the flour alternated with the milk.
Add the blueberries and blend them in the mixture.
Chop the chocolate and add it.
Put the cake in the oven for about 1 hour at 180 degrees centigrade
Use something sharp (a knife for example) to put in the cake to check if it’s ready.
If the cake is ready, let it cool for a bit in the baking can before cooling it on a trey.
The blueberries will sink to the bottom of the cake because they’re heavier than the dough.
The sprinkles on top of the cake are the pieces of chocolate that I sprinkled on top of the dough.
I hope you’ll enjoy this cake!
Have a delicious week ❤

Hi guys!
You all know how my pasion for fashion baking started.
(For those of you who don’t, you can read it here)
I have to admit, they seem rather boring compared to the amazing cupcakes you guys have been posting…
But I still love my plain vanilla cupcakes 🙂
I make them less boring by decorating them 😉
These, for example, were the first cupcakes I’ve ever decorated. It was during my first workshop.
I gave my second workshop as a gift to my best friend. We had so much fun!
I have to say I was completely shocked when they said they make their cupcakes with a MIX!
Okay, they had their own mix for cupcakes… But still!
Homemade cupcakes are sooooooo much better!
(Okay if you’re in a hurry)
Sorry, I just had to mention it… Let’s continue
I know I’m not a pro at all when it comes to decorating, but I believe exercise will get me there.
I hope to do more workshops in the future to improve my skills 🙂 Or I’ll learn it on my own.
What do we need:
– 220g cristal sugar
– 220g butter
– 220g self-raising flour
– 4 eggs
How to:
First, mix the sugar with the butter until the sugar is absorbed. Then, add the eggs while mixing.
It should become a liquid, homogeneous mass. Add the self-raising flour. Mix it long enough to make sure everything is mixed properly.
Put some cupcake wrappers in the baking tin and fill them for 2/3 with batter. (I use an ice cream spoon to fill the wrappers, it’s easy 🙂 )
Put them in the oven for 25 minutes on 180 degrees centigrade.
If the cupcakes are ready, push your finger gently on the cupcake. If it comes back to its original form, they’re done 🙂
You can decorate them if you want to 🙂 Or you can frost them ofcourse 🙂
If I frost my cupcakes, I use a cream cheese frosting.
What do we need:
– 500g cream cheese
– 350ml cream (40% fat)
– 125g powder sugar: you can adapt the amount because some like it sweet, some like it sweeter 😉
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to:
First, whip the cream. Mix the cream cheese, the powder sugar and the vanilla extract together.
Add the whipped cream to the cream cheese etc. and gently mix it all together.
Here are a few extra pictures of my cupcakes:
(I’m sorry for the crappy photographs but they were made, a longer time ago, when I didn’t think about good pictures :s )
I made these last cupcakes when my parents were married for 22 years.
Have a delicious day! ❤
