I finally baked my cupcakes!

And here they are!

I tried yesterday the recipe of the Martha Stewart's cupcake showed... and...well, I didn't like it AT ALL . In a moment the recipe says to add water... and this is how it tastes after... water and lot lot of sugar... 

So I tried my "regular recipe" and I am really happy with it!

I did Italian meringue on the top and let them without chocolate...

I'm just afraid I ate TO MUCH of it... Fortunately this morning I ate fish... well, this is the first real test, we will see tomorrow if, even eating 4 cupcakes unfrosted and 2 with frosting I will have lost weight because it's still home baked cake...

Result tomorrow... I'll let you know!

No cupcake made = bad diet results!

Yes, today I had no time to make any cupcake... and I already know it won't be good tomorrow when I will measure my weight.. (will I? ;-) )
And the worth is... I already know which cupcake I want to do!! It's this one: with chocolate and Italian meringue... humm, must be just delicious!!
But I'm not even sure I will be able to do it tomorrow... cause I don't know how the baby will be and.. I have to go to the dentist... cause I have a problem: at night I "bite" my teeth... grrrrr

Well, I will see, I hope to find the time... if you try it before me, just tell me what you think about! Thanks, and have a good night, you people who read (I see you!!) and don't leave a comment ;-)

Emergency lemon cupcake (a lemon cupcake in 5 minutes with micro wave !)

As I promised, today I created a new emergency cupcakes recipe!

THE LEMON EMERGENCY CUPCAKE!

and it's just... yumm!

Here comes the recipe :

4 tablespoons of cake flour 

4 tablespoons of sugar

4 tablespoons of lemon juice

1 egg

3 tablespoons of milk

2 tablespoons of oil

I recommend you mix everything in the mug and you add the egg at last.

When you got well mixed, put the mug in the micro wave for 3 minuts at max power (1000 Watts)

I am currently with a very dynamic baby in my arms, so I can't write a lot, but, as always, if you like this recipe or just the idea of the recipe, don't forget to comment, share, twitt, facebook etc! 

THANKS and enjoy your cupcake!!!

Some news

Hi there!
Yesterday I kind of "did everything wrong"... ate all my ice cream box, ate a big piece of cake full of coffee butter cream... well I just couldn't survive... my son was TERRIBLE, screaming all the time, I just wanted some peace!! I told my husband so (he was at work), and he bought me some help: a delicious cake  with coffee butter cream... so... well, everybody who knows me knows what happened (it ain't that difficult anyway!) . But I can't blame myself for this, I needed some sweet help, some joy in my day, and it brought me that so...

But the nice surprise (unbelievable surprise) was my weight this morning... I have lost 0.1 kg = 0.2 pounds! OK, that's really few, but as I was expecting I had earned some... I was just happy! Today I made me an other cappuccino emergency cake (love it!) but tomorrow I have to invent some new recipe... can't just keep doing the same things...

Well, for those who read me, thank you and if you want, leave a comment (would make me feel less alone on the web ;-)

Bye bye, see you tomorrow!

Good morning!

Hi everybody (or somebody?)!
Well, I have to say I didnt' do the right thing yesterday evening... I was very tired, and when my husband proposed me to go to buy some ice cream... well, couldn't resitst! But I only ate a few, mixing it with my cappuccino cupcake so it helps me to eat less ice cream and be more satisfied, but... well, I don't expect to loose weight that way! The result this morning was... no change, still the same weight, well, I will just say, it's better than getting more pounds, so... I'm just an optimistic person!
Tonight I slept very very little time... my boy felt asleep at 2.20 AM and woke up at... 3.30 AM... how great! I managed to make him sleep again at 5 AM and slept until 9.30 AM... cool... OK, no problem, I will sleep more tomorow ;-) Now I am just thinking at what cool emergency cupcake I am going to invent!

Cappuccino emergency cupcake recipe ( microwave cupcake in 5 minuts ) !

I have just had a complete gourmet moment!
After lunch (chicken and tomatoes), I still had nothing prepared and I just loved the idea of Emergency cupcakes I had yesterday... so I thought, let's try an other one!!

But unfortunately, they are almost none micro wave cupcake recipe on the net... OK, so I just think it's my duty to invent them!

Today I have invented the Cappuccino emergency cupcake, I'll do my best to invent one a day for some time to fill this lack of cupcake micro wave recipe, so, please, if you read this post, just share on your blog, or on twitter or on facebook, or on what you want, so the cupcake micro wave recipes will be more easy to find for people all over the world... thanks for your help!

So, the recipe of the cappuccino micro wave cupcake (also called "emergency cupcake")

4 tablespoon of cake flour 

4 tablespoon of sugar

2 tablespoon of cappuccino powder

1 egg

3 tablespoon of milk

2 tablespoon of oil

I recommend you mix everything in the mug and you add the egg at last.

When you got well mixed, put the mug in the micro wave for 3 minuts at max power (1000 Watts)

I didn't ate it all, just little piece, and I even made me a "real" cappuccino... that was just a perfect moment! 

I am completely satisfied!

Let's start now!

Ok, today let's start the REAL diet!
Weight: as yesterday (at least!) : 59.1 kg = 130 lbs

I had cereal breakfast, I am going to try to drink a lot of water, and I am thinking of what to eat, and what cupcake to do... see you later!

Emergency Cupcake!

Yes, let's start with an emergency cupcake?

But... what is an emergency cupcake? 

An emergency cupcake is when you've got nothing planed, nothing to eat, and, it's just the moment when you will eat ANYTHING that isn't good for you, and without any satisfaction because it isn't what you want, it's just what you've got!

This is an emergency for your diet (and mine!)  That's why the first recipe I had to find, was to be sur this kind of emergency will find his cupcake, and here they are, let me introduce you:  

The emergency cupcakes made in 5 MINUTES !!

They are micro wave cupcakes, they are baked in a mug and they just need 3 minuts of baking and 2 of preparation!

Here are the recipes:

For the chocolate emergency cupcake:

4 tablespoon of cake flour (the one which already has baking powder)

4 tablespoon of sugar

2 tablespoon of cocoa powder

1 egg

3 tablespoon of milk

3 tablespoon of oil

I recommend you mix everything in the mug and you add the egg at last.

When you got well mixed, put the mug in the micro wave for 3 minuts at max power (1000 Watts)

Let it cold a bit and... enjoy your emergency!

For the vanilla emergency cupcake:

4 tablespoon of cake flour (the one which already has baking powder)

4 tablespoon of sugar

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 egg

3 tablespoon of milk

3 tablespoon of vanilla yogurt

Do the same as for the other emergency cupcake!

This one is maybe a little less tasty, but you can add it apple, or other fruits to make it healthier ;-)

OK, now we are ready for emergencies!!

Hi everybody!

Here is the begining of my adventure! After my pregnancy, I just have a few pounds more than I would like... And it's quite hard to make them go!

I am not a very "veggys and fruits" woman (even if I know it's VERY VERY HEALTHY ;-) ) and I'am more like a good pastry lover, cupcakes specialy...

But I've realized something that's quite interesting: more I bake, less I eat, and it really helps me to loose weight...

Could be because I only use good ingredients (I mean real ingredients, and not the powders the use to make biscuits and stuff), and I don't use "fructose" etc, wich I am completely sure, have on me the effect of a real drug... I eat, and just can't stop until I finish all the cakes I have at home!

And it could be because, when I cook, I SEE a lot of food, and for a long time, I smell for a long time too, while it bakes, and I get involved, buy the ingredients, make everything, I spend time on my kitchen and with food, so I get "satisfied" about it...

Anyway, here is the deal: I am going to bake cupcakes almost every day (to have cupcakes every day), tell you how many time it took me in my day, tell you what other things I ate (no, I won't just eat cupcakes! In fact, I want to eat "healthy" but have a great happiness moment with at least 2 cupcakes a day)

And I'll tell you every day my weight! Well, today I won't tell you what I have eaten because... hummm.. it  was my last day eating bad!

Let's start with my weight this morning : 59.1 kg = 130 lbs

The weight I want for now to say " I recovered after pregnancy" is : 55 kg = 121 lbs

Let's go!
