DIY Lace Mask

So you’re going to a masquerade ball, but you’r not in possession of a mask yet?

No worries, just make one! If you have all the supplies ready, this will only take 10 to 15 minutes and you’re ready to go.

(Sorry for the creepy face, got a little to excited with my homemade mask haha)

Sports Cakes

As much as I love to make little cute cupcakes, sometimes you just have to raise the bar a little and try to make some serious birthday cake. That’s what I did this week.

I was asked to make 2 birthday cakes for 2 different persons. The first one practically lives at the gym, the second one just loves soccer. These two themes in mind, I was ready to start my own episode of fabulous cakes!

The first one is just a red velvet cake coated in sugarpaste and decorated with marzipan figures (which I entirely made myself).

The second one is also a red velvet cake, coated in sugarpaste and decorated with marzipan. But this one has a cream cheese oreo filling (mm.. so good!).

Want to see more pictures or just make one yourself?

Healthy new year !

Happy new year everyone !

As you may have noticed, i haven't been blogging very much lately. I've been travelling a lot and as I like to take my time to write a piece, I ended up with several drafts I never published.

But it's the start of a new year which means it's time for some serious new year's resolutions! Or not. We all now the "new year, new me" is bullcrap, so I'm just keeping it simple with these 2 resolutions:

My 10 mile challenge !

I’ve never been much of a runner. It’s not that I don’t like running, I just get bored very easily. Nevertheless, I dared myself to run the annual Antwerp 10 miles!

I first started running on a treadmill, but after I’ve reached the distance of 4 km, I got bored and went outside. Best decision ever !  Running in fresh air with different surroundings really helps to clear my mind. Even now it’s getting colder, I still look forward to my weekly runs. So hope I’ll be able to keep up the good work and finish my 10miles in April!

‘Mancakes’

My boyfriend loves a good cake, but apparently he doesn't get the cupcake craze. He just wants his cake in a normal color, the rectangular size and decorated with ‘edible’ ingredients. But for our 5^th anniversary I thought it was a bit boring to just bake a traditional cake, so I decided to make him some ‘mancakes’ with a touch of girly love !

The result?  These cute pink heart-shaped cinnamon apple cakes.

Upcycle your shoes

Because rainy autumn weather equals .. crafting !

OOZOO timepieces

I’ve been seeing these lovely Dutch watches everywhere lately.

They’re pretty, they’re classy and they’re not even that expensive !
