As if those chocolate bunnies (which I’ve always had a weakness for- especially the giant ones from the hotels!) weren’t bad enough for my diet, Krispy Kreme Philippines is now offering up these special Easter doughnuts:
The springtime colors are adorable, and I would love to set out a bowl much like the one above at our Easter Sunday table. You see, because these doughnuts are Krispy Kreme, you know that they’re not just pretty- they probably taste awesome as well.
Visit Krispy Kreme Philippines’ website or one of their shops at Bonifacio High Street, TriNoma, SM Megamall, Mall of Asia, or Greenhills Shopping Center.
I am LOVING this right now- not only is it Tokidoki, it’s Le Sportsac- AND it’s a cake!
outside: tons of fondant to make the tokidoki figure (and a lot of toothpicks), and to create the bag. the hearts and crossbones were hand-piped by her assistant, claire, onto wax paper, then dried and applied to the cake with more royal icing. inside: eight layers of vanilla macadamia nut cake with buttercream and a generous lashing of grand marnier.

We had to bring the husband’s iMac in for repairs at the lovely Apple Store yesterday, and thought we’d drop by Cupcakes by Sonja on our way home. The cupcakes, all eight that we bought, went quickly- so quickly that all I could photograph was the box they came in. But it’s a pretty box.
This was the second time we’ve had Sonja’s cupcakes, and have already chosen our favorites, which are:
Red Velvet Vixen. Traditional Southern Cake made with Belgian Cocoa and Cream cheese icing. My personal favorite. I will not share this, not even with my dear sweet husband.
Bunny Huggers Carrot Cake. Very moist cake made with fresh carrots topped with cream cheese frosting. Okay, so I’m a sucker for cream cheese frosting- and for carrot cake, for that matter. This is nicely done, not too spicy.
Lemon Drop. Delicious vanilla cake smoothered in our signature lemon buttercream frosting. Tangy lemon, mmmm!

Believe me, I have no intention of turning this into a video blog- but when I came across Nigella’s Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe on YouTube, I couldn’t resist embedding it here. I love how messy Nigella is in the kitchen, because I’m the same way (see how she drips batter all over the pan while scooping).
If that isn’t super sarap, I don’t know what is.
