Life is what you bake it!

Inspired of this quote I made a drawing including muffins, cupcakes and macarons among others. Later that same day I turned the words into action. I was also longing to use my brand new forcing bag!



The topping on these muffins is a cream made of cream cheese, lime juice and icing sugar, I found the recipe in my macaron book, normally it's used as the filling for lime macarons. I also made little details of almond paste to add something extra. ;)



I poured frosen raspberries into my muffin batter (really wanted strawberries since it goes very well with lime, but they didn't have any in my local supermarket) I added some food colouring as well, cuz pink is pretty!



I used these new forms from IKEA, for the first time. They're a little bit taller and thinner than regular muffin forms so I figured they'd be great when you want to add some topping.

Mix the juice from half a lime with 120 gram cream cheese, 2 table spones of icing sugar and add some grated lime zest for a more intense flavour!

When the muffins were ready I sat down to work on my roses and bows... ;)

Small roses. Maybe they look more like tulips...






Bisou!
