Cupcake Addiction

Images by Miss Addict

I baked Cup Cakes. I had this random impulse to bake.. this impulse happens every now and then usually when I am stressed. So I created some gorgeous chocolate laden treats to cheer me up and to share with my family. So I took some photos and thought I would share with you, along with the recipe.

Cupcake Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavour
• 125 grams of butter
• 1 1/3 cup of self raising flour
• 2/3 of a cup of castor sugar
• Two eggs
• Two tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 1/4 of a cup of milk

Method:

1. Place the butter, castor sugar and the vanilla in a mixing bowl. Mix the cupcake mixture together for three minutes, add eggs and then beat for a further three minutes.

2. Stir in the self raising flour, the cocoa powder and the milk and then mix until well combined.

3. Place teaspoons of chocolate cupcake mixture into patty pans and bake in oven at 180 degrees Celsius for twenty minutes.

4. Remove from oven let cool before

Icing Ingredients:

• 150g Butter - softened
• 250g Icing sugar
• 2 tbls cocoa powder
• 2 tsp very hot water

Method

1. Beat together the butter and sugar with an electric beater.

2. Once well combined, add the combined cocoa powder and water. Beat until smooth and creamy.

A Quick Note on Commenting

Hi Guys,

Just a quick note on the new commenting system. I have installed Intense Debate to replace bloggers standard comments. It looks very different and isn't as clean looking as I would like but it has a couple of upsides.

• You can now use your Twitter account to comment if you would like (If you do this I shall like add your to my Twitter Followers)

• You can use you Intense Debate account to comment (That is what that login button is for) or your OpenID if you have one.

• You can also still comment without having to login at all

• Threaded commenting is now available meaning that if someone replies to your comment it will show up underneath rather than at the bottom of the stack. You can also subscribe to Replies to your comments as well as the whole lot.

• You can now have an Avatar next to your comment using Gravatar which is also used on sites such as Chalkbored

There is also the downside of no longer being able to log in with your blogger/google account but I think the upsides outweigh this. If you have a blog/website put it in the "Website" field and it will turn your name into a link to your site. I will definitely check it out and you might find yourself in Link Love at some point.

I will be writing up a commenting policy sometime soon but in the mean time check out my post on How to Be a Good Commenter

Also I reply to every comment I get so make sure you subscribe to comments or check back!

So Tell me what you think People. Comment and try out the new system. Let me know what you love or loath about it.

Geeky Style "Girl" and "Guy" Versions.

I was informed that my Fashion Articles so far are sexist as they only featured looks for girls! Whoops! Sorry guys. So I decided to create a bunch of looks in a "Girl" and "Guy" Version Mainly because I couldn't find a lot of unisex stuff out there. It was a challenge to keep the looks consistent but interesting while still making them wearable.

Using A T-shirt as a base for both the "Girl" and "Guy" versions I worked to find comparable items for each set. All the T-shirts are from Think Geek and on my Wish list!

First Up:

Guys Geeky Outfit #1 by Miss Addict featuring Converse shoes

Girl Geek Outfit #1 by Miss Addict featuring Converse shoes

"You Never Forget your first Doctor" Shirt as a base. I love this shirt with a passion being a MASSIVE Doctor Who fan. My Favourite part of this outfit is the Chucks and the "Girl" versions Jacket. That Jacket = Major lust for me! Please note I accidentally used Kids Chucks in these Sets but they do come in Adult Sizes!

The "Girl" version has a bit more zaniness to it due to the tights but if your not a zany person you could lose the coloured tights for plain ones. The "Guy" version is a slightly more complex version of the Basic "Guy" Look and could be added to with a coloured shirt under the Tshirt or by adding shorts and knee high socks to the look.



Second Up:

Guys Geeky Outfit #2 by Miss Addict featuring French Connection

Girl Geeky Outfit #2 by Miss Addict featuring Frye boots

For the Firefly Fans out there a "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" shirt. Wanted to add some of the feel of Firefly in the outfit, those the leather and cowboy-ish feel! The boots in these outfits are the "Girl" and "Guy" version of the Frye Engineer Boot. Accents of Gold to match the brown shirt and the boots make this a really handsome outfit whether worn by a girl or guy and I love the leather bag! I already own the City Of Angels Ring in Silver and its beautiful!

I think the "Guy" version ended up looking more Tailored while the "Girl" Version is a lot more flowy but if your a Girl who loves Tailored you could always wear similar pants to the "Guy" version and I have seen some Guys rocking a Flowy Cardigan!


and Third:

Guys Geeky Outfit #3 by Miss Addict featuring Converse shoes

Girl Geeky Outfit #3 by Miss Addict featuring Converse shoes

A Self Maintenance shirt forms the base item along with a pair of Classic High Top Converse All Stars.. I wanted to Match the colours of the chucks throughout the outfit without making it look really crowded . So I added Teal and Red accessories and tried to keep the feel of the outfit the same for both "Guy" and "Girl". The "Guy" Version of the outfit has less colour due to not being able to find as much to match. But as with all the outfits you could mix and match the accessories around to your liking.


So What do you peoples think? Ever Steal things from your Brothers/Sisters or BF/GF wardrobe?

Please Note I have used "Guy" and "Girl" in quotation marks since the outfits are based on traditional "Girl" "Guy" Stereotypes. However I have seen many a Guy rock a skirt and lots of Girls kick arse in Guys Jeans and a Waist Coat.

So My RSS reader got a little out of hand this week because I wasn't home last weekend to clean it out and then I was sick (All

Better Now don't Stress) So I have had to be very selective in what sharing because there is just SO much I could share.

To Begin:

• Gala Darling has a new Project called "Letters to the Universe" Really cute! Because who doesn't love Gala!

• I'm totally in love with cute overload (No surprise there) but this one made me "awwwww" out loud!

• A really interesting experiment taking place within the sims.

• Emma over at Lick my Cupcakes has a great project going. Like post secret but more immediate. Great Read

• Doe Deere is one of my favourite people on the Internet. This post about her Unicorn Outfit is amazingly inspiring.

• Evolution Graffiti So awesome! Must of taken a lot of work!

• Wataru Itou is an art student in Tokyo. His art work is hand made and took four years of hard work to construct. It has electrical lights, Ferris Wheel, and a moving train, all made of paper! The photos are utterly stunning and beautiful!
  

• Sydney Design Festival is on from the 1st of August and I shall be having a look around that lemme tell you. Details here: [Link]

10 Signs You're Addicted to Twitter

Twitter Pillow by Craftsquatch

I am addicted to Twitter. Whole heartedly. It came to me when I was walking home in the rain shielding my phone so I could send a tweet complaining about the rain! And thus I started composing this post. I am probably missing alot the signs of Twitter Addiction so feel free to add them in the comments!

1. The first thing you do when you wake up is to announce your presence to Twitter.

2. You Tweet people who are in the same house as you.My sister and I do this frequently...

3. Your friends no longer call you to find out how life is going since they now follow your every move on Twitter.

4. You use hash tags in IM conversations with friends. Extra points if you do it outloud in RL.

5. You have more than one Twitter Ap (eg. Twitteriffic, Tweetie, TweetDeck, Twirl or Digsby) installed on your computer and your choosen one runs automatically when you start the computer.

6. When you cant twitter you start to get withdrawl symptoms such as talking to yourself (but only in 140 characters or less).

7. You follow important news via "Trending Topics" i.e You heard about Michael Jacksons death via Twitter.

8. You need to log off Twitter or you dont get any work done... But you are still logged in.

9. You are constantly harassing friends and family to join Twitter. My Mother, Sister, Best Friend, Boyfriend and Assorted other people in my life are all on Twitter.

10. You walk into and trip over stationary objects because your Tweeting on the go... then you Tweet that you just fell over.

Many thanks to Corpsey, Chevell, gnomeangel, angelayang, joolzgirl and tizbanana on twitter who contributed idea via Twitter for this post. Follow all of them they are all awesome!

So People what other signs are there that you have a Twitter Addiction?
