BAKING WEEKEND MARATHON <3
Hmmm..honestly I don't know how to start talking about this crazy and non stop baking weekend of mine. Well for one, it's crazy cause I literally baked all day starting from Saturday evening - then took a rest - and baking the whole Sunday again. I actually made almost all the recipes listed in my baking list last Sunday #just sayiiiiing! Anywaaay, that's not even the crazy part yeeet! cause I seriously wooke up at around six thirty-ish in the morning to baaake the heart shaaped riich chocolateeeyy & fudgeyyy caake & the laaast batch of SMOOORES CUPCAAAKES for the weeeek <3
*DROOOOOLS
and
*DROOOLS SOME MOOORE
Oh and btw, did I tell you that ALL of what happened were really spontaneous? yeeep!!! Cause I was in my traveling mood and was planning to venture in the Northern part of our countryy to witness this flowery parade contest famously knoown as the PANAGBENGA FESTIVAL with some of my closest frieeends. Well, I guess, there's alwaays a NEEEXT YEEAAR, RIGHT? :)
