Vanilla cupcakes
These easy vanilla cupcakes are so simple to make. Decorate with a swirl of delicious buttercream frosting.

Ingredients

For the buttercream icing

Preparation method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale. Beat in the eggs a little at a time and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Fold in the flour using a large metal spoon, adding a little milk until the mixture is of a dropping consistency. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until they are half full.
  4. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into one of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack.
  5. For the buttercream icing, beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth.
  6. Then add the remaining icing sugar with one tablespoon of the milk, adding more milk if necessary, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  7. Add the food colouring and mix until well combined.
  8. Spoon the icing into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe the icing using a spiralling motion onto the cup cakes in a large swirl.

Inner peace.


Shen : How did you find peace? I took away your parents, everything, I scarred you for life...
Po    : See that's the thing, Shen, scars heal.
Shen : No they don't... *wounds* heal.
Po    : Oh, yeah... what do scars do? They fade, I guess...
Shen : I don't care what scars do...!
Po    : You should, Shen. You got to let go of the stuff from past - because it just doesn't   matter! The only thing that matters is what you choose to be now. 

So, how to heal the scars? Or wounds? Or maybe that's true, like the wise men said, time heals all wounds?

Senja Di Pelabuhan Kecil.

buat Sri Ajati


Ini kali tidak ada yang mencari cinta 
di antara gudang, rumah tua, pada cerita 
tiang serta temali. Kapal, perahu tiada berlaut 
menghembus diri dalam mempercaya mau berpaut 

Gerimis mempercepat kelam. Ada juga kelepak elang 
menyinggung muram, desir hari lari berenang 
menemu bujuk pangkal akanan. Tidak bergerak 
dan kini tanah dan air tidur hilang ombak. 

Tiada lagi. Aku sendiri. Berjalan 
menyisir semenanjung, masih pengap harap 
sekali tiba di ujung dan sekalian selamat jalan 
dari pantai keempat, sedu penghabisan bisa terdekap

Aku.

Kalau sampai waktuku
'Ku mau tak seorang 'kan merayu 
Tidak juga kau 

Tak perlu sedu sedan itu 

Aku ini binatang jalang 
Dari kumpulannya terbuang 

Biar peluru menembus kulitku 
Aku tetap meradang menerjang 

Luka dan bisa kubawa berlari 

Dan aku akan lebih tidak perduli 

Aku mau hidup seribu tahun lagi

Beautiful in white.


Not sure if you know this
But when we first met
I got so nervous I couldn't speak
In that very moment
I found the one and
My life had found its missing piece

So as long as I live I'll love you
Will have and hold you
You look so beautiful in white

And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight

What we have is timeless
My love is endless
And with this ring I
Say to the world
You're my every reason you're all that I believe in
With all my heart I mean every word

So as long as I live I'll love you
Will have and hold you
You look so beautiful in white

And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight

You look so beautiful in white
So beautiful in white
Tonight

And if a daughters what our future holds
I hope she has your eyes
Finds love like you and I did
Yeah, I wish she falls in love and I'll let her go
I'll walk her down the aisle
She'll look so beautiful in white
You look so beautiful in white

So as long as I live I'll love you
Will have and hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight.
