A.A.- Appealing Aroma

Hi everyone!

I brought half of the cake I baked yesterday to school today and shared it with some special people :) Seems like I have not lost my touch- this encouraged me to bake again. :D  And atm, I have 12 cupcakes sitting on the kitchen table, waiting to be iced. Mmm.  Yesternight, I had a bit of leftover ganache, and I spent the rest of the night eating that stuff. Lol. I need to exercise. SKIPPING!  Yus. So I opted for butter icing instead of ganache on these cupcake babies. Hopefully they'll be just as good.

Photos later.

Not much to blog about today, except :O --> Baker's Delight? INDEEDY xD Delightful.

Humdiho.

Today when I was fblog (hehe food blog) surfing, I found Betty's Bites which was EXTREMELY interesting to me; esp her latest post about high tea at the Swissotel.  Those of you who have been following for a while will know I've wanted to go to a dessert buffet/high tea restaurant or any kind of dessert restaurant for a very long time, and I've considered the Swissotel and many others before.

To see her post on the Swissotel, click here!

During the next few years I'll be spending my weekends doing fun fun things like eating my way around Sydney. Since I probably won't make many friends while attending university during the evening ==; I'll probably have no one to eat with, so those who are interested, volunteer! TELL ME YOU WANT TO EAT WITH ME! And I'll try to organise something throughout the year. 

SPEAKING OF ORGANISED EVENTS~ Blackmore's Sydney Running Festival is going on this SUNDAY, 20th September.  I got a call from a lady asking if I had any queries, and I said "YES I DO" and asked her about public transport.

Apparently, the light rail is supposed to operate during special occasions such as these, but I am waiting for her to call back confirming that.  It has been about 2 hours since she called, so now I am a bit ermy about the "facts" she gave me. Will check up later- if I remember. Someone double check. I'm really bad at reading/comprehending things (as reflected in my Advanced English Paper One exam XD)

LETS GO EATING AFTERWARDS IN OUR FUNKY VOLUNTEER TSHIRTS AND CAPS!

The question is.. where? And what type?

During the past years of my life, my family and I have always gone to eat Japanese and Chinese, Vietnamese- Asian cuisine.  We never go to fancy Western restaurants where they serve plates with gazillions of spoons and forks on the side.  Infact, the time Shaun took us to Catalonia was the first time I had ever walked into some kind of Western alfresco dining.

Pause. My sister finished yesterday's cake. LOL! In less than 10 minutes, she finished about 1/3 of the cake which was leftover from this morning. Holy crap. HAHA She's worse than me. :( The future looks grim. It's bad enough that we like the same types of food- but now I have to compete with a super fast eater? NO WAY!  Unpause.

My dad's actually quite an anti-western cuisine person.  He doesn't even like japanese all that much.  "Chinese is the best" is something he says alot- but I have to disagree. Although the portions may be generous and the flavours strong, IT'S JUST SO DIFFERENT from Western stuff I don't think it should be compared!  This is why I'm quite eager to eat at restaurants which serve fusion foods (lol sounds funky).  Like Tetsuya's. 

Hm. I don't know what to say now.  Once I click "Publish Post" I know I'll have a whole crapload of stuff to say.  ==;  I'm just so distracted by the smell of cupcakes and thinking about The Tea Room :D:D:D

Oh yes- for all those who are like me and own NO make up (leading up to formal) I'd like to present to you a really horrible fact. I asked my cousin when I was on the phone with her earlier, about how much in total her set of face painting gear costs and she said some number with three digits.

HOLY GUACAMOLE.

If I rock up looking plain and normal you'll know why ;)

ZZZ. Single ladies ;) I am dancing.. again- even though I said I'd never do that again. Ohmygosh It looks so hard. :(
