Kronkron vol.2

Just the other day I was walking town town and went into Kronkron and there standing on the table was the most beautiful pair of shoes I have ever seen! So I am honoring Kronkron for being so brilliant with this blog and one day I am going to march inside that store and buy myself that pair of shoes!

There are no words. . .

Milk-chocolate buttons

Having that project to make something out of my beautiful berries I decided to make milk chocolate buttons. Those are the most delicious cupcakes in the world! and mostly because they are made from milk chocolate. And I am going to share this little pice of heaven with you. 

Makes 12

75g unsalted butter

75g milk chocolate, chopped 

80g soft brown sugar

2 eggs, lightly beaten

60g self raising flour, sifted

Ganache:

80g milk chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons thick (double/heavy) cream

raspberries to decorate :)

Preheat the oven to 160°C 
and then line 12 mini muffin holes with paper cases
Place the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and sit the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure that bowl doesn't  touch the water. Stir the chocolate until melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and mix in the sugar and egg. Stir in the flour.
Transfer the mixture to a jug and pour evenly among the cases. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer into a wire rack to cool completely. 
To make the ganache, place the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl. Sit the bowl over saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Once the chocolate has almost melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir until the remaining chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow to thicken slightly. 


Then decorate with raspberries or something that you like :)

Berry heaven

Hello there!
Sorry that I haven't been able to post that much for  a few days now but I have been so busy!
But I am posting now and it is a good one ;)
Now the fall has arrived and I´m loving it! My raspberry tree has been going crazy and I go out every day and pick a full bowl of raspberry´s. So I have to bake or make something out of theme very quick before they go bad and it just get´s better and better!
The problem is that I have been in school, gymnastics every day now and flute. then I have to study and so on so it has really been a crazy week!
I hope your week was wonderful :)

Igor+André

A few months ago I found this amazing site called Igor+André, but then i lost it and for a few days now I have been obsessed with finding it again and this morning I finally did. It´s a site where an artist named Danny Roberts posts his drawings, paintings and more and it is so beautiful! I basically can´t stop browsing trough it. 

Here are a few pieces he made.

Topshop fever...

Once again I have lost my self in the Topshop sales, and I don´t regret a thing! Topshop is one of my favorite shops and my favorite things in it are all of the beautiful accessories. So it was only natural that I bought myself a few of them :)

Treasure of the day.

The coolest ever phone necklace.

Beautiful feather earrings.

The summer continues. . .

I´ve always had a bit of an interest in photography and maybe I want to be a photographer when I grow up, but I don´t have to decide that in the nearest future so for now on I am only going to enjoy how fun it is and how much I enjoy it.
So here are a few more summer pictures that my friend Sólveig took of me a few days ago.
