♥HEART BROWNIE BUTTONS @ BAKING W DORIE♥

 After these intensely gooey Brownies made their Debut here , u'd wanna think its raining brownies..well id love to think of it that way , but here's a birthday celebration.
And i think i should call these Super cuteeee+ super quick, one bowl , zesty , chocolaty ,light and  yummm, chocolate brownie babies.
Apparently , yes , i have not learnt the art of writing short and sweet yet, so please put up with my lonnng tittle's till then.

Super quick , coz all u do is melt the butter, chocolate and brown sugar in a pan , add vanilla and some zest rubbed vanilla sugar , when cooled stir in an egg, and fold in flour and bing, ur brownie batter is ready to bake and this is one delicious batter , but then i love to eat all sorts of batters , yeah me , the very me who really doesnt fancy raw eggs.

 I actually thought i'll bake them in a pan and then cut them out with my little heart cookie cutter , but then decided otherwise.
The lemon zest in there, is jus so light , yet a good addition.

Baking With Dorie , started by the wonderful ,GrapeFruit , is celebrating ,one year of baking thru , Baking from My home to yours , and im glad to be part of this small group and today celebrate one year of (not)baking with them.

 And no , i havent been for a year , but the few months i have been here , i have baked some wonderful goodies along with the gang.

Pretty in pink here.

 We have something special for u , these little babies ,packed all up, hope u enjoy...

We sure are....

These are the cutest brownies ever , i mean they are called brownie Buttons and thought the pics might not show it , they are tiny , half of my little finger , almost.

And i can't seem to resist hearts , vanilla and pink , besides other things so u have an overdose here too, with a Fair warning , lods of pics - step by step and finished babies.

 And they are a really good chocolaty snack to have , when those sweet pangs , strike after lunch , early evening , or night ...well for me they strike in the mornings and then i cant seem to get rid of the pangs thru out the day , i need something sweet and if its gooey and chocolaty ,all the better.

VANILLA LAVENDER ROMEO AND JULIET CAKE-FEBRUARY CHALLENGE-HAVE THE CAKE

A pairing of cheese and Guava paste make a Romeo and Juliet cake , here a totally vanilla cake , that has cheese in it , and covered with a 7hour home simmered perada, also with vanilla , and a little sprinkling of Lavender here and there...

I dressed up the cake as my imagination of Juliet , full of love ,as the shape of the cakes, with flowers and crystals pins in her golden hue'd hair , in long layered gowns of wispy lace , in pink....

Here shot , as rustically (ok sort of...) as might have been in the pathways and cobblestone ways of Europe...

Romance and love....so in the air...by 365....

Have the cake is the second group {the first one doesnt run anymore so this almost like first now}, i joined after joining in blogosphere!

I have lods of reasons as to why i have caught up inbetween one of the main being, i was without a laptop for a few months co our order was delayed by the company!

 Christmas time was delighting and we are thru the month of love , oh yeah lovee is in the air *365 and this is sooo wonderful!!

Its my turn to chose this months recipe and after going to and fro , around 4 , really wonderful but quick recipes  this one  finally  made me feel like i arrived home....jus fitted in ....for the month of love*365...

Before this one,I thought and baked and thought and baked ....and then baked some more and thought and came up with lodsss of baked goodies options, oh so right for valentines!

Some things dat will breathe love into the air after its baked.....in a rustic way....as if ur down the local coffee shop ,by cobblestones in Europe, having the most romantic holiday fo ur life and enjoying every min of dng so.... its the month of love after all and what could be better than the ROmeo and Juliet Cake , jus like the perfect pairing in love , {ok minus the tragic end}, here 's a perfect pairing of cheese and Guava paste....

Here's a link where u can make it easily at home or maybe buy it at a store , and well , if none of the options appeal to u ,dont fret , but go rite ahead and chose any pink /red, preserve/jam/jelly and make it ur own!

Happiness doesnt elude me a single day & the reasons keep piling on too.
These brownies have to be the toast of the season really!!!

 Oh loveee is soo in the air * 365 + these were baked for someone special , someone warm and someone filled with genuine love ...

Was and am more than thrilled for baking these for the reason + this months Forever Nigella is seduced by chocolate.

Isn't Gooey chocolate , more so gooey chocolate brownies , jus that?

And Dark gooey chocolate in some gooey brownies....ahh sure seductive...

Am sure Ms.Lawson would have loved to baked these for someone as wonderful , packed them in a nice box and gone along too.

 And yeah these have to be re-named as intensely chocolatey super delicious best ever fudgy brownies, and actually there are jus a few steps, melt the butter and chocolate , add the whisked sugar ,vanilla and eggs , fold in flour and nuts , and BAKE ....
I have step by step pics to make it seem easier but at the end thats all there is to it really.

Glitter and glittering hearts ...wouldn Nigella approve that jus a sprinkle of something dresses these up ?
Yes, next time i must have little candles popped into them , what i loveee is Nigella gives credit to the candle idea to her fren, a rare quality among the celebrity chefs to , goes on to say how endearing her heart is....

AM LOVING THIS WEEK...COME FALL IN LOVE...

SUNSHINE THURSDAY-RAYS THAT SPARK'D e BRIGHTENNED MY SMILE DIs WEEK...

Welcome to the second edition of Sunshine Thursdays or  what am  loving this week , and u'll find my first post here and the rest here.

So in going with the flow of sharing about my fav tools ,what happens in the background and more , here is my first post about  Cool blogger tips and tricks:-)

Food bloggers we are who love food blogging....

We love to play with eggs , flour and butter , not necessarily in that order.

As muc as with milk ,  honey ,oil ,and nuts , where tea times are to love and enjoy , not coz we have to.

A mixing bowl excited us more than a tee or keds do.

VANILLA CINNAMON HEARTY KISS "SQUARES"

The fragrance of Cinnamon with Vanilla is addictive , something u always want ur kitchens and homes to smell of.

I for one totally lovee having freshly grated cinnamon with my coffee everyday , a coffee aint exaclty to ''wake'' me up , its more for me to enjoy and love , and whenever i am baking i always brew some coffee, yeah and i have a new fav too:-) and something to keep the coffee warm ,but saving that for another post , ie the Loving this week posts which i so plan to post with a linky every wednesday/thursday!

Hope i do!

Back to these bars , they are chosen by my very dear pal Chaya , for thi weeks Bake @ Baking with Dorie , a small group , started by Grapefruit ,we are baking our way thru Baking from my home to urs...twice a month and with barely any rules.

Makes for a relaxed baking and posting, which is always an incentive!

I cannot resist baking hearts and i did so with these too :-), they are absolutely lovely with coffee or as a midnight snack...

Hearts of all sizes , with a dark chocolate Nutella topping....

I had a little disaster , that turned into a delicious treat , look below for details and pics:-)

MADAGASCAR VANILLA BEAN RED VELVET LINZER HEARTS WHOOPIE PIES @BAKED SUNDAY MORNINGS

The whole place ,and more so the open kitchen , smells like cake right now.....ok Chocolate cake ....doesnt that sound good?

Wait wait....Red Velvet Chocolate cake....ahh better???

I think i can call these a cookie cake , and this is the first time i am  ever enjoying one or eating one coz there are no whoopie pies that happen here.

Ok ok heart shaped linzer Red Velvet Whoppie pies,  with Marshmallow fluff filling......now now , that is what completes the pic!

This should be there at every wedding , maybe on a lolly stick , but they should be there for sure.

Coz they are like a wedding , when 2 become one , here 2 whoopie pie singles , come together to make one deliciously cute whoopie pie.

This is my first post for Baked Sunday Mornings , where we are baking our way thru the new BAked +no rules, always a +, its also the first time ever im biting into a whoopie pie , so honestly i have no nostalgic memories of this one , but have been looking forward to a whoopie pie , so its a post of all firsts happening here.

They were lovely , the chocolaty flavor so good, with Vanilla making it better , i thought espresso would bring it out more , but than that would not be a red velvet than no?

The reason i chose the Marshmallo fluff filling , from the whoopie pie pan box, is coz ,as far as i know, thats what goes into whoopie pies , and i so wanted that.

I love Linzer cookies ,and Faith , a sweet and dear friend has these linzer cupcake up , ever since ,everything i bake , i want to make them Linzer.
Oh yes , there will be cupcake too:-)
And Linzer = piping some more fluffy filling in the cut out , detailed pics below...

And these are the CupCake Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, oh yeah , hearts...and there are some more below..

SWeeT TaRT DoUGH in LITTLE BLUEBERRY ALMOND TARTS @FFwD

Tart dough is one of the most important {ok quite important} doughs to have stashed in the freezer and though i do loveee to bring it all together fresh every time , i wouldn mind at all to have some tart dough stashed away.

And since this week with FFwD , has the orange almond tart , actually one of the first 2 tarts i baked from AMFT , or for that matter , my v first recipes , and have been looking forward to post this.
Yeah , its been awhile since i baked this , but it feels like yesterday , oh i must bake this soon again.
I went the blueberry way , and i think lods of red and peachy fruits would make this pretty, as would hearty shapes.
Sure u can bake this without the crust too.....

I love the making of a tender ,very buttery dough which can be jus pressed into the pan.

The best parts if u freeze it ,pressed in the pan , u can directly bake it partially ,without any weights whatsoever.

AM LOVING THIS WEEK...COME FALL IN LOVE...

 SUNSHINE THURSDAY-RAYS THAT SPARK'D e BRIGHTENNED MY SMILE DIS WEEK....

And its actually the nip in the air, that helps keep the coffee love alive.

Loving all the baking and cooking galore. And all the super cute stuff mom and bro get me.

And for now , am totally not having enough of going thru , my new lot of books .....

In the pipeline for these thursday specials are places to shop online,cute stuff and more.
