A sweet treat………..

Hi guys

there isn´t barely anyone out there who doesn´t like cakes or cookies or all this yummy kind of stuff. 
Since I ate my first cupcake (that had been at The Pier in St. Petersburg, Florida – it was a vanilla one with pink frosting and a sugar Hello Kitty on top – will never forget that) I am totally addicted to those little sugar bombs. Throughout the years I tried a lot of different recipes for the cake and the frosting and lately I am very happy with those:
Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes 

For the dough:

250 gramms of butter
150 gramms of sugar
4 eggs 
250 gramms of flour
2 tablespoons of baking powder
4 tablespoons of baking powder

Mix everything together and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes by 160 degrees.

For the frosting:
I take Nutella for the chocolate cream because of the strong consistency
Cream Cheese
That´s it for the frosting
 Mix it together and put it in an injection bag for getting a nice shape of frosting on top ot the cupcakes.




Wishing everybody a great sunday.


Take care. See you. Love K.

We are golden – current decoration trend….

Hi guys

as I am doing some research on lots of decoration articles and ideas – because I am setting up and decorating my office space (finally) – there is one color that pops out the most at the moment – GOLD
I don´t know if it is because of the season or just because it is trendy right now but I have never seen so many decoration items in gold. I do like it a lot so it influences the color theme of my office the most. In the meantime (before I am revealling a new room of my house)  I am showing you some of the items I have purchased yet and some I am still thinking about.

Gold is a great color to combine for example with black to make it look mysterious and interesting or with white to give it a fresh and sparkling look.
So here are some pieces I picked out from different stores:

Candle in a pineapple (isn´t this such a cute thing – they also have pears)



Vase (nice for flowers or even just alone)

Mirror (looks like the sun – a nice eyecatcher instead of a picture)

Frame

Wooden picture (I love the font and the dots)

Wooden picture ( not really with golden color but still a nice change to the other items)

Bowl for sweets or just as decoration

Little golden wire balls

Candlestick in an old golden color

Bowl


Set of 3 little candleholders

Wishing you all a nice day and happy shopping.


Redecorationg always has been such fun for me. This is one of the things were I can be sooo creative and there are tons ideas popping up in my head.


Take care. See you. Love K.

Flowers and denim….

Hi guys

don´t we all love a good bargain ? And even more if it is this good looking ?!
I got this awesome maxi dress from the H&M summer sale for only 15 Euros. I almost can´t believe it. It is such a nice piece. It has a higher neck than other dresses and those nice little straps which make it very special. I also like that it is fitted arround the waist – that makes a nice hourglass shape. The slice on each side also looks great. Makes it feel very comfortable for moving arround and even on hot days it has this cooling effect.
I wore this on the wine festivities of my honeys club. It was really nice and very funny (maybe of all the wine tasting 😉 ). Paired it with a jeans jacket as it got colder throughout the evening and this gorgeous braided baby blue hand bag I got on my trip to Salzburg.


Dress – H&M
Jacket – Only
Wedges – Buffallo Girl
Bag – Bipa
Headband – H&M 
Wishing you a nice rest of the week.
Take care. See you. Love K.

Weekend getaway……..

Hi guys and happy Monday,

isn´t it always nice to get out of our daily routine even if it is just for a weekend ??

My boyfriend and I do have lots of places which are nearby and we both would like to see.

So this is what we choose for this time: Salzburg in Austria

I have been there twice already. It is a really pretty and old city. It has the house of Mozart the famous musician and poet who wrote plays like Cosi van tutti and a lot more…





The also do have an old fortress on the top of the city. You can go there by foot or you can take the cable railway. You have a nice view from out the cabins but it is also pretty high.


The also have a zoo and another big castle outside the city but we didn´t have this much time to get a closer look at everything and it also shouldn´t get that stressful.




Hotel: 
It is a really nice and very modern hotel. It isn´t directly located in the city centre – but you can go by bus – takes only 15 minutes – really quick and comfortable into the city, so you won´t get stuck in traffic and you won´t have a parking spot problem. 
The rooms have a wooden flooring and a balcony, a really comfortable Sessel, a double bed and a TV. You could also get two single beds in one room. 
They got an english breakfast buffet in the morning with scrambled eggs and bacon and beans, tea and coffee. And also croissants and rolls and cheese, jam, sausage and cereals. More than enough.




Food:
For Lunch we went to the Zipfer Bierhaus – they have their own beer brand and also delicious and hearty food. I can recommend the Grill Plate with vegetables and french fries and also the Tiroler Gröstl (made of bacon, potatoes and egg).

After exploring the city and looking at lots of menus we decided to have dinner at the Sternbräu. 
This is such a cool restaurant. It has 4 entries, one on each side and there is a different location at every side. They have a lounge, a restaurant, a coffee shop and a “Beergarden” where you can sit outside for dinner. Pretty awesome !!
I went for the spinach dumplings – they were so great that I cooked them for us last week and they almost tasted as good as the original ones – with a sauce of melted butter and parmesan cheese. Yummy 🙂
My boyfriend ate the roasted pork with a sauce made of dark beer and also dumplings (but without the filling). The meat was so tender – just delicious.
We couldn´t eat a desert so I can´t give you any advice about that cause the main dish was so much.


Shopping:
There is one street in the city centre where are all the shops located. It is called the Getreidegasse.
They got all the stores we already know like Mango, Zara and H&M. But there is also a Louis Vuitton and a Massimo Dutti. I went to Claire´s because I like looking arround for jewelry and decoration stuff and cute little things. You also need to go to the Fürst shop. They sell the original Mozart Kugeln – filled with marzipan and pistachio. 
It had been a nice change to get away – even if it was just for 2 days – just to be together and have a great time exploring another city and enjoying great food.
Stay tuned for our next getaway 🙂
Take care. See you. Love K.
