I usually burn water... ...and my boyfriend usually bakes/cooks me stuffles... ...but right now i can't be modest: I actually baked something and it was edible...i think, CD hasn't died yet, but its actually really cute. I did it all by myself. I would show you pictures if I thought of taking some, but i didn't and it was at his house anyways. But i can show you what it ALMOST looks like:  Yea...not that detailed...but it was white cake made with his mom's heart pans and i swirled around red food dye. And and and and, white icing and whip cream mixed together. It was a much bigger "regular" size version...and it didn't really look like that, but it had two layers with frosting in between and icing on top...with a plastic bag...no pipet thingies. The recipe called for jello...but ill...i don't like jello that much. sweatdrop

Bubble tea <3
It's a slightly tea flavoured smoothie in a variety of colours such as apple, strawberry, taro, and berry, with a shot of giant tapioca balls added.
Quite popular in Asia, and very tasty.
I figured out how to simply emulate the flavour or it minus the tapioca (I have to drive 30 minutes to get to a tiny Korean coffee shoppe, and then drink is like $6!).
Grab your blender!
Add ice, milk + strawberry Nesquik, and tea. I personally enjoy Earl Grey. Mix.
Add more ingredients as you want for taste.
Voila! Tastes just like strawberry bubble tea.
To achive other flavours such as berry, one could substitute the milk and Nesquik for ice cream or sherbert. The end result would be thicker and a flavour you cannot achive with just milk flavouring =)
Theres a bubble tea place near my school, I LOVE to get them. The odd thing is that they are only 1.75, and we call the tapioca balls boba. Anywho, I always think of EXTREMLY fancy mini wedding cakes for lolitas. Now I really want to throw a lolita tea party, with bubble tea and little wedding cakes....

Oooh, Loli Lace, that's so cute! Even if it's not the picture of your cake, from the description it sounds great. I love shaped pans, because you don't have to do much else to make your cakes pretty, and I like pretty simple decorations unless I feel particularly masochistic...like when I made the petit fours. XD

I'm really really glad I joined this guild now- I'm at my uncle's place in Austin, TX for the holidays and I told my cousin about my famous cheesecake, but didn't bring my recipe book- good thing I typed it here!
I'm also going to try and introduce her to Lolita dresses. Maybe show her stuff from "In The Starlight" first then onto the real crazy outfits. whee

Bubble Milk Tea! XD
There are a chain of stores here in Sydney called Easy Way, who do an incredible array of flavoured iced teas, with various "toppings" (tapioca balls, called "pearls", fall into this category.) My personal favourite is green apple green tea with coconut jelly. XD Except for the taro iced tea, it all very much tastes like tea.
They have iced milk green tea, too, which I haven't been game to try yet...
May I suggest a modification to the nana tea in the first post? Heat the milk with a stick of cinnamon and a clove (or two, depending on how much you are making). I don't know if this would work in the microwave... but if you're like me and use the stove for everything, it should work.

OMG. My dad collects all these cookbooks from the 50's, and there was one thing where you get a finished, iced cake where the icing is already hard (it has to be dark like dark chocolate or something) and you put a lace doilie over it and sprinkle powdered sugar over it so there's a lace pattern on the cake when you lift it off!
It was the cutest thing I had ever seen... and such a good idea!

That sounds so pretty. Are you going to try it? You could probably test using a doily, by putting a piece of black construction paper down, laying a doily on top of it, and sprinkling powdered sugar. That way, you wouldn't be afraid of messing up when you finally tried it on the cake.

All this talk of cakes and other sweet things puts me in a cooking mood~ If I start cooking, who knows what'll happen.... last time I wanted to make sugar cookies, and I made ALOT.... but they turned out really cute because I cut the dough with heart-shaped cookie cutters, and put little red sugar all over them~
I have a great "recipe" for Milk Tea. At least, that's what i think it's called.
Milk Tea
------------
You'll need:
Black Tea bags
Milk
Sugar
First, bring a tea pot with water to a boil, or however hot or warm you like your tea. Then, get mug or yeacup and put the tea bag in it. Once water is warm enough, pour into cup and steep tea bag for 3 or more minutes*. Then, use a shot glass** and fill with milk, then pour into tea. Mix Well. Finally, sweeten with sugar. Viola! Milk Tea!
*I like to steep mine for a longer time because it gives it more flavor.
**I also use a small measuring cup, because the tea should come out to be the color of Momoko's Hair in Shimotsuma Monogatari. Shot glasses are good to use because it's harder to add TOO MUCh milk to the tea.

Grr. The cucumber sandwiches sound so good but I went to the fridge and no cucumber. My mom must've eaten it. >0
So then I made some strawberries, cream, vanilla/cinnamon concotion. It was tasty. But when it comes to cooking I'm so horrible because everything I make I insist putting powdered sugar on it. x33

Mmm, what you made sounds good, but you must really like sweet things.
They often make my stomach hurt, sadly.

Yeah, I'm a horrible sweet addict. I was born for it. B]
This one time we went up to Vancouver and went to the Empress Hotel and had tea and cakes there and everything was so tasty and adorable! It was probably the most tea I drank in one sitting, but it was so good. OwO

The last time I was in Victoria was so many years ago, but I was talking about going, again, with my mom, because I've only seen the Buschart Gardens at night, and I'd like to walk around during the day some time.
Do you live in Washington State? (I do.)
