Quotidian Curiosities: Sweets sweets sweets.

My sweet neighbor Anna helping us sprinkle cupcakes. I was the icing girl and she was the sprinkles girl! We had too much fun making a mess.

So, let's name the homemade sweets that have been in our house for the past week:

1. Peach ice cream

2. Peach tart

3. Coffee ice cream

4. Brownies

5. Tres leches cake

6. Turtle cheese cake

7. Pound cake made with duck eggs

8. Mini white cupcakes

... And there are three of us. And my parents are twigs.

It's been crazy. We're just now starting to make our way to the end (with some of my friends' help :) )

I made the tres leches cake as a belated birthday cake for my mom. It was so fun! I'm so proud of how it turned out.

First, I made a coconut chiffon cake, which was fun. Then, I split that into layers for the filling of the "three milks". I soaked the layers in a coconut syrup that I made, and in between the layers was a pastry cream. And guess what? This was the first pastry cream that I cooked that I didn't ruin during the first trial... since like 5 years ago! I was so excited. The third milk would be the whipped cream on top. Oh, and I added some caramel in between the layers :)
