verything outside is turning into orange and finally looks a lot like autumn. While writing this post, I can hear the raindrops hitting on the windows. The other two deers are taking out of boxes all the christmas lights and decorations. In some hours our home will look like a Christmas deer house. I love rain when I'm somewhere warm while I can enjoy my hot cup of chocolate or tea. What's the best treat to accompany your hot drink? Cinnamon rolls! Oh, those sweet rolls with cinnamon and the sweetest icing ever on top! It's the first time we' ever baked and tasted those delicacies and we were super excited about them. They are so so so delicious! We enjoyed them with milk and tea. Everyone who tasted them loved those sweet rolls. As for the making of...They were not so difficult to make. The only "difficult" part was that we had to let the dough rise for an hour and we were literally running to make everything ready for the photoshooting before it's dark outside. But they deserve everything! They became so fluffy!! Bake them for breakfast and enjoy them with a glass of milk or in the evening sitting beside the fireplace with some hot tea!
Tα πρώτα κρύα ξεκίνησαν για τα καλά. Βροχές. Χειμωνιάτικα πρωινά συνοδευμένα από ένα ζεστό αρωματικό τσάι ή μία κούπα καυτής σοκολάτας. Υποχρεώσεις πολλές. Δουλειά, όμορφα διαλείμματα με την παρέα σου. Πού καιρός για μαγειρικές και ζαχαρο-περιπέτειες? Αυτά τα κάπκεικς ήταν ουσιαστικά "δωράκι"για μια φίλη της μικρής αδερφής (ελαφάκι Νο.3). Βρήκα αυτή τη συνταγή εδώ, μπήκα στην κουζίνα, μάζεψα τα υλικά που χρειαζόμουν και ξεκίνησα. Επειδή όμως ήμουν κάααπως αφηρημένη, δε χτύπησα το βούτυρο με τη ζάχαρη. Έτσι όπως πρέπει δηλαδή. Ε νομίζω πως τα υλικά κατέληξαν στο μπολ να χτυπιούνται όλα μαζί. Αυτό νομίζω πως επηρέασε το αποτέλεσμα. Τα κάπκεικς δεν ήταν τόοοσο αφράτα αλλά εντάξει ήταν νόστιμα. Γι'αυτό δεν θα σας γράψω τη συνταγή όπως άλλες φορές. Δεν ήταν και από τις αγαπημένες μου τελικα χεχε. Τη βουτυρόκρεμα την έκανα εκείνη την ώρα, προσθέτοντας όση ζάχαρη άχνη χρειαζόταν κατά τη γνώμη μου. Η βουτυρόκρεμα είναι μία πικρή ιστορία αλλά αυτή τη φορά κατάφερα να μην κάνει αυτόν τον εκνευριστικό ήχο η ζάχαρη άχνη, "χρίτσι, χρίτσι". Νομίζω πως το μυστικό είναι να μην κοσκινίζετε τη ζάχαρη πριν...αλλά δεν και σίγουρο...το ψάχνουμε ακόμα! Επίσης, αυτή τη φορά χρησιμοποίησα βιτάμ soft και όλα πήγαν μία χαρά. Good! ;)

The first cold days of autumn are oficially here. Rain. Cold mornings with hot flavored tea or a mug of hot chocolate. A lot things to do. Job, lovely breaks with your friends. No time for cooking and baking adventures. These cupcakes were made as a "gift" to my sister's (deer no.3) friend. I found the recipe here, got in the kitchen, found the ingredients needed and started the making of. But because i was kinda muzzy I forgot to beat firstly the butter with the sugar and I ended up mixing the ingredients all together. This affected the result and so the cupcakes were not so fluffy but they were tasty. And because of this, I won't write the ingredients and the process as I use to do. And you know..this recipe was not one of my favorite after all hehe. I made the buttercream on my own adding as much icing sugar as I thought it can make the best buttercream. Buttercream is a sad story but this time the icing in the cream was not that obvious making the usual annoying sound "krits-krats" as the previous times. I think that the secret is not to sift the icing sugar before. But I'm not so sure. We are gonna make a research and tell you the results hehe. Also, this time we used a soft butter (not the unsalted used in pastry) and everyhting went well. Good :)
Fall is orange. Peaches are orange. This galette is so orange, peachy and autumnal! I found this video some days ago and I directly fell in love with the shades of it and of cource with this galette. I bought the peaches and got in mom's peachy kitchen to make this loveliness! I have to say that it was one of my best baking times! This galette can be made on summer too but for me It is so so autumnal. It makes the home smell like fall! As for the taste...we all loved it! The crust was really really tasty! The feeling was sweet from the sugar but kinda sour cause the peaches were sour. If you want your galette to be more sweet, choose some ripe peaches or add more sugar! It's a hit believe me! We are gonna bake one again for sure and of course we'll experiment with other fruits too! Apples and oranges, huh?
