The CUTEST Carrot Cake Cupcakes 🥕 Recipe below - ib: @nahlahrsl Makes 12 🧁 Ingredients Cupcakes 3/4 cup (125g) shredded carrots 1/2 cup (50g) pecans or any nuts, chopped 2 large eggs, room temp 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar 1/4 cup (60ml) neutral oil 1/4 cup (60g) sour cream, room temp * 1/4 cup (50g) pineapple, mashed ** 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp ground cinnamon Sour cream substitutions: plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, or buttermilk Pineapple substitution: applesauce Crumble 1/2 cup (60g) walnuts 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour 3 tbsp (36g) brown sugar 4 tbsp (56g) cold unsalted butter, cubed 1/2 tsp salt Frosting 8oz (226g) cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream Decorations: Orange & green food coloring, or Rosemary sprigs Instructions 1. Peel and shred carrots in a food processor. Roughly chop pecans. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, brown sugar, oil, sour cream, pineapple, and whisk until well combined. Don’t worry if you see lumps of pineapple. 3. In another mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and give a quick mix. 4. Add half the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and whisk gently. Add in the carrots, then the remaining dry ingredients. Switch to a rubber spatula and stir only until no more flour is visible. Fold in the pecans. 5. Fill 12 cupcake liners 3/4 full. I used a standard ice cream scooper, roughly one leveled scoop. 6. Bake for 18-20 mins until toothpick poked in center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely. Reduce oven to 320°F (162°C). 7. To make the walnut crumble, combine walnuts, flour, brown sugar, and salt and pulse in a food processor. Add cubed butter and pulse ONLY until consistency feels like slightly damp loose sand. Do not over-mix. Spread crumble onto baking sheet. Bake for 20 mins or until golden, stirring halfway. Allow to cool completely. 8. To make the frosting, combine soft cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until well combined using a hand or stand mixer. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until stiff peaks. 9. Using an ice cream scooper or spoon, dollop frosting onto each cooled cupcake. Using an offset spatula or spoon, swirl the middle of each cupcake to create a somewhat flat crater. 10. Scoop the cooled crumble all around the sides of the frosting. Using any leftover frosting, mix in streaks of orange food coloring and add to a small piping bag. Draw carrot and add rosemary sprigs for the stem/leaves, or alternatively, you can color leftover frosting green to draw them. Chill cupcakes in fridge until ready to enjoy 😊 #cupcakes #carrotcake

Starbucks Copycat Birthday Cake Pops 🍭. They turned out great ☺️ Come make some with me - recipe below 👇🏼 Ingredients Cake 1 - 13.25oz (375g) any vanilla store cake mix 1/3 cup (70ml) neutral oil 1 cup (240ml) milk or water 4 large eggs Add ONE of these options: 1. 3-4 tbsp ready-to-use vanilla frosting or 2. 1/4 cup (28g) powdered sugar & 1/2 tsp vanilla or 3. Vanilla buttercream 1/4 cup (56g) softened unsalted butter 1 cup (118g) powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla Splash of milk (start w/ 1 tsp, add more until smooth) Pinch of salt Coating 12oz (340g) pink candy melts White nonpareils Lollipop sticks Instructions 1. Preheat your oven - typically 325°- 350°F depending on what type of pan you’re using 2. Combine all cake ingredients in a large bowl. Pour batter into lined or greased pan and transfer into oven. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Stick a toothpick in the center to see if it comes out clean 2-4 mins BEFORE box bake time is finished. 3. Transfer cake while it’s still hot into a large stand mixing bowl and crumble cake on low speed, using the paddle attachment until there are no large pieces. Some bakers take off the darker crust pieces, but I find this wasteful and unnecessary. 4. In a small mixing bowl, combine all buttercream ingredients. Since it’s not used for decoration, sifting the powdered sugar is not required. Mix well until smooth, a little lumpy is alright. 5. Add buttercream to crumbled cake and mix on low until batter comes together. Roll cake pops weighing approx 30g each, or 1-1/4inch (3cm) in diameter. Chill in freezer for 15 mins. 6. Melt your pink candy melts in microwave in 20-30 sec increments until smooth. You can also use a double boiler. Dip a lollipop stick into the candy melt, then gently stab the cake pop approx halfway. Repeat to all cake pops, then chill again in freezer for 15 mins. 7. Melt your candy again once pops are chilled. Dip and submerge the entire cake pop, insuring it meets where it was dipped previously. Holding the stick with one hand, use your other hand to gently tap until all excess chocolate has dripped off. You want to achieve one even coating. Do not dip again, as this extra weight may make your cake pop detach from the stick. 8. Decorate with sprinkles or nonpareils quickly before pink melt dries. Place sticks into a styrofoam block. Repeat until all cake pops are dipped and sprinkled. #cakepops #starbucks #copycatrecipe

Money bag dumplings 🥟💰 Wishing everyone who’s celebrating Lunar New Year much wealth - in happiness, good health, and all the fortune you deserve 🧧 ib: @Cassie Recipe👇🏼 2 cups (150g) napa cabbage, massaged with salt, rinsed, released moisture 1 bunch cilantro, 20g leaves finely chopped, stems separated & blanched 1/2 lb (226g) pork, or any ground protein 1/2 lb (226g) shrimp, peeled, deveined, finely chopped into a paste 2 green onions, finely sliced 4 cloves garlic, grated 1-1/2 inch ginger knob, grated 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp rice vinegar 2 tsp sesame oil 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp cornstarch 1 tsp chicken bullion powder 1 tsp white sugar Pinch white pepper Dumpling Sauce 1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp hot water
2 tbsp soy sauce 
2 tsp rice vinegar
1-2 tsp spicy chili crisp (depending on spice preference) 2 garlic cloves, grated 1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds Instructions 1. In a medium mixing bowl, chop cabbage, salt generously, massage in, set aside for 15 mins. Rinse in a sieve under cold water and ring out all the excess moisture. 2. Separate the cilantro leaves from the stems. In a saucepan, blanch the stems in boiling water for 20-30 secs. Quickly transfer them into a bowl of iced cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat stems with a paper towel and set aside. Chop the cilantro leaves and green onions. *If you are not a cilantro lover, you can use thin strips of green onions for the tie and omit cilantro leaves from the filling. 3. Chop your shrimp finely (peeled & deveined) until it turns into a paste. 4. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground protein, shrimp paste, cabbage, cilantro, and green onions. Grate in garlic and ginger. 5. Add in the rest of the ingredients - soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, oyster sauce, cornstarch, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, and white pepper. Using chopsticks or by hand, mix all the ingredients in one direction until fully combined. Yes, it matters. 6. Wrap the dumplings. Add a spoonful of filling, then gather the edges up to create a money pouch - no fancy pleating! Gently tie the dumpling with cilantro stems twice - do not pull too hard or they will break. Repeat until all dumplings are tied. Keep wrappers and finished dumplings under a damp towel while folding to prevent them from drying out. 7. Steam dumplings for 5 mins, or pan fry until golden with some water and cover. 8. For the dumpling sauce, combine sugar and hot water. Stir until dissolved. Add the rest of the ingredients - soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili crisp, garlic, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Stir, dunk dumplings, and ENJOY 🥟 #dumplings #moneybagdumplings #lunarnewyear #goodfortune #恭喜发财
