How long has it been???

Hello, everyone! It's been a while! I'm back to hopefully continue my blogging heartily. Recently I have been playing lots of video games and having lots of fun with my family, so I haven't been as attentive as I would like. Just a few days ago, I added some cute stuff to my cute stuff collection, and I had it in my silly head to make a "comic strip" entry. So here it is! I hope you enjoy!

The two super cute characters in the comic are the Sugarbunnies twins! Shirousa and Kurousa!!! (Shirousa is the white bunny with the pink bow and Kurousa is the brown bunny.) They specialize in making pateries: Shirousa in cakes and Kurousa in chocolates and other baked goods. Aren't they cute! They come from Bunniesfield, where there are no humans.

The comic tells the true story of how they came to live with me! Shirousa was purchased before Kurousa, who had a missing piece to his toy package. I had to bargain with the manager of the store they came from to get a discount for the incomplete package. Fortunately, I really love both Kirousa and Shirousa, so I don't care if the missing cookie cutter was missing!!!

All the sweets seen in the photo/comic are made by hand by my sisters and I from scratch. We had borrowed several candy and cupcake books from our local library, as well as having had searched for recipes online. My two younger sisters baked and decorated the cute buttercream cupcakes, which were for Valentine's Day. Then one of them and I spent the whole night of the next night making chocolates and toffee.

The cupcakes are chocolate and vanilla, decorated with buttercream frosting in white and pink vanilla, and chocolate. The dark chocolates with white icing and the almond-covered truffles are all filled with semi-sweet chocolate. However, the almond-covered truffles are the only ones filled with chopped candied-cherries. The crushed vanilla cream cookie (cookies'n'creme) truffles are covered with either a white chocolate shell and dark chocolate icing and or thick milk chocolate skin. Mmmmmmmmm!!!! The toffee in the jar are made with caramel, white and milk chocolate chips, and chopped, roasted almonds. Also, the Sugarbunnies cookies are vanilla and chocolate flavored!!! Too bad they were eventually mildly burnt due to our shortage of parchment paper (we had to spray pam on foil!!!).

Each batch of chocolate made at least 20 pieces, so we still have lots of chocolates left over, sitting in the fridge! >.< Hehe.
