Anf for those who wonder how to do this cool striped cookies here's a small tuto

Spread the icing in your cookies

use different colors and be fast before it dries !!

move your toothpick doing vertical lines to make the effect !!

A sweet walk : my day off

This last weeks have been very stressing for me , I have several problems with shipping delays that caused me to rethink my strategies and goals . To forget about it for a while I took a day off . I visited one of my favorite bake products stores in Barcelona and discovered a new one that I just found the other day on the internet and I had to visit !!

For this super sweet walk by Barcelona you are gonna need to use the "metro" line 5 ( color blue  ) First stop " Sagrera "  to visit Manenas shop in  Garcilaso Street nº 26  find more info here : http://www.manenas.es/contacto.php

This was my first time in this shop , they  were very sweet and have lots of products even being a small place.

Afterwards go back to the metro line 5 (blue) and travel 3 more stops until "Virrei Amat" then follow down Avinguda Borbón Street nº 35 to Mundodelareposteria shop

 http://mundodelareposteria.eu/

 And of course don't think I didn't buy anything !! 

In Manenas Shop I couldn't resist to buy cookie icing , usually I make my own but it's so much work XD

I also found this cute long sticks for cookies that I have seen on so many decorated cookie shops and webs

I couldn't resist to buy some valentine cookie cutters

and this cute silver pearl sprinkles

Of course in mundodelareposteria I had to buy something too ;P

I was happy to find this vanilla icing , they also had chesse cake yummy... but I decided to start buying just one to try first .

I was looking for some edible glitter and I got this gold one

You see before going out today I checked my valentine cupcake liners and saw I had to many and promised not to buy more ... so what do you think it happened when I saw this where the only ones left

yes bought them !! And then I found this super difficult to find cupcake liners that I didn't even like , but after seeing them in so many webs and hearing how much people loves them I just had to buy .

And since I already got the big ones and forgot completely about my promise I ended buying this too ;P

So yes I stressed out myself and emptied my purse ^^

A recommended walk by Barcelona

Barcelona it's such a big beautiful city ! You could spend a lifetime there and still not know everything ... For every turist "Plaça Catalunya " it's a must place to visit and it's considered the center of the city . It's also full of birds so be careful ;P .

Around this square you will find all the best fashion shops mixed with some lovely craft shows

Following "Portal del Angel " street you will find the most old and lovely buildings and you will get to one of my favorite streets "carrer del call" perfect to buy beads and tipical souvenirs 

To finalize this lovely walk most turists wont miss the long "las Ramblas " street that ends with Colon Statue and the big shopping center called Maremagnum , also perfect to eat !! 

My yummiest Christmas ^^

I made this cute cookies for Kings day , since I was sick for Christmas . I took me almost two days and I was exausted , but it was so worht it ;D Of course it only took me a few day to eat them all ;P

I used a mix of bakerella recepie and jackie's (spanish)

Now I want to make more ^^

Elegance for your ears

I love to make new earrings , this past months I been working in some lovely designs that you can already find in my shop

What I been doing ...

Today I worked on getting my desk organized ! Yayy ! Not all clean , because I  can't work in a complete clean desk either ... weird I know ... but my table was really begging for some order LOL
