Whopper Stuffed Cupcakes with White Chocolate Glaze


I don't understand this Richmond weather. I thought it was supposed to warm up. But it is getting more cold and rainy. At least I don't suffer from allergies! The bf goes through entire kleenex boxes, his eyes are super puffy... and the sniffling!! It's killing me. HAHA kidding. Because he reads this, I need to be nice.  He pops his anti-histamines and now he squirts steroids up his nose. I'm always joking that he's going to become like A. Schwarzenegger with all those 'ROIDS.

Six more exams until summer! I can't wait to go back to LA. I think I'm going to try surfing again. Gosh, I really miss Costa Rica and the perfect surfing conditions. I'd love to go again, but I seriously came back looking like a monkey (far too tanned). I don't get a healthy golden glow like most. Just burned brown/sienna. Worst color evaarrr D:

Here are some cupcakes I made for my friends birthday. These are incredibly moist and keeps that way for a few days. You can substitute with any candy you like!

Custard Creme Puffs (Beard Papa style)


I am a serial worry wart. I must be the largest, most crumbly and flaky worry wart you'll ever meet (ewww but true :\). I constantly worry about stuff at least 10 years into the future and 5-10 years in the past. If I don't have anything to worry about, that's a big worry too! I'm surprised I don't have any white hairs, or even any hair.

Currently, we have all these 4th year medical students matched to their residences doing Q and A sessions. Total mistake to attend any of these, especially when they serve strong coffee and sugary pastries. I'm already stressing about what I want to do (which is I HAVE NO IDEA), while extremely jittery from coffee and sugar. I think I may have stress ate 2 cookies and 3 danishes (maybe not think... I did :P). I like to rant, but the internet hears me out haha.

I'm sharing these creme puffs I made a while ago. Their pillowy softness and creamy centers just mellow me out. You know?! Already feeling zen...

Easter Egg Nest Macaroons


Free weekend!! Man, it has been a while since I got to stay up watching the Mindy Project and then waking up really late (And I mean embarrassingly late :X ...) The past few weeks have been so draining. Learning about alcoholic fatty livers and cirrhosis. I felt like my brain was being overused and abused. Now, I have time to do anything I want...that is until...um Monday. Boo!

Eek, I really complain too much. Anyhoo, I decided to go a little easter themed today, so I baked these macaroons. They're super cute and takes literally 5 mins of prep. Enjoy :)

Sweet Red Bean Soup [단팥죽 - Dan Pat Jook]


How can it only be Wednesday! Getting over hump day is like pulling teeth. Also, we are currently learning about the gastrointestinal tract and nothing can be more exciting than learning about bowel movements for 2 months *roll eyes*. This exam next week is going to absolutely awful. I definitely don't have enough hours in the day to study. And I'm now a 2 cups of coffee a day drinker. From zero to TWO cups a D-A-I-Y-E (sorry, Zoolander reference)

How much do you like to hear people whine? Can't stand it myself... lol :P I haven't had time to bake lately, other than more cream puffs (different filling than last time) and yeasted donuts last week. Recipes soon to come! Today, I'm sharing a traditional Korean soup/porridge that is made of red bean. I cannot get enough of red bean. I just love it on everything...shaved ice, in steamed buns, by spoonfuls :)  I will sing you that red bean song all day. I will!!
