Los Angeles trip - Disneyland

California welcomed us with very nice weather and high temperatures of 30 degrees celsius. Which was nice because meanwhile in South Dakota it was ten below zero and snowing. We went to Disneyland on Friday. I was so excited like never before. I expected Disneyland as fairy tale place but actually it was beautifuler and more dreamy than I could even imagine. It was one of the few moments I got to cry from happiness. It was such a fun day. We visited in second week of October so all Disneyland was decorated with Christmas lights and poinsettias. Even though it was summer weather I was in perfect Christmas mood. It was really like fairy tale.

Halloween cupcakes

Two weeks ago I celebrated my first Halloween ever. Since I didn't go trick-or-treating I stayed at home and handed out candy. We live out of town so we didn't expect a lot of trick-or-treaters but eventually twenty-five kids showed up. They were super cute in their costumes. Some kids were dressed up as Frankenstein, dinosaurs, vampire, witch...and the most popular costume was absolutely Elsa. I assumed Americans love Halloween when I found out in news they spent seven billion dollars only on Halloween candy. It could be private chocolate island for this amount of money!

Anyway the next day I baked these pumpkin flavored cupcakes. This was supposed to be recipe post but I became normal American...so recipe's on the box. I used Halloween cupcake dough and icing from the box and Halloween cupcake kit. These cupcakes were very easy and very yummy.

Apetit picnic 2014

Amazing French stand with tons of pies, cheese, baguettes and even snails (but seriously I didn't sample it).

Cupcakes-do it yourself

Extra chocolate-mint biscuit. Love it!

This year's picnic was even better than the last year's one! Except we didn't find no macarons and were sooo frustrated. We tasted everything we could, photographed a lot and just enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly people.
