Dubai

While its raining outside, i'm sitting on the couch and watching 'single white female' and thought why not upload some pictures from trip to Dubai. I'll keep updating this post as i sort the pics out.

Things to do and see in Dubai:

1. Eating out! Eat till you drop!
2. Shopping. You will find the worlds brands all in one place in the malls. Didnt see Primark though :P
3. Dubai mall, Emirates mall, Ibne Batutta mall are worth visiting.
4. Visit Medinat Jumairah, very nice place made in the old Arab architecture, with numerous restaurants around it and the view to the Burj Arab.
5. I did the cruise in Marina, which was a nice experience. 
6. Gold souk for gold jewellery
7. Top of burj Khalifa, the worlds tallest building (we didnt do it)
8. Dancing fountains at the dubai mall/burj khalifa. 
9. Do visit the beach.
10. Taxis are very cheap there, so rely on them

Cupcake passion!!

I like everything sweet and pretty, and cupcakes are both sweet and pretty. No?
I recently discvered my passion for cupcakes. Since everyone was baking these i HAD to do it too. Who would not love cupcakes and who doesnt are doing a sin in my humble opinion. You can decorate them with different coloured frosting and mini frosting figures. I havent tried making the figures yet.
I’m not a cooking person but baking, sure. Maybe this blog will help me in learning to cook and share the food pictures and recipies.. we will see.

Wiiiiiiide angel lens!!

Oh yes! Thats right, i bought a super wide angel lens Canon 16-35mm L  f 2.8    The body i use is Canon 5D MII, imagine the super wideness its gonna deliver.  I’m going to use it on my trip to Dubai. Its great for landscapes,  portrait and even indoors because of the focal length 2.8.
