Little Tokyo

Hey guys Rain here!

I just got back from a vacation to California.

I had so much fun & wanted to share some of the food I ate there.

Today I am going to talk to you about the food I ate in Little Tokyo.

The bakery's were amazing. I ate so much. I had some amazing ramen in this cute traditional style ramen shop & mochi ice cream.

First of all if you've never been to Little Tokyo you have to go!

It is amazing!

It is filled with a ton of cute shops & great food.

There are paper lanterns & UFO catchers every where!

It made me miss Japan so much!
Here are some of the pictures I took while I was there.

They had cute nail polish & make up EVERYWHERE & they even had their own little version of Tokyo tower.

I saw these little dogs in a bakery & fell in LOVE. They were so cute & creative, hopefully I will figure out how to make them & make a tutorial for you guys. :)

The entire atmosphere of Little Tokyo was adorable & I cant wait to go back there someday with Ame.

La Madeleine & Paciugo

Hey guys! Its Ame! So Rain and I went to La Madeleine for my birthday dinner. I got the Chicken Friand which is "Puff pastry filled with chicken, mushrooms and béchamel sauce, topped with mushroom sauce". Rain got a Quiche Florentine which is  "Eggs with spinach and Swiss fill a delicate pastry shell" and a small Caesar Salade. For those who have never been to La Madeleine, it has a french cottage interior and the restrooms teach you french. Along with the food that you get, there is a bread "buffet" so you can eat as much bread as you like.

My Chicken Friand

After we went to La Madeleine, we went to Paciugo. Paciugo is a gelato place and everyday they change the flavors they have. So each time you go its a surprise :) The flavors I got were Baileys, Limoncello, and Mediterranean Sea Salt. Rain got Pistachio. Although the price might be high, it is very good and I would highly suggest going.

Cupcakes

Hey Guys!
Rain here. Today I decided it would be fun to decorate some cupcakes.
This is what they look like.

I used butter cream icing & cake mix from the store.
Here's the recipe for medium consistency butter cream icing. :)

Ingredients (makes about 3 cups of icing):
-1/2 cup vegetable shortening
-1 stick of butter
-1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
-4 cups sifted confectioners sugar
-2 tablespoons milk

Directions:
Cream the shortening & butter together with an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla.
Gradually add the sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed.
When all sugar has been mixed in, the icing will appear dry.
Add the milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
