un cafe au zinc , s´il vous plait !

why do coffe looks always so cool in Paris ?
why do coffe always taste better at dromadar in trondheim ?
i know the answers for both but i wont bore you with my theory :)

save a place for that one !

i have been talking about this trench coat from Sonia Rykiel for next autumn for a while so i really feel its time to show it here , it is absolutly fabulous ! i loved it sooo much i ordered it in beige and dark blue and .... pink ! yes yes and the buttons and the doubling also are a dream so let us know if you are interested because as usual we are ordering very few pieces ..haaa how lovely we will be !

girls tea party

this last weekend was really fun at the shop , we had our first telephone order for twelve cupcakes ! and on friday there was sun in the street and this overwhelming feeling that spring was there and everyone was soo happy ! i am posting some sweet pictures to spread the feeling :)

a new brand for next winter

next winter we are going to get really cosy in our new cashmala brand Aymara , but it felt like a really long time to wait until next winter so i had to get myself two new pieces from Aymara and one of them was this beautifull thin cashmala dress in blue , it feels both light and warm and i feel like a wonder when i wear it !

god påske !

something yellow :)

happy friday !

so it soon friday and as promised the lemon macarons and the cupcakes will be delivered at shine early morning ! here at shine we are all about you starting your weekend with joy ! see you at shine ..

something unique ?

so this monday i was in oslo for the day , and one of my mission was to found out all about cupcakes , macarons and other treats in the capital ! i can tell you i ate quite an amount of sweets , i started first with a croissant at åpen bakeri , the new one by litteratur huset , i was quite disapointed , it was not fresh and crispy , rather stale and over dried , it felt like it had been made days ago . the new åpen bakeri local was cool and light and well placed in the center , i then was on my way to kolonihage witch was booming full of customers of all ages , the location is to die for , an oasis on frognerveien , i had my usual and still the best carrot cake in norway : a small taste bomb with the best icing to crown it . everything at koloniehage is ecologic and the owner himself is to be seen helping around everyday , a very nice place above the average , and a great place to have lunch . my next trip was to buy some macarons at sebastien.bruno a chocolatier on frogner too who specialise in chocolate and macarons , there i ate four differents ones and brought back home a full box ,not all them tasted as good as they looks and the samples i brought back home received the same critics , from there i went to united bakery , haaa there the local are cool in all the different branches trought town and most of the bake goods i sampled in the last years meet my taste , but for this monday i had one of their walnut pecan and caramel muffins and it never disapoint ! but as you can see no signs of any cupcakes anywhere in oslo ! could it be that we are doing something unique ?

and macarons too !

kim made fairytale cupcakes this weekend , covered with the most yummy cream and the sweetest butterfly and flowers . a tea dreams for us girls !

our new weekend windows with cupcakes .

kim had a try at macarons in two flavours , pistacio and lemon ...they both went down really well , and i must say it was so easy to love the yellow lemon flavor as the holiday is coming soon ..

a fantastic week !

the shine cupcakes logo is sooo cute i want to have it everywhere ... thank you dear Maiken ! your drawings are the best !

i can tell you not all girls where as still as the little girl in the shine cupcakes logo when they had to choose their favorite cupcakes on saturday ...but oh i do understand them , so many fabulous colors and motives to choose from , then the question was : witch colors for the box and the ribbons , and ..and ..

Why eat one cake when you can have 3

Guilt free indulging ..

Me loves raw

Raw !

No trip to copenhagen would have been complete without visiting 42raw ! It is the new craze in town , also very popular in new york and paris . The restaurant offers in an ascetic room a whole menu of ..namely raw food , nothing is cooked or heated over 42 degree hence the name ; but everything is absolutely delicious ! We tried 3 different salads , all the desert and yes they have the best raw chocolate cake in town ! The juice are super healthy and the whole raw movement claim that you can eat as much as you want without feeling guilty ...we did enjoy ourselves ..

tomorrow copenhagen..

first i want to say how gratefull i am to everyone who came to our little shop on saturday ! it was lovely seeing so many new faces and the good old ones :) and oh did we love love seeing the cupcakes fly off the shop ! i have to apologised for the ones who came in early and did not get their cupcakes at once , thats one of the downside of freshness , they were baked in the morning and kim had to wait until they cooled down to start on the toppings ... but we promise , next friday at ten they will be ready as soon as the door opens .. lovely friday !
also we are currently working on : taaatataaa : macaron !
and tomorrow morning we are travelling for several meetings to copenhagen were i will post about all the places we go and eat :)
