Fairy Cupcakes

So, this was the situation: My friends and I were studying Geology and Maths because we had to take the final exams to approve those university subjects.
After a long time reading and summing the books and class notes, we were really hungry and bored. So, we decided to cook French maddelines, and we ended cooking cute and delicious cupcakes.

Now, I'll share the results with you! If you want to cook cupcakes, at the end I'll give you a basic recipe.

Sooo cute! Covered with dulce de leche and sugar stars! Ñam!

Stay Safe: New EP Next Month!

Who are Stay Safe? They are a new Indie Rock band that will release their first EP next month. There's nothing much information about them for now.

All I know is that Brian, the only permanent member of the band, started writing songs for Stay Safe a little over a year ago, also there are some elements taken from songs written as long as 3 years back.

Some bands that inspire them are Dear and the Headlights, Brand New, and City and Colour.

 A 6 track EP will be released in the next month or so titled The Only Constant is Change. However, there may be a short acoustic release coming sooner.

Check out to their song If Not For Our Eyes from The Only Constant is Change EP:
