Raspberry millefeuille

Hey everyone!

Today I will be showing you how to make a raspberry millefeuille, it looks quite hard and fiddly but it is a simple,easy and it only takes 30-45 minutes (depending on how good you are at making desserts!) This is the first time I made this dessert and I thought that it was going to fail and that I would mess it up so badly but, it actually turned out great!

You will need:

• 300ml of double cream
• 250g of raspberries
• 375g of ready rolled puff pastry
• Icing sugar to decorate

Step one: Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (425 degrees Fahrenheit), Gas Mark 7. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper, then unroll the pastry and place on the baking sheet (trim the pastry down if you need too). Prick the pastry all over with a fork. To prevent the pastry from rising put another piece of baking paper on top and then put a wire rack on it; when I tried to do this, my wire rack wouldn't fit inside the baking tray, so instead I put a slightly smaller baking tray on top of the pastry.


Step two: Put the pastry in the preheated oven for ten minutes. Using an oven glove, carefully take off the wire rack or baking tray and baking paper and turn over the pastry, put everything back on top and cook for a further five minutes or until it is golden brown. When it is done, take it out and place on a wire rack to cool, it should look something like this...

Step three: Whilst you are waiting for the pastry to cook or cool, lightly whip the double cream in a medium-large bowl using a hand help whisk until it is light but also thick, make sure you don't over whisk it.

Step four: Cut the pastry into three equal strips. Put one strip on a plate or chopping board and spread  half of the cream on and place half the raspberries on. Use the rest of the cream and raspberries to do this for the second layer. Carefully pick up the second layer and put on top of the first, and then put the last plain slice of pastry on top of that.        Dust with icing sugar for decoration.

In the end, your raspberry millefeuille should look something like this. 

Thank you for reading!

Benefit - Love at first shine

Hello everyone, for my first blog post I am going to talk about Benefit - Love at first shine lip gloss gift set that I got for Christmas.

From left-right (in the second picture) they are called, A-lister, Lolibop, Poutrageous, Fauxmance, Kiss you and Icebreaker. These lip glosses add a hint of colour to your lips and leave them looking shiny and moisturised also, they don't make your lips feel sticky.

The packaging is very pretty and pink, it has flowers with yellow streaks radiating of them and a dark pink filing, there is also a pattern in the background that is a darker pink.
The price of this gift set was £19.50 then reduced to £13.

                                       
                                       

This lip gloss is called A-lister and it is my favourite one out of them all. It is a light peachy pink colour and makes your lips look fuller and isn't too bright, it is quite a natural shade. It's perfect for a casual look and looks very nice if your wearing light or bright colours.

Thanks for reading my first ever post.
