AWOL again!!

I'm so sorry - I have totally been neglecting the blog but Lydia and I went skiing last week, so obviously havent been making too many cakes!!

We had an awesome week - here is a picture of us on the top of the mountain!

Check out Lyd's bunny ears on her helmet!

I promise I will be baking again soon!!

Back in the game!

Ive finally managed to unpack some of my baking stuff after the house move, so thought I would experiment with a new recipe!

Ever since I made the cakepops for my friend's party, I have been wondering about other possible flavours that I could do - white cholocate and raspberry is a classic combination so I thought I would start with that!

I made a vanilla sponge cake with raspberry jam mixed into the mixture at the end, then also flavoured my buttercream icing with raspberry flavouring and dipped them in white chocolate.

I thought they were maybe a bit too sickly sweet but they were well received at work, so it must just be me!

Another successful experiment!!

Its official, cupcakes are good for you!

...well, kind of!

Eve Appeal raises money for a variety of cancers that affect women and March is Ovarian Cancer awareness month. They are encouraging people to hold a tea party in March to raise money for Ovarian Cancer research, which seems like the ideal opportunity to combine cakes and feeling good about yourself!
