Victoria Sponge Cake Guess who's birthday it is? No, not mine but someone very close to my heart… yes, the giant man-baby. Aka. my partner, Daniel. I'm normally very organised when it comes to birthdays, I normally have a budget where I save X amount of money per month so I know I'll have enough. I also usually buy the card and present(s) anywhere from a few months in advance to 2 weeks in advance, this year being the exception. I'm having another flare-up with my arthritis and it's in my hands so driving is currently out of the question which means having the giant man-baby with me while … [Read more...]

Strawberry, Chocolate & Vanilla Buttercream Frosting Cupcakes Aren't children wonderful? I love the way they spring things on you. For example, Wednesday evening the children returned home from school and casually stated that there was going to be a school bake sale. Great, I'll help and whip up some cupcakes.

I thought my cupcake courier might've sadly ended up being used as more of a storage device for my cupcakes than actually transportation. I was therefore excited that it would actually be used for … [Read more...]
