Key Lime Cheesecake Bars

September 7, 2012 by Lisa Crunkhorn 30 Comments

Key Lime Cheesecake Bars I refuse to accept that summer is over. How can it be when we're still technically having summery weather, albeit that the mornings are now cold and we even had frost a couple of mornings ago? I'm going to stomp my feet and throw a tantrum, I'm not a winter person at all and autumn might as well be winter in the UK. In fact, I'm one of those people that finds myself a bit 'chilly' even when it's 25℃/77℉ and wearing a light jacket when everyone else is wearing summer tanks. I'm so ready ready to bid farewell to all the summer berries and ice creams I've been … [Read more...]

Girly Pastel Tri-Coloured Swirl Vanilla Cupcakes Overly girlie, triple coloured swirl vanilla cupcakes. Pastel shades of pink and lilac with white complimentary colours. Sure to make any princess proud. When I was younger, I'm talking between 5-15 years old, I was a tom boy. I don't have any sisters but one brother that's 2.5 years older than myself. I played with boy toys. I had a boat load of cars, boy helicopters n' all! Not one Barbie in sight (nor action man! Yes, I was that tom boyish that even an action man was considered a "doll" is our household). I watched F1 racing, rally … [Read more...]

Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream Swirls

December 23, 2011 by Lisa Crunkhorn Leave a Comment

Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream SwirlsOH.MY.GOD!! These were so good, even if it was just a standard sponge recipe (see below) with standard basic buttercream swirls. Needless to say, I made these about 3 days ago. I made 24 of these vanilla cupcakes with the buttercream swirls and they're now ALL gone! =)) My children made their own basic sponge cupcakes, so really, these were eaten by just myself and my partner (although the kidlets did have a few).I made just standard sized cupcakes and filled them approx. ¾ full with the batter. Popped them in the oven and kept an eye on them … [Read more...]
