Cooking and Baking

Something very strange is happening. I think it might have something to do with living in a male dominated household. I just want to cook and bake all the time. I've made cake, shortbread, biscuits, soup and pasta sauce in the last week alone.

These are the cupcakes I made last week. I slightly overfilled the cases, so I cut the tops off before I iced them. They were so easy to make, put all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Topped off with lemon butter cream icing. I had the girlie cake chicks round last week so fortunately they were able to help me polish them off.

It's Children in Need here in the UK this Friday. I have 25 Pudsey Bear cake cases. So, I shall be making cakes this week and accepting donations for them. Not decided what flavour to make yet.

  1. Ooh those look yummy!

    I've come across to your blog from a comment you left on mine. Thanks for the comment on my LO's. I had great fun on the UKScrappers cybercrop! The LO with the christmas decs on was done with Basic Grey 'Fruitcake' - those baubles were on one of the papers, I just cut them out and matted them on black Bazzil. The class actually called for birds and flowers, but I didn't have any of those so I improvised! I'm pleased with the result!!

    Hope to see you again soon!

  7. They look delicious! Must be something in the air this week, I just suddenly had the impulse to make some choc chip muffins - only 5 mins until they are ready to come out the oven and I can't wait.
    I'm sure yours will sell out really quickly on Friday!
