It just wouldn’t be Easter (or really any holiday, in my opinion) without lots of chocolate! As it had been absolute ages since I’d done any baking, I decided to put together some classic chocolate cupcakes. I made the cakes themselves from scratch but turned to Dr Oetker Easy Swirl Cupcake Icing to finish them off.… Continue reading Easter Cupcakes
Last year I went for a chocolate graveyard theme and the year before that it was broken glass on red velvet…I love making cupcakes for Halloween and I couldn’t wait to get started on this year’s batch! At first, I wasn’t sure what to do but when my American candy haul arrived early last week,… Continue reading Wicked Witch Cupcakes
The temperatures seem to be plummeting this week so I’ve been reaching for extra layers and lots of hot chocolate!

I wanted to create some cupcakes to reflect one of my favourite hot drinks so I… Continue reading Hot Chocolate Cupcakes
I hadn’t done any baking in the longest time so I decided to make some cupcakes for the weekend.

We were constantly on the go; the past couple of days have passed by in a blur of sugar and shopping and now I feel like I could sleep straight for an entire day! Obviously that’s not an option because it’s all only really beginning… Continue reading Lush, Cupcakes & Candy Cane Vodka!
You can’t beat a few fun cupcakes at any time of the year and Halloween is a perfect opportunity to get creative. Over the weekend, I made chocolate cupcakes with a spooky graveyard theme.

In the run-up to Easter, chocolate treats and desserts pretty much tend to take over the blogosphere. I, for one, am certainly not complaining — I can’t get enough of all these luscious snaps! This weekend, I made my own contribution to the craze in the form of salted Nutella cupcakes. These cupcakes are fun to… Continue reading Salted Nutella Cupcakes
Halloween is just a couple of weeks away so I wanted to get in to the spirit of things over the weekend with some fun cupcakes.

The icing was a simple vanilla buttercream and they were topped off with some easy but… Continue reading Broken Glass Cupcakes
I’m a sucker for anything sweet so when I saw a picture of Cookie Monster cupcakes in a magazine recently, I just had to give them a go. First of all, I made chocolate chip cupcakes to reinforce the cookie theme. Then I mixed blue food colouring in to vanilla buttercream and spread it thickly on to each cupcake. For the… Continue reading Cookie Monster Cupcakes
