So a while ago I mentioned I had an insane brownie baking day, and I’ve finally gotten around to a follow-up post. I literally spent 4 hours in the kitchen only armed with some heart cookie cutters and a piping bag. It was the best of fun though it was exhausting work. And it’s all Martha Stewart’s…
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend came back from the shops holding two beaten up bananas and asked me to ‘Do something with these.’ Here’s how the conservation went: Him: “Do something with these.” Me: “Did you buy them like this?” Him: “No they got broken.” Me: “How?” Him: “They were in the shopping bag…

A cupcake (also known as fairy cake, patty cake) is a small cake designed to serve on person, commonly baked in paper cases or “cups.” They were an American invention (as many delicious recipes are!)

Do you know what my favourite cake is? Banana cake. Do you know what my favourite thing with bananas is? Nutella. Do you know what is exactly one week away? World Nutella Day!
So it’s Christmas time. That means it’s the season of festivities, good-will, perpetual hope and of course over indulgence. The latter being, for me personally, the definitive characteristic.
