Having made my speculaas last week I was so enamoured of the flavour of the spices that I wanted to make something else with them too. I decided to make some cupcakes and was all set to go when I discovered a recipe on Bakingmad for ginger and cinnamon cupcakes. Although I wanted to use the […]
Today’s recipe is for a cupcake. This one has a lovely almond flavour and is very light. I decided not to put buttercream or frosting on the top, as people can decide for themselves if they want that. For me the light little cake is good enough as on its’ own. To make them lighter […]
Who doesn’t enjoy a cupcake from time to time? Certainly I do!. So today I decided to make some. I had bought some White Peach purée, which was supposedly to be used for making cocktails but which I thought would be ideal for baking too. So I looked around for a recipe that might […]
I only recently tasted Passion Fruit and really enjoyed it. So I bought some and made some curd and then used that in some tarts. However I had a problem with the video, so I couldn’t put it on youtube, but it is in this blog. Passion Fruits tend to be very expensive, but I […]

After my last bake I had some frosting left in the fridge, so I decided to use it up by making some Chocolate and Hazelnut cupcakes. Chocolate and hazelnut is always a good combination and I think the addition of the mild apricot flavor in the buttercream makes a great topping. The recipe I followed […]
I decided to try some cupcakes, using strawberries as a flavouring. Fresh strawberries, pureed for the cake mix and for the frosting too, and then some slices of strawberry on top sounded like a good idea. It was a bit of a guess just how much puree to use in each, but with the frosting […]
