It's official, Easter's less than a month away and if I was looking for a another reason (not that I need it) to get baking, this would be it. Seems like the perfect match if you ask me... I love baking + I love chocolate = (insert heart eyes emoji)! Easter truly would not be Easter if these babies didn't make an appearance. I have already whipped and eaten (not by myself!) the first of two possibly three batches of these cupcakes. They are some what of a … [Read more...]
A Simple Butter Cake
Happy Wednesday! As promised yesterday, today I am sharing my (very close) second favourite cake recipe with you. A little bit different to yesterday's Chocoholic Choccie Cake but still every bit as good in its own right. Today's cake is a simple 'Butter Cake'. Personally I think this butter cake is delicious!

Because this year was Steve's 40th I wanted to do something extra special on the birthday cake front, plus I had been wanting to make an Anti Gravity Cake for a … [Read more...]
Decadent Cadbury Jaffa Slice
If you follow me on Social Media you may have seen that over the weekend a couple of bars of the Cadbury Jaffa chocolate conveniently, by accident made their way into my hot little hands. Not surprising, I know, as lately chocolate has been my thing #thebabywantedit. So of course when I spied the combination of good old Jaffa's with yummy diary milk I couldn't resist. Armed with a couple of bars in hand (only a couple I promise), I headed home to show Steve my find. He was pretty excited … [Read more...]
