Exciting

Well the website is finally underway and I cant wait to see the results.  Sometimes it feels like I have the best kept secret in Surrey!!!!!  I cant wait to get it out there!!  However there are still cakes to be baked and tea parties to organise so that should keep me out of mischief for a bit!!!!!

Vintage Tea Party

Today we ran a surprise 40th Vintage Tea Party (Happy Birthday to Sam!).  It was pouring outside but the steaming hot tea, cupcakes, banana and chocolate bread and of course, melting moments seemed to warm the hearts of the guests. Judging by the empty teapots and plates we think everyone enjoyed themselves!!!!!! We certainly did!x

Melting Moments!

Now I thought the cupcakes tasted good but this new recipe for melting moments with strawberry butter cream inside is soooooo good! It may have been raining today but the sun was shining in my tummy!x

Ingredients

For the melting moments:
190g butter
60g icing sugar
3/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
38g Cornflour
210g Plain Flour

For the filling:
150g icing sugar
40g butter
few drops of strawberry essence

Beat the butter, icing sugar and vanilla essence together until fluffy.  Add the cornflour and flour and beat until well incorporated.  Roll into small balls (baby tomato size) and gently flatten each one with the flat of a finger.  Once flattened then press each one with the end of a fork to get the fancy lines!!  Bake for 20 mins on 150 degrees.  Allow to cool then beat up the filling mixure (i like to beat it for at least 5 minutes to get it really fluffy).  Spread the filling on one half and press another to form the biscuit.  Sprinkle with a little glitter optional (essential for me).  Enjoy with a cup of tea!x  Makes about 20 biscuits.

His and Hers

A beautiful idea for a baby shower, this was for twins (one of each! perfect!!!!).  Forget flowers, Id vote for cupcakes everytime!!!! If you've got any friends with impending births,why not order them some delicious cupcakes....... after all you need to keep your strength up when you are a new mum!!!!!!!!

Another day another cupcake!!!

Had another lovely morning baking with my girls!  Tried out some cool new colours (I particularly like the ice blue mini cupcakes!!!!).  Baked a selection of mini and massive (!) cupcakes for a birthday party order tomorrow!!!  I think the mini ones are intended for children but when they see the marshmallow i'm not sure that will be the case!!!!! The mini cucpakes are brilliant ....... one bite and they are gone, trouble is one just isnt enough!!!! Oh well you'd better order a box of 24!!!!! xxxxx
