HE is Risen!

Happy Easter!!

He is RISEN!”Worthy is the lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honour and glory and praise!”

Lime & Pistachio cupcakes with lime cream cheese frosting

Lime and pistachio cupcakes have been on my to do list for a while now.

I finally seized the opportunity today. I neglected the housework,

escaped the intensely ridiculous HEAT (it IS meant to be autumn!!) and ran away to my kitchen.

A beautiful combination that I am experimenting with.

Lavender infused vanilla cupcakes with the subtle flavour of Earl Grey tea leaves.

A delight for any true lover of afternoon tea!!

A while back I had an overwhelming urge to make cinnamon scrolls.

As I have been making bread for years, I wanted to explore the world of sweet buns!

They were so delicious that I made them twice.

If you roll the dough out quite thinly, you will make enough scrolls to fill two large baking dishes.

Perfect for a crowd…..

This post is dedicated to my beautiful niece Aymee,

who has been waiting patiently for this recipe.

She is a lover of the chocolate/ peanut butter combo and after tasting these delicious cupcakes,

I admit that I have discovered a new favourite too!

I love my husband.

He is the man of my dreams.

This week we celebrated 20 years of happy marriage.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!!!

Watching your children’s faces on Christmas morning somehow makes all of the stress and hard work in planning for the big day worth it!!

I love Christmas.

I love the opportunity to create a beautiful table setting,

make food that we wouldn’t normally eat,

and use it all to honour the One who gave us the very first Christmas.

More visitors………more cupcakes!!!
