Black bottom Cupcakes

26/06/201315/09/2019

I have recently discovered Black bottom cupcakes.

This is where a chocolate cheesecake mixture is placed on top of a normal cupcake mix before baking. The result is a decadent power hit of flavour. Apparently these are an American idea and most likely very popular there. I am probably the only ignorant Australian who has never heard of them!!

From this day forward.

This past weekend our family was honoured to attend the wedding of a beautiful young couple we know.

We felt so privileged to be a part of such a wonderful celebration.

Lime & pistachio AGAIN!

29/05/201316/09/2019

I have already posted a recipe for my Lime & pistachio cupcakes, but I have come to prefer this recipe. It has a fresh zesty tang about it and couldn’t be easier to make. I have adapted it from my standard vanilla sour cream recipe, which I am finding so versatile it can accommodate the most delicate flavour combination. It also makes a larger batch, around 18-20 cupcakes.

Sticky date cupcakes with butterscotch cream cheese frosting

I have been experimenting with sticky date pudding recipes and trying a few different ways to put this delicious winter dessert into a cupcake. This recipe is super moist and the hint of aromatic spices complement the dates perfectly. They are delicious as a cupcake or could be spruced up a bit served warm with a heavy dose of butterscotch sauce and ice cream. Any way you choose to eat them, they are scrumptious!!!

These delicious cupcakes are made from my standard Chocolate sour cream recipe. They really come alive with generous lashings of white chocolate cream cheese frosting.

Last week our family hosted a vintage tea party to raise funds for our two oldest children’s overseas mission trips to India and Samoa later this year.
