If cupcakes could be romantic, then I think I have created the most delicate heart endearing sweet treat that may even send Mr Darcy begging for more!

Best ever Banana Bread
I love this recipe. I have only made it once, and would normally test bake it a few times before putting it on my blog, but this was perfect the first time! Truly!
This is like the real cafe banana bread that you always admire, but sadly overlook to select a more decadent treat. (Or is it just me?!)
Chunky Chocolate chip cookie recipe
This has been my standard biscuit recipe for years. These are the perfect comfort food.
I learned a long time ago that there are a few essential ingredients needed to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie. You must include an egg, a hefty dose of peanut butter and a lot of good quality dark chocolate. No skimping !!
Scones & school friends
Spending time with an old friend was a refreshing experience for me last week. We don’t often see each other, and I am not usually the one saying “yes please” to an offer of a cup of tea. More often than not I am busy bustling around serving the tea and cake. It was such a treat to plonk myself down, pick up one of her deeelicious pumpkin scones and enjoy the familiar comfort of deep friendship. Ohh yes!
Lime & pistachio AGAIN!
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!!!
Chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate cream cheese frosting
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.
Spicy pumpkin & date muffins
Long before I began my recent love affair with icing sugar and food colouring, I would whip up a batch of muffins almost daily for my family or the ever constant stream of visitors that come through our home.
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.
Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes with Peanut Butter frosting
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!
