Love those cupcakes

Liz of the above named blog had a giveaway recently that I read whilst in Italy and it really made me miss proper cakes. We have a well used teapot in the house with a regular supply of Yorkshire teabags and while we enjoy various pastries, croissants, little choux buns or panettone with our coffee a good cup of tea calls for a decent sponge with butter icing. I was fortunate enough to be selected in the draw and yesterday this lovely book and card arrived. Lots of deliciousness, I intend setting myself up with the right equipment, which is listed for each recipe, to take out to Italy with the book so that I never again have cupcake withdrawal.
Thank you Liz, this could be a life saver, we can probably stay even longer next time.

  1. That looks like an excellent book - I'd feel pretty satisfied just looking at the photos, let alone actually baking any!

  2. You're very welcome! Hope to see some pictures of the results of your Italian baking sessions. (Also hope you managed to read my handwriting. I usually use a fountain pen but it was leaking!)

  3. After a long hiatus I'm back, but I've moved! So glad to see you're enjoying life :o) !! Is there any way I can send you a link privately to my new blog as I don't want it in any way linked to my old one :oz ?

  4. How sweet... and what GORGEOUS cupcakes! This inspires me to bake... and I've not made cupcakes in a good while. :o) Thanks so much for visiting. I feels so slow visiting up with everyone these days, so much happening and online a bit less. Great to catch up with you, Jenny! Happy Days ((HUGS))
