Sad times. Very Sad times. I left the lovely city of Edinburgh and am now back on the equally lovely, if slightly dreich, Isle of Skye!!! I am still baking away which is no surprise but I have found one small stumbling block - a distinct lack of people to give/force them on to?! I am not going to be able to eat these all myself!? Oh how I miss the awesome folks of Black Medicine, Brass Monkey, Dovecot and my amazing mates for relentlessly taking anything I bake without question!
I am also now starting to make other things..... not just cupcakes!!! I do still love them though! I have been making my first ever pastry for quiche, so here is hoping it tastes good!!! And some Millionaires Shortbread. My utter achilles heel. It makes me weak at the knees. I do love it that much. So here are some photos to keep you all amused...... I have ordered some big bakery deal thing from groupon which I am FAAAR too excited about arriving so expect a *Giant* cupcake and cake pops and other delights in the future! =D I am eager to give them all a go!!
Orange and White Chocolate
These do not sound too exciting..... BUT they are made with fluffy egg whites and ground almonds to make them uuber light!
Oreo and Vanilla
An improved version of the first ever cupcakes I made. These do look decidedly better!!
White Mocha
To *die* for...... coffee sponge with white chocolate in the middle and then both Coffee and White Chocolate Icing. My two favourite things in theee whole wide world!
Red Velvet
So, I don't get what the whole fuss is with Red Velvet but when you add a love heart to it I start to maybe like them..... a little!
Banana and Caramac
One of my favourite childhood sweets and a chance to experiment. They tasted pretty good but maybe need a little tweaking!
Millionaire's Shortbread
I am only having one piece......... I swear....... Ok....... Go on...... Maybe one more........ and another tomorrow!
