My Vintage Baby

Just had to share this picture of my little girl modelling a 30yr old vintage dress that used to be mine!

 I think she wears it well! 

What do you think!? 

I want Pink & Blue Cupcakes Please Mama!

Ok my kiddo- whatever you say! 


Errr... Okay here goes! 

What you need:

Two medium Eggs

150g good Butter at room temperature

150g Caster Sugar

150g Sifted Self Raising Flour

Red & Blue Food Colouring

One Small Helper

One laissez faire attitude to your floor

Large Bar of Milk Chocolate & Sprinkles to Decorate

What to do: 

• Go to the shop because it turns out you dont actually have Eggs or Butter. 
• Ok now you can get started. (I divided the ingredients in half so that I could make Pink & Blue) 
• Preheat your oven to 190C.
• Using properly room temperature Butter (it needs to be so that you cant pick it up and have it hold its shape) beat in the sugar- REALLY BEAT IT!

• Break the egg into a bowl and REALLY BEAT that too. 
• Ask your helper to gradually add your beaten egg while you.. uh... REALLY BEAT the mixture!
• Retrieve the bowl that the egg was in from the main mixing bowl after helper drops it in along with the egg. Add a few drops of your chosen colouring...REALLY BEAT the mixture some more! 
• Carefully add the flour by sifting into the mixing bowl- gently fold in using a metal spoon.
• Scoop into silicon cake cases & transfer to the oven for 20 minutes.
• Marvel at how the silicon cake cases really dont melt.  
• Clear enough space in the debris to cool the cakes. 

• Melt the chocolate... develop 6 extra arms to keep your helper out of the chocolate.
• Peel back the cases and dip into the chocolate

• Then you can dunk in sprinkles or leave them nude
• Allow the chocolate to set....

ENJOY!!
