Now these were a personal favourite, the brown sugar added a caramel type taste and soft texture that i had previously dreamt of having. the chocolate chunks were to die for. it was very cakey. all of which i found very satisfying.

Blueberries are a favourite in my family so for a bit of a family reunion i felt some baking with the interesting fruit was a must.
My muffins are still very much a work in progress in terms of appearance - sometimes they do not reach mountanious proportions. Topped with some vanilla sugared blueberries they were a refreshing treat.

I have been complimented that these cakes are a work of art and I must boast that i was garnishing with a pretentious flick of my wrist as if i had a paintbrush in my hand, standing back to admire my masterpiece i felt very creative.



The chocolate cakes were relatively light ass i used milk chocolate as opposed to dark, topping with melted chocolate and then organic cherries.

These were a self inspired jewel of a cupcake adorned with some muddy coloured gems of their own. Having made a plain vanilla cake mix, I wanted to spice the cakes up a bit so added a mess of crumbled left over homemade brownies- the result- mouth watering.

The lightness of the cake contrasted by the highly rich topping was fantastic and i love the photo capturing the almost red tint in the brownies

As a white chocolate lover, i cant bake some rich dark chocolate brownies without accompanying with its somewhat paler counterpart- the blondie.
So much lighter than the traditional brownie, they are a refreshing change and popular with children.

My mother referred me to a wonderful chocolate brownie cake recipe that makes the most delicious brownies. These go down a treat, in fact they barely last a minute once baked, however if the brownie fans can wait it is well worth it as when over a day old the outside is that bit crumblier and the inside dense and moist and best appreciated in this state.

These tasty bites are an interesting eat and well worth an experiment. You cannot help but feel you are being healthy somehow when eating these perhaps it is as i bought the dried apricot from a health food shop!



I was complimented these cookie were like a well known cookie shop chain, the consistency was pleasing. The combination of apricot and white chocolate inspiring.

Just wonderful! these had a beautiful crusted top and underneath the slight dryness and doughyness required for a muffin. Were much liked however eat with a glass of milk as they do have that dryness!

These were an experiment, I like a cake to have nice decorations so wanted to make a rich cake in which i added molasses (so yes a very rich cake) to sit under my sugar dusted blueberries.

I love butterfly cakes, they have a frivolity that reminds me of my childhood so when cooking for a younger crowd i opt for these delights.
Better dusted with icing sugar however i ran out.
