Saturday Afternoon Adventures

It was a lazy Saturday afternoon and my parents had come over to visit, so while my dad walked the dog me and my mum made a couple of batches of cupcakes (what else is there to do on a Saturday afternoon?!)

First up, a new recipe - Earl Grey cupcakes, from the Primrose Bakery book (which, by the way, I LOVE!!!!). We decorated them with a vanilla buttercream, tinted lilac.

They tasted amazing - a gorgeous almond flavour, with a really subtle hint of the bergamot from the Earl Grey tea. I recommend buying the book and trying them out!

Next up, a treat for my dad - Cherry bakewell cupcakes, from my favourite recipe book of all time, Cupcake Magic by Kate Shirazi. We decorated them with lemon icing and sugar paste hearts before piping onto them. Most said 'love' but we also piped some family members names onto some of them as well :)
