Sweet as honey, with roses on top! Cakes that look this pretty never last long around here. They say you eat first with your eyes, and with these mini loaf tea cakes I did find myself staring wistfully at them for an uncomfortable amount of time. Everyone is inspired by something, or someone. It could be a…

Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Old Fashioned banana cupcakes are the best! Lately I’ve been returning to some of my earliest recipes. Things I made just because they tasted amazing. No frills, or fuss, just what we love to eat. I decided to give my banana cupcakes an overhaul, and see if I could make them look a little bit…
Chocolate Cupcakes With White Chocolate Buttercream
Christmas is just around the corner, but the baking has already begun. If you love a fluffy chocolate cupcake (or two), this is the recipe for you. These are a snap to make, and they are always gone too fast in our house.
White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes
These cupcakes are my best. They really are. If I was to enter a cupcake recipe competition, not entirely sure that’s a thing, these would be the ones I put up. Maybe it’s an Aussie thing. We sure do love white chocolate and raspberry together. We also love our mud cakes. Dense, rich cake….
Pink Champagne Cupcakes
Pink champagne cupcakes just sound nice, don’t they? Like you could just sit there, with a glass of bubbly, enjoying a cupcake, while watching someone else clean up your house, do the laundry, give you a pedicure.. Okay, maybe not quite like that, but they are pretty good if I do say so myself. They…
Piña Colada Cupcakes
If you follow our Insta, you’ll have seen these cupcakes a few weeks back. Piña Colada cuppies. These are fun, fresh, and great for when the weather warms up. It’s like a tropical breeze, that you can make anytime.
Earl Grey and Orange Blossom Tea Cakes
This is the treat I take when I visit people I don’t know very well. It’s the perfect ice breaker. It’s not laden with sugar, it’s not chocolate, it’s not fussy. The aroma of orange blossom is sweet, and quickly fills the room you are standing in. It just tastes like homestyle baking and friendship. It’s…
Red Velvet Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
There’s just something about a fluffy red velvet cupcake. My youngest loves them; it’s her favourite flavour. Adding the hint of lemon, just gives that cream cheese frosting the little zing it needs. Whenever I make these, I just can’t stop staring at the way the red food colour and oil combine. It’s like one…
Chai Cupcakes With Honey Cream Cheese Frosting
I thought about how to describe this cupcake to you. It’s got spices, but not spicy. It’s got cream cheese, but it’s not tangy. It’s like winter’s morning. Cinnamon, spice, warmth, and every time I eat one I’m imagining it alongside a delicious mug of hot apple cider. It’s not easy getting your hands on…
Vanilla Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Frosting
I use this cupcake recipe for everything. Cupcakes, vanilla cakes, you can make two 7″ rounds with this recipe just perfectly. Bake for about 50 minutes, and you are set. Having a staple recipe is so handy, and this one is great with other flavours added. The frosting.. well it’s a whole other thing! It…
