Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Icing

February 8, 2019

Time to share a very nice, very simple recipe for some delicious Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Icing. These cupcakes are topped with the kind of rich and smooth icing that will have you eating a cupcake as a kid does, icing first and all over your face, before you bite down into soft vanilla sponge dotted with chunks of real dark chocolate.

I was chatting with some of my friends on Whatsapp a few days back about bran muffins and who has a good recipe for some, which prompted me to get my cookbooks out page through a few recipes. I was adamant to bake something that was going to throw the results of my latest gym session straight out the window!

Raspberry, Custard and maple syrup cupcakes

August 7, 2018

If you are a fan of a good old-fashioned vanilla cupcake but sometimes feel like jazzing it up a bit then do I have a treat for you. Everyone say hello to these Raspberry, Custard and Maple Syrup Cupcakes made from soft sponge, smooth vanilla custard, maple syrup and a hint of tart raspberry. It’s my first time making them and I was so happy with how they came out because they’re not only pretty to look at, but they’re 100% addictive too.

I must be honest and I’m not sure if you guys feel the same, but I struggle with vanilla cupcake recipes. I’ve tried what feels like a thousand of them, but there is less than a handful that I’d share with anyone asking for a really nice vanilla cupcake recipe, luckily I can add this one to that list. These were actually some of the best I’ve tasted, so this recipe is definitely a keeper.

Easy to make bunny cupcakes

August 28, 2017

I’m happy to say that the second episode of mine and Nina James’ YouTube series Tastes Like Nice is out and it’s all about Easy To Make Bunny Cupcakes, which really are easy to make not to mention really fun!

I love making these with her because she really gets to play around with the decorations and often, in the end, we get a mix of the funniest, but best looking ‘bunny’ cupcakes that look like they belong to the craziest crew on the block! This recipe which doesn’t require that much admin or ingredients yields some pretty tasty vanilla cupcakes that have been flop proof every time I’ve whipped them up, so don’t worry about coming out with average cake (some vanilla cupcakes can be so average). The icing I use is a pretty standard butter cream icing, but if you don’t feel like it, you could always replace it with a yummy marshmallow frosting.

Hidden Heart Cupcakes

February 14, 2017

Would you like to know how to make some special Hidden Heart Cupcakes? Because you know how everyone loves biting into a cupcake only to find a hidden heart unless you’re anything like me and you miss the heart altogether because you’re too busy stuffing your face.

These little suckers require a bit more time and effort than normal vanilla cupcakes, but they’re totally worth it just to see the person you love, or the person you’re trying to tell you love be surprised by what’s inside.

Online shopping, giving back and Strawberry Milkshake Cupcakes

June 28, 2016

I’m a huge fan of online shopping mainly because I get to sit on my butt on my couch and look at pretty things which I can order just by pressing a couple of computer keys. I mean don’t get me wrong I love a bit of a Mall trawl every now and then, but nothing beats being able to shop in your tracksuit pants and socks while Game of Thrones plays in the background.

I have a few sites that I really like because of their selection and reliability and one of those places is LOOT, in fact 9 times out of 10 when I’m ordering books online this is my go to place, so I was super pleased to hear that and MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet have just recently made LOOT one of their new retail partners, which means that every time I shop with them I’m giving back to my community and more specifically to my chosen beneficiary the Thuso Fund for Schools & Charities ( LOOT will give back a percentage on every item purchased across their extensive shop towards the MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet program). All I have to do is input my MySchool card number during my payment process and that’s that and the best part is the donation comes from the retailer at no extra expense to the consumer!

Easter Bunny Oreo cupcakes

March 22, 2016

Easter is on it’s way and this year will be the first time that we actually get to indulge in a bit of a Easter egg hunt with Nina James, which I’m really looking forward to. I also thought that it would be fun to create some themed cupcakes, which I don’t really do a lot of, but might make more time for because even though they were a bit of a mission I really enjoyed making them and so did Nina. She was really good at poking and then taking bites out of random ones hehe. Now if I was a baking assistant that’s what I would be doing to. Best job on earth.

These Easter Bunny Oreo cupcakes are literally packed full of Oreos inside and on top, so if you’re a fan then you’re going to like them. A lot.
