Belgium Cupcakes

I said I was going to try and perfect making Belgium Slice well instead I've made Belgium Cupcakes filled with a raspberry jam & a cream cheese mixture covered in raspberry and rasberry jelly crystals frosting mmmmmmm

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

Does anyone remember that poem? hehehe well no one did here because clumsy me dropped and broke the lid and to make the situation even more annoying I have only had my cookie jar for 3 days! Bummer oh well. So what you see in these pics is my fat old cookie jar tipped upside down so with some scrummy cookies stacked on top :)

Chocolate Caramel & Peanuts

One of my favourite combinations is chocolate, caramel and peanuts!

I so need a new camera! These pictures don't really do this little cupcake any justice but I tell you the gooey caramel in this cupcake which I made from brown sugar, butter and cream was delicious!

High Tea - Mini Tea

So tonight is the night that I catch up on my blogging or well it was non blogging so here are some pics of my sons High Tea Party - Mini Tea. And including his own vanilla butter cupcakes, covered in vanilla butter cream, topped off with a Coles animal jelly lollies. Those lollies are so nice!!!!!

These pics are 4 months old but hey I've been busy :)

Lolly Cake

Ok ok to all you kiwis so it's called Lolly Cake, well I call it lolly slice. Instead of making the cake into like a hand rolled dome shape. I decided that I'd rather prefer to have it set in my slice tin since it's just soooo much easier. For those who do not know what this slice is I'm sure after one bite you will be hooked for life hehe.

Made using malt biscuits, butter, condensed milk, coconut and fruit puffs (I'm in Aust so had to use astronauts from IGA). It is just truly scrummy, takes me back to my childhood for sure!

Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

My two boys were blessed with a baby sister a couple of weeks back woo hoo. So for a little treat they helped me make a batch of cookies & cream cupcakes for their step mother. I thought they did a pretty good job with the decorating and all. So using a basic vanilla cupcake recipe flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, milk, vanilla extract we then added crushed Oreos to the mix and Viola all done. We then made a vanilla butter cream and added more crushed Oreos to the mix, finishing off with a mini Oreo on top ahhhh just perfecto!

Picnic Cupcakes

I really enjoying making cupcakes because there are so many variations to simple recipes. Last week I made a batch for my brother in laws birthday. They were a basic chocolate cupcake mix flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, milk, coco & coffee. But I added crushed peanuts and a jersey caramel in the centre. These were also covered in chocolate butter cream with a couple of rows of melted Cadburys milk chocolate added yum yum.
