Autumn has definitely arrived – we’ve had a couple of mornings with frost, some very wet weather and the pavements are starting to get covered in leaves. So for the first cross-country race of the season a few weeks ago I decided to make some autumn-themed cupcakes for after the race. On the day of the race, it was actually extremely mild – not like a typical cross-country race day – which made a nice change! I also really enjoyed the race. The course was great – undulating with a few muddy sections and a water jump (which was my favourite bit – it helped to cool me down!) Click here to keep reading.

Since discovering that we have tawny owls living in the woods near us, I have found a new love for these gorgeous birds. They make the most amazing mystical “twit twoo” sound which we hear most evenings. So it seems very appropriate to blog about these cute little owl cupcakes. Click here to find out how to make them.

Just under a year ago my sister got engaged. I was extremely excited – not just because there was going to be a wedding, but also because I was going to get to make the cake! We made a deal a while ago that rather than making our own cake, we would make each other’s. Click here to keep reading.

I’m always looking for new ways to decorate cupcakes, and when I came across a photo of these, I decided they were too cute not to make. I was looking for something autumnal and had done various searches on the internet before I discovered them. Finding the ingredients to make them was the trickiest part – I think I had to empty 12 tubes of Smarties before I found enough red ones to make the toadstools and even then I didn’t have enough to make one to go on each cake as planned but I decided that if I went back to the Co-op to buy a third lot of Smarties they might start to ask questions so I left it!

Ok, so these aren’t cupcakes but they were meant to go on top of some cupcakes. However, there seems to be a baking powder shortage. The Co-op at the of the road has stopped stocking baking powder (how ridiculous is that?!) so I thought that I would be able to get some from Sainsburys but similarly it has stopped stocking it and only had individual 30g sachets…. which, yep you guessed, were sold out! Forth supermarket later and I still hadn’t managed to find any – I think somebody is trying to stop me making so many cupcakes!! So I decided to give up on the cupcake idea and just go with the cookies but next time I find some in the supermarket (if anywhere still stocks it) I will be buying at least 10 pots of it so that this cannot happen again. If you’re also short of baking powder, click here.
