I felt like baking and jam… and trying out the much famed vanilla vanilla magnolia cupcake recipe. Of course you could use whatever jam you have on hand. I desperately wanted a cream cheese frosting but darn it there was none in the fridge (surprise surprise this stuff doesn’t last long around here), and for reasons I will not mention but are painfully related to cycling to and from work I did not feel like walking to the supermarket!! OW.

Recipe, pics after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

These are so, so good.

This is my second batch so I can pretty much guarantee that if you like coconut and dense cakes then you will like these. And cherries. I have more of a glace cherry addiction than I like to admit and nothing beats biting into what appears to be a plain cake and finding hidden whole glace cherries in there. Ohh baby.

More after the jump incl recipe + lotsa pics Read the rest of this entry »

I have been wasting time/self educating myself on all sorts of random things today.. wordpress, css, a bit of study for my Microsoft 50-236 exam, SLR’s, organizing my recipe collection when I think I have made a bit of a discovery…

i think there is some kind of link between baking/cupcake decorating/general awesomeness and being a female software engineer/programmer/real life girl geek. for my proof i bring you the all round greatness of:

hellonaomi
chockylit’s cupcake bake shop
the cupcake fairy

and im sure there are probably more. weird. very weird. anyone care to psychoanalyze?

I did a swap at work, lunch for cupcakes! I thought I got a pretty sweet deal

ahhh I finally got around to upgrading my wordpress so I can post again right! first things first…

for my 21st I said i would bake the cake if someone bought me the tin i wanted (hey, saved my folks the cost of buying a cake :P) so of course I requested the new Wilton dimenstions cupcake tin

well the first tricky thing was finding a cake recipe to use. more after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
