sweets for my sweet...

Long time between posts. Moving house and starting back up at work= busy busy! Also, the theme of this post is a little late, apologies... but I digress.
With Valentines Day on Monday I was inspired to bake over the weekend, so I tried my hand at some red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing. Hamish has enjoyed nom-ing them, and I have enjoyed eating the leftover icing (I've always preferred icing to the actual cake, naughty).
Here's how they turned out:


Quite happy with them, but I think I can make them fluffier, so I am checking out some cool retro cake mixers:







I hope everyone had a lovely Valentines Day if you celebrate it. Good excuse to be a bit romantic for those of us that get a bit lazy with it sometimes...
