I was so inspired by actually making a yummy lamb roast, that I thought, hey I can bake too! So I actually pulled out the "Cook With Jamie" cook book and found something I felt confident I could tackle. Low and behold: Tea-Party Fairy Cakes. BRING-IT-ON!
You know how some people are entree people, and some people are dessert people? Well, I feel that I am both. I don't like to discriminate when it comes to food hehehe What can I say, we live in a very PC world these days!
As you can see, I have all the ingredients laid out ready to go. I feel that I should mention, my folks can bake. They make awesome cakes and biscuits, and are generally great cooks! Me? I'm... learning. Especially when it comes to baking! But this recipe from Jamie was so simple, even I couldn't get it wrong!So here we are, mixing it up...
Opps... Can you see the experience oozing? hehe
To be honest with you, I didn't really expect this:
To turn into this:
How excited was I to have the cupcakes rise, and not burn, and look the way they are supposed to!?! I was jumping for joy. So now comes the exciting part, decorating the cupcakes with icing! And if you're wondering, those are crushed blueberries in the icing.
I heart dessert.Location: A house around the corner from mine
Soundtrack: I was listening to Funeral - Arcade Fire 2004. They are a rock band from Montreal, Quebec. The came to Sydney for the Big Day Out and had a side gig which I had tickets to. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it. They had no support band that night, so they played for over 2 hours! Ever since then, I've been kicking myself for not being better organised BOO!

I had to show restraint not to eat them all BY MYSELF!
