Last week was filled with many cupcake-related happenings. My niece and I ventured into Paddington on one of the days, in search for shoes (not cupcakes), and I was so excited when I saw this sign in the distance:
Last Friday, we had some family members coming over for dinner and I wanted to make something special for dessert. Since I was cooking up a storm for dinner, it was tempting to choose one of my easy, tried and tested desserts, like chocolate fondue with fresh fruit and marshmallows…………
Birthday celebrations are always so much fun! I was so spoilt over the last week, with a number of special birthday get-togethers in my honour. Although I’m sad to report that there were no cupcakes to be seen anywhere, there were certainly many other treats to make up for the absence! A lovely lunch and […]
This week has been a time of rest and recovery for me, so I apologise that I didn’t get to try any new cupcake recipes…I’m really prolonging this discovery of the perfect recipe, aren’t I? I just hope you don’t get tired of waiting!! I still have some photos of some sweet and savoury […]

And I especially love those lazy, all-day pyjama days! Along with all the shopping, visiting family and friends and other […]
I just got back from spending a rainy long weekend in glorious Forster. Having “rainy” and “glorious” in the same sentence seems odd, but these days weather is the least of things that could take my joy away! We were so blessed to have been invited by some precious friends to stay with them […]
Last week, I decided that I would make some cupcakes for my first Writer’s Club meeting, which was scheduled for Saturday at my place. The basic aim of our meetings is to get together once a month to encourage one another in our various creative endeavours. We found that some of us love writing, some […]
