Thirty tomorrow...
Pale pink peonies and chocolate cupcakes iced with pale pink icing...
Happy Birthday Me!
My friend Clare lent me her copy of Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery and, since David is seriously wrapped up in exams at the moment, I thought that I would celebrate myself by spending Sunday morning doing what I love most (after David of course)...baking!! These light and moist chocolate cupcakes were easy to whip up and....happily...my buttercream turned out alright in this stupid humid heatwave we are having (bring on the rain!!) And the peonies? you might ask...well they bloom on cue for my birthday back home in my parent's garden so I thought they were a fitting (if outrageously expensive) treat...hey! I am only 29 for one more day...gotta milk it!
Happy birthday!
