Every week, my mum’s side of the family gather at Grandma’s for a delicious meal. Casserole, roasts, lasagne - beautiful comfort food always welcomes us. While I haven't inherited this interest in cooking savoury food, and I'm more likely to be eating frozen pizza than whipping up a fish pie, I love to bake, and as such provide some kind of dessert every week. While some have gone better than others (the chocolate torte needs work), I thought I would start a record of my efforts.

Vanilla and Strawberry Cupcakes
Having iced the thirteen mini birthday cakes for Gramps, I had
fourteen vanilla cupcakes left over. I made some more
butter cream icing using the recipe from Love
Food: The Cupcake, adding three teaspoons of strawberry jam and mixing
well. I smoothed this onto the cakes and
rolled out a small lump of fondant icing.
Using a small sharp knife I cut little hearts out of the fondant and
stuck them gently on the cakes. They
still tasted light and fluffy even after a few days, and the butter cream and strawberry icing
worked nicely. Waste not want not, I suppose; you cannot have too much of some good things.
