Formula 1 themed 40th Birthday cake.

This cake was definitely a testing one to do but i had fun doing it all the same. I made this for someone who was celebrating their 40th Birthday and who also likes to follow formula 1 racing. The car was the hardest to make as it is all edible and made out of sugarpaste but after a few failed attempts i finally got it!!!

Now for some much needed stress relief i think. Today i am making a chocolate Guinness cake for my husband as it was his birthday yesterday and also my favorite item of all time..........cupcakes. You just can't beat them.
NO! really you can't.

Gingerbread muffins.

Gingerbread muffins rule!

I have been tweaking a recipe i use to make lovely Gingerbread muffins. I have slightly altered the ingredients and added some stem ginger in syrup (chopped into small pieces). I am very happy now with the recipe and i will definitely stick with this one. To say i am extremely happy with how the muffin turned out would be an understatement....i am delighted. The muffin is so moist and delicious. The stem ginger pieces give it a slight kick but it is not overpowering in any way and the sweetness of the muffin compliments this perfectly.
