OK so did some baking in the weekend.. just a few things.. did the cupcakes with the baby hand molds for my friends Anna and Toby, but forgot to take photos!
Did get photos of the ones I made for my cousin's funeral on Sunday, and also the birthday cake I made for Zekiah's party.
Cupcakes were banana and cinnamon with caramel buttercream which... wait for it.. Dave made for me! I even let him try piping on a burnt cupcake!
The cake is red velvet chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. was fun to make and rather simple too.
Wishing I had a proper spatula for icing though, avoid all the knife marks.
But both went down well and I didnt eat any :(

Mmmm.. been baking my butt off today as it's Relay for Life tomorrow and a good opportunity to do some baking and not be left with guilty treats lying around the house begging me to eat them.
Made hot cross buns which is a first for me.. really just wanted to try the recipe and also meant I could eat one of the things I made as I'm on 30 days without sugar and the sugar content in them is minimal.
Also did Orange poppy seed biscuits but had no oranges so they became lemon poppy seed.. and some chocolate cupcakes whihc I think I will ice with either white chocolate butter cream or white chocolate ganache.. still undecided..
Got a pressie in the post this morning! The fondant mould I ordered off trade me for baby hands so I can do cupcakes for my sister's baby shower and also friends of ours Anna and Toby just had a baby, and my Aunty just had a baby.. so will get to give it a good testing!
Also on an excursion this morning without the children I decided to visit BJ Cake Decor.. other than havinga good chat about how useless the cupcakes were on last night's episode of Nestle's Hottest Home Baker.. I bought some sugar paste paints for painting my newly made sugar paste hands.. when the relay is over I will get to make them!

My intro to the world of blogging...

Ok.. so I've been a blog addict for a while but from afar only.. and mostly just to find good recipes!
But now I have joined Iron cupcake which means I must have a blog of my own and so .. voila... it's a blog!
I call myself a secret domestic goddess cos I have a passion for cupcakes and baking and cooking in general that kinda clashes with my job as a personal trainer... and my wellness consultancy I am starting up..
So if you know who I am.. we'll just keep this blog our little secret.. ok?
