These look and sound delicious. I made cupcakes today - carrot cupcakes and chocolate fudge ones.
ReplyDeleteThese look lush. Rach could of made these today with her raspberries. xox
ReplyDeleteOHH cake...... are they for tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteI hope so they look delicious
ReplyDeleteLove the cupcakes. Love the recipe. Love the fact that we are from two very different "English's." What's a GAS 4?.
ReplyDeleteIn my world, I have instructions like Bake at X (say 350) degrees F for X (say 20) minutes. I can usually figure out the "language barrier," but this one has me stumped.
I'll say it again. You are a real sweetheart for providing the conversions (all of them).
ReplyDeleteOh hey Darcy. Thanks for commenting on my blog. I absolutely adore yours. bookmarked it right away and added it to my bloglist. I think we have a lot in common, stamping, papercrafts, art and so much more. Love your hair btw, tried going punky red recently, but the black didn't let me :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, that's what I thought. I keep coloring mine black and would need a A LOT OF BLEACH to go red again. don't think my hair could take it. Shame though. will have to try my best Bettie Page impression, though I'd love to be more Emilie Autumn (you know her? http://www.emilieautumn.com/)
