Marble whoppie pies

 It's been a manic few months for me, my mood has been pretty low so I've been away from the kitchen for quite a while. However I'm currently off work as it's the Easter holiday so I finally got back in the kitchen. my housemates were out so I jammed up the music, put on my apron and got cooking. It's funny but once I was in the zone everything just came back to me naturally, my mind abuzz with new recipes and flavour combinations. Two hours later I stood back and saw my creation, marble whoppie pies. A chocolate and vanilla sponge, filled with a chocolate and vanilla buttercream, two classics in one.

Lemon cupcakes

Spring is finally here and I couldn't be happier, the cold weather was really starting to bring me down. So much so that I haven't posted on my blog since September! I thought I'd come back with something delicious and fresh and what could be better than lemon. The lemon flavour always reminds me of the sun so it was definitely a must have for todays lovely weather.

Lemon meringue pie cupcakes

I love cupcakes, you can come up with some seriously weird flavour combinations and it always turns out to be one of your best ideas. This lemon meringue pie cupcake is one of these combinations. With a pie crust base, lemon sponge, lemon curd center and a fluffy meringue topping it is by far one of my weirdest creations and I love it!

Cookie stuffed Cupcakes

 

So yesterday I started back to University after two weeks off. Getting up at 7 in the morning almost killed me, but it made me realise that soon I will no longer be at University and that it is time to get my act together. I have less than four month until I'm finished and I need to decide what I'm going to do. As much as I would love to come out of University, open a shop and be sorted for the rest of my life this isn't realistic as to open a shop you need money, and I don't have any of that. So I decided to start job hunting.

DOHnuts (Doughnuts inspired by the Simpsons)

 

So at the moment I love baked doughnuts and as a treat I decided to make my brother some Simpson doughnuts. Since we were little we have watched the Simpsons, I can honestly say it wouldn't surprise me if we had seen every episode. So when I found out that he was coming home from University for the weekend  I knew I had to make them.
