Red Velvet cake

 There is something about red velvet, I don't know whether it's the moist sponge or the cream cheese frosting but I am addicted. This cake is perfect with a cuppa and a huge hit with my family. Simple to make and something different.

Rose meringue kisses

With Valentines day just around the corner I thought it was about time that I started making some of my Valentines recipes, giving you guys enough time to gather all your ingredients and bake your special someone some yummy treats.

Unfortunately this year I will be on my own for Valentines day, but I will be spending a lovely evening alone with my two favourite men, Ben & Jerry.

  I think that Valentines day isn't just about buying extravagant gifts but showing the person you love how much they mean to you and making something is such a good idea as it takes more time and effort than running to the shops. The rose meringue kisses are perfect for this, they look romantic and taste divine! A real sweet treat.  

ROSE CUPCAKES

I love the rose cupcake design, it is one of my favorites so to jazz up the muffins I made yesterday ready for University tomorrow I made up some vanilla butter cream, cut of the top of my muffin and using a petal tip created a rose effect. Trust me at first it can be incredibly difficult and after a number of attempts I am still no closer to perfection. But as I always say practice makes perfect.
