a little bit savoury | a whole lot sweet
Given there are two Popcorn and Malteser Macaron posts on this blog, you might assume that I am a fan of the malt flavour. Well that assumption is correct my friend. In fact, my go-to milkshake flavour is the combination of two of my favourite things, vanilla and malt.
So when the Vanilla Malted Milk Cake by Hungry Rabbit appeared on my Pinterest feed one day, it immediately went on my ever-growing list of things to make.
Can you believe that on Wednesday it will be one year since I published the first post about My Best Friend’s Wedding Cake? It is just absolutely crazy.
So for my celebratory post on my first blogiversary (as those in the biz call it) I thought I would share the cupcakes that inspired the cake that inspired the blog. These red velvet cupcakes are always popular whenever I make them, so much so that I made over 300 of them one weekend for a bunch of my brother’s friends. I absolutely adore everything about them.
Another one of the cookbooks I purchased recently was SprinkleBakes by Heather Baird. I came across Heather’s blog when I was looking for red recipes to use up the extra food colouring purchased for My Best Friend’s Wedding Cake and I made the Red Spiral Biscuits, also featured in the book.
As I was flicking through the book when it arrived, one particular recipe stood out and I knew I had the perfect occasion to make it. The recipe was for a Southern Bombe and the occasion was yet another September birthday celebration for two of my beautiful friends.
