Last week, I was busy in the kitchen baking treats for many a birthday. One very special treat was some dairy-free cupcakes for my lactose intolerant bestie, Miss Merx! I wanted to really treat her to some luxury treats, from look to taste, ensuring they were still indulgent treats even without all the dairy/buttery components of regular cakes. So I baked our Vanilla Bean sponge, topped it with a dark chocolate butter-free swirl and a dark chocolate dipped strawberry with white royal icing dots. I packed the little treats in complimentary red cupcake boxes, and made my way up to Covent Garden...and then the heavens opened, and it rained, and rained hard! My shoes were soaked, jeans, jacket, name it got wet! And as for the cupcakes, they arrived safely and intact, to be enjoyed by all!! It was a fab, relaxing evening, with FAB chicken, and I met some wonderful people. So Happy Birthday lady and have a blessed and FANTABULOUS (i love this word!) year ahead!!
I really need to invest in a new camera...hmmm!
Sweet Wishes & 2 Kisses!!
