I…… Continue reading Elderflower Cupcakes

Pecan Caramel Cupcakes

After making enough mince pies over Christmas to feed an army, it was nice to be able to make something different. I had a packet of pecan nuts that have been waiting for me turn them into a pecan pie, but in the end I fancied something cakey, and thought they would be a great ingredient…… Continue reading Pecan Caramel Cupcakes

Peanut Butter and Jam Cupcakes
