It was my lovely friend Heather's Bridal shower last weekend. I say that for want of a better phrase but we certainly did shower her with many, many cakes. I decided to make these miniature lemon cupcakes for the occasion. I adapted this recipe but as always added a bit more lemon zest than the recipe said. When it came to spooning the mixture into the tin I added a little dollop of lemon curd to give a gooey centre. I'm a bit of a sucker for any food in miniature at the moment. Is it weird finding food cute? If so, I'm weird.
I’ve recently become very interested and hugely inspired by event styling. America are way ahead of us Brits on this front! The idea of combining two things I love, hospitality and design seems like a perfect idea. Here’s my bright and bold afternoon tea that I arranged for 7 of my friends. I had a lot of fun designing, making and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. The only complaints afterwards were of a few sugar headaches. I’m very excited to get stuck into some more small scale events!
Tissue pom poms are a bit of a ‘thing’ at the moment, I found a tutorial for how to make them yourself!
My advice would be to have a go at baking the Oreo cupcakes above, they were very tasty indeed!
