My passion...and a favour from my American pals :)

This post is inspired by a post i read on Saskia's blog...it was a post that included a picture of my passion....cup cakes! Yes i am a true desperate housewife (although not married lol) i loooove baking! I just love how happy cupcakes and birthday cakes make people feel..i challenge anyone not to smile when you receive a cake made especially for you! :)I have touched on this passion before in a previous post but Saskia's post reminded me to update some of the cakes I've made and help any of you guys if you fancy giving it a whirl! So I've included some piccys and some books which i think actually help and more importantly..they're achievable designs etc!









If you guys like this kind of pot or want any help then let me know as i will do some more posts on cakes i make..when i get the magical gift of time to bake lol :)

Also another quick passion of mine..hot choc..not just any hot choc though..land lakes raspberry hot chocolate! It is my favourite drink evvvvver..has anyone tried this? OK now for the bad news...it..like many other great things is only available in the US...now i need a favour can any kind blogger from the US support my habit and maybe send me some...obviously i will pay for the goods or if you'd prefer i can send some English delights...things are getting desperate people I'm on my last cup...see evidence below!!



Yes this post is high in sugar..now go brush your teeth before bed girls!

  13. hey i love vanilla hot choc and itd hard to get hold of, so i just buy regular hot choc like Cadburys and add a few drops of vanilla flavouring/extract. Maybe you could buy a small bottle of raspberry flavouring and add it to regular hot choc till you can get some more of your fave.I am off out now to see if i can get any raspberry flavouring from my supermarket as i never even thought of that flavour before - itd made my day.xxx
