I figured a return to food blogging wasn’t really legitimate until I post about, well, food. So here we have…
When my friend Cheryl asked me if I would bake some cupcakes for her daughter's 12th birthday with 'Happy 12th Birthday Megan' iced on them I hesitated for a moment. Fairy cakes (as I knew them when I was a child) are easy to make and I've made them enough times before but those glorious cakes with billowing buttercream icing so perfectly iced sitting prettily in the shop cabinet, they were a different matter. Megan had her heart set on cupcakes for her birthday, her mum told me, and I suddenly felt the enormity of the responsibility; would my 2nd rate cupcakes ruin a little girl's big day? Eek!
I love snow and I've been wistfully following the flurries around the UK on the news, Twitter, blogs and Facebook, wondering if it will head my way. I have a section in my new cookbook listing things to do on snow days and I'm looking forward to doing them when I get my own snow day. Until then, I thought it would be fun if we have a little food blogging event and you can send me pictures of the snow where you are so I get to see it, along with the lovely bakes you make. What do you think; sound like fun? <a href="http://www.asliceofcherrypie.com/the-snow-day-bake-of">Read post</a>.
