IT’S CHOCOLATE ORANGE CUPCAKES FOR CHRISTMAS THIS TIME!
“Let’s dance and sing and make good cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year.” Sir George Alexander Macfarren CHOCOLATE ORANGE CUPCAKES Festive food for Christmas! In a span of 2 days I baked over a 100 cupcakes & iced them as well. The first 80 were vanilla cupcakes, the ones for the playschool Christmas party. These last batch I had to do a little different for my own experimentation & therapeutic pleasure! The flavours of chocolate & orange complement each other beautifully. I love the way the Christmassy ones turned out with the red, white & green; & also the pink ‘n’ purple ‘very girly ones’. For the chocolate…

“‘If ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ were candy and nuts, wouldn’t it be a Merry Christmas? “ Don Meredith VANILLA CUPCAKES FOR CHISTMAS OK…am back again.

Baking | SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD…Think Spice Cinnamon!
“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” Harriet van Horne SPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREAD This is a sweet & spicy shortbread, not the traditional sort, because I made it with brown sugar that gave it a very different texture. In addition, I went further and sprinkled the tops with a mix of brown sugar & cinnamon before baking, which enhanced the flavour of cinnamon! Flowers on stars!! I love the ‘Think Spice’ monthly event at Sunita’s World. It does make you put on your thinking cap, and actually think the spice…at least with me it does! Can you imagine…I been thinking ‘Cinnamon’, her…

Back to baking again…ORANGE SHORTBREAD COOKIES
“And every day when I’ve been good, I get an orange after food.” Robert Louis Stevenson ORANGE SHORTBREAD COOKIES Orange Shortbread Christmas cookies from the ‘Great Big Cookie Book’…crispy, buttery & just right on sweetness. Its the orange zest that adds a burst of fresh flavour to this shortbread. Its amazing how much of a difference natural flavours can make to food! The orange before it lost its zest! The recipe is quite similar to the Lime Shortbread Cookies one I posted a few days ago; except there are no twists to the original recipe this time, but for the shapes. If you haven’t got cookie cutters, worry not! Just…
