Blueberry Muffins

EEEKKK! I used the silicone rose bakeware moulds to make blueberry muffins and they turned out really well.

Blueberry Muffins
2oz/ 50g Vegetable Oil
2oz/ 50g caster sugar (approx.2 heaped tablespoons caster sugar) 1 Egg 4oz/ 100ml Milk
Whisk the vegetable oil, caster sugar, egg and milk together Fold in
5oz/ 125g Flour (plain)
1/2 Tablespoon Baking Powder
A pinch of Salt
The mixture will be lumpy that's OK don't over mix
Add the blueberries (if they are large cut in half I used organic ones they tend to be small)
100g blueberries
Heat the oven to 200C/ 400F/ Gas mark 6
Lightly oil the muffin tin moulds (I used the silicone moulds so don't need to oil) and add your mixture
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until risen and golden.
Cool on a wire rack.
These are nice served warm but are just as tasty when cold

Bargain Bakeware

I got some excellent silicone bakeware at my local Lidl store yesterday. They were a bargain too only £2.99 each, I had seen the rose cake moulds recently and they were to pricey for me they were £12.99. I am happy with my bargain I will try them out at the weekend :) I'll post the results

Hummingbird Bakery

February was my birthday and we went to the wonderful Hummingbird Bakery in Portobello Road for some yummy cupcakes.

The queues were long, the smell of cocoa was in the air getting stronger the nearer we got to the shop entrance. Then we were in to rows of cupcakes and sliced cakes. So much to choose from.

We decided to get a selection of cupcakes to try at home, they were boxed carefully in Hummingbird Bakery boxes, tissue and bag just like a present.

Than home to unwrap the tasties with some coffee. We divided up the cupcakes into quarters so we could try a piece of each one.
This nutella cupcake was my favourite :)
