We just had a lovely relaxed weekend with Mel, who was up from London to visit. I tried my hand at red velvet cupcakes for her birthday – aren’t they cute?!
The ones from Hummingbird Bakery have a delicious cream cheese icing on their famous red velvet cupcakes that I couldn’t replicate, due to a bit of Sainsbury’s confusion between crème freche and “soft cheese”. The butter icing was still yum though.
On Sunday we headed out to Lyme Park and Hall – which was used as Pemberley in the {excellent} BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It was pretty, but rainy and blustery – so possibly not the best day for it. The Sunday roast afterwards was superb though.
We have a sofa bed (for the van) today! Exciting!!

nice cupcakes... :)
They look so cute! I've heard all of teh great things about red velvet cake but have yet to try it!
cute cake! Are you going to have a cupcake cake at your wedding???
Hahah. You're too funny! The mustard and snot green... is that an unexpected combo that you love -- is that what you mean? Oh, and I think you could call snot green "chartreuse"... but I might just like the term "snot green" better. ;-)
I'll have everyone know that the cupcakes were even tastier than they look - so you know they were pretty damn amazing! I have the coolest friend in the world, don't I?
