Beer and Pretzel Cupcake

August 27, 2017 By Dane McGregor 1 Comment

Cupcakes don’t always have to be bright and covered in sprinkles and glitter. Not that anything is wrong with that, however for this recipe I wanted to put together a cupcake with a more muted colour palette and incorporate an aspect of masculinity for the guys out there.

When thinking about a delicious flavour combo to get you curiously salivating and get the girls AND guys excited, I decided that there was nothing more blokey than beer and pretzels. So here you have it, a light beer and chocolate flavoured cake, topped with cream cheese frosting and crammed packed with salty pretzels. These contrast of flavours need to be added to your bucket list and made for any event where you want to impress a beer or chocolate lover!

It's a new year and my mind is full of different r It's a new year and my mind is full of different recipe fusions, ideas and delicious out of the box creations.

However I have one question for you all...

What crazy ideas or fusion recipes would you like me to try out, bring to life and share here on Instagram and in Stories?

GO!
What a good looking line up! For many (myself inc What a good looking line up!

For many (myself included), 2020 was a bit of a blur. But I did keep myself busy and my Instagram kept on ticking away in the background, either with photos or stories. 

Still in the early days of January, I thought I’d quickly share my top 9 Instagram photos of 2020 before the New Year passes. 

Having this opportunity has given me a chance to re-visit some of my past content and highlight what we’ve enjoyed throughout the year, cakes, bread, cookies and obviously lots of home baking. 

I love the community I’ve built up over the past year on both Instagram and Facebook, so let’s continue this journey of sweetness together into 2021.
Have you had your first coffee of the New Year yet Have you had your first coffee of the New Year yet, and how do you like yours?

I’m a flat white kind of guy. I like to keep it simple with a nice strong espresso shot and plenty of full fat milk. MmMmm, be right back...
