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.…

Tim Tam biscuits have been a household kiwi delight for many years. So when Shannon from Be My Light Blog and Instagram approached me wondering if I could collaborate with her on a project she was currently working on, of course I jumped at it.…
Earl Grey and Spiced Caramel Cupcake
Cookie Dough Cupcake
If you’re a sucker for anything sweet then you need to give this cupcake a whirl. This cupcake really takes me back to when I was younger, waiting for my mum to bake some cookies so I could sneak some of the dough without her noticing. Who would have thought that later in life you could simply buy frozen cookie dough right from your supermarket freezers to eat, or bake if you’re that way inclined.…
Cola Cupcakes
I’ve personally tried several different cola inspired cupcakes in the past and nothing has really made me think ‘yeah I can taste a cola flavour here’.

You can either stew your own apples for the filling, however this time around I brought a can of pie filling – does the same job. The custard cream is also something a little different, it’s somewhere in between whipped cream and buttercream and tastes absolutely delicious.

Afghan Cupcake
Home bakers around New Zealand will be able to say that the Afghan biscuit is a staple in any cookie tin. There’s just something about a delicious chocolate biscuit smothered in chocolate icing and a walnut jabbed on to. Oh and we can’t forget my favourite part, those iconic cornflakes baked throughout the biscuit.…
