Vintage Cookies

Today's baking is courtesy of Margurite Patten's Wartime cook book, :We'll eat again' the top are Raisin Crisps and the bottom lot are Carrot Cookies.

Cupcakes on hiatus

I am on a health food kick. I have just over two weeks before my short holiday and wheat is off the table....as is sugar....dairy...booze and coffee..... *cries*

On the plus side I have retrieved my We'll eat again recipe book back from Sir.  If you buy one Vintage Recipe book buy this one, not only is it wide, varied, and tasty, it is a war time recipe book so you know the bad calories are rationed so all the items are far more healthy.

Latest cupcakes

Green tea, made with matcha powder and walnuts.

Todays cupcakes

Lime cupcakes, decorated with vanilla frosting and lime zest (hard to see on the camera).

Made them with agave syrup rather than sugar but that is only because I am just practising rather than making them for other people and want to avoid lots of sucrose.

Next up....raspberry.....

Baking cupcakes

Yes, bit of a bore I know, I have started cake decorating, starting small with cupcakes.
BF brought me this lovely icing set along with a really nice vintage style cake stand and a beautiful shawl.
Will update with pictures in future.
