Cupcakes

My Kitchen Aid does not get enough use, I tend to use it for pancakes, however when Leiny is home she puts it to work, making cupcakes.

Today she baked honey and vanilla cupcakes, she found the recipe on here, she is putting Betty Crocker frosting on them....yum, yum. The perfect pick me up for the January blues.

What is your recipe for beating the January blues?

Curracloe beach

Leiny walking on Curracloe beach, County Wexford (where Saving Private Ryan was filmed).


Ireland has experienced the coldest summer in 50 years.


The sky and sea were ever changing blues and greys.

Isla

Isla is now almost 10 months old, (Mr. Margie and I spent five days with Mel, Lein and Isla in the UK), here she is wearing Granny Margies favourite colours and a little aran hoodie.


She attended her friend's first birthday, and dressed in a yellow dress with panda bear print, for the occassion.


Mammy Mel and Auntie Lein made the cupcakes for the party.

Rhubarb Crumble

Leiny and I harvested the rhubarb yesterday, this was the best year yet with lots of pinky stalks perfect for baking.

Leiny and Rommeij made the Nigella Lawson Rhubarb Crumble (recipe here) for dessert last night, served with custard and ice cream. Result: ten totally satisfied diners.

I am joining in at My Romantic Home's Show and Tell Friday, do pop over and see all the Easter preparations from 100's of blogs.

Happy Easter

Cupcake Christmas

I am so lucky to have Leiny home at Chez Margie for the Christmas holidays. I am enjoying every moment with her and also enjoying the wonderful baking she does.



Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting.....yum, yum.



Finished perfectly with sugary sprinkles. What a treat.

More Baby Crafts

I have been busy creating a cot quilt, bumper and pram quilt, bunting and dolls in ready for the arrival of baby. I love this work and have a wish to do it full time.

I based all the designs on the heart favors I made last year for Mel and Chris's wedding.

Leiny and Rommeij baked 100's of cupcakes and these tiny little cakes for our Easter party.

I am in Henley on Thames helping to get the Nursery ready this week, so more news soon.

Big Hugs,

Margie
