Happy National Cupcake Week everyone!
Over recent months there have been vicious rumours that cupcakes are going out of fashion…never I say!
Why else would we dedicate a whole week to these delicious, pretty little cakes!
There are too many cupcakes around for me to list in this blog but below are my top 5 recipe ideas for you to try this cupcake week!
Ultimate Vanilla Cupcake – and what’s wrong with plain old vanilla?
