Gooey Cinnamon Cake

As soon as I saw this post from David Lebovitz's website, I knew I had to make this cake! If you love butter cake and cinnamon, this is definitely the cake for you. The smell of the cake baking in the oven is amazing and the result so moist and delicious, highly recommended. The cake is meant to be gooey, so make sure you don't overcook it! Mi xo

Gingerbread Cupcakes with Maple Cinnamon Buttercream

Every Christmas I make gingerbread men, but this year I thought I would try something slightly different - gingerbread cupcakes! This recipe is from my favourite cupcake recipe book 500 Cupcakes. I topped the cupcakes off with a maple cinnamon buttercream using Na's basic buttercream with the addition of one tablespoon of maple syrup instead of milk and one teaspoon of cinnamon. The cupcakes turned out really moist and lovely with the addition of crystallised ginger for that extra bite. Merry Christmas! Mi xo

Chai Cupcakes

These mini cupcakes are quite a crowd pleaser and very simple to make! I recently made a batch for a dear friend's birthday party. If you like chai lattes, then you'll love these. It's also quite fun watching people try to guess what spices are in the buttercream. The recipe is as follows:

Cinnamon Macarons with Peanut Butter & Caramel Ganache

I went through a phase of being totally obsessed with making macarons. The perfect rounded meringue shell with cute little feet, I had to make these! It took several attempts and some tears along the way but finally I did it. I often find that macarons are very sweet, using peanut butter adds a slight saltiness that balances the flavours. Mi xo
