Happy Easter
Last weekend (gosh that makes me realise how long ago I blogged!) the boys and myself made a whole load of gorgeous choccy muffins. The boys don't very often express an interest in baking but they both fancied a go when i suggested it, bless 'em.
So we made two batches of 12, making 24 gorgeously chocolatey muffins, because 12 wasn't enough, lol ! It is a Cadburys recipe and it makes the bestest Chocolate Muffins in the whole wide world. Then blow me down, those 24 had gone by Sunday lunchtime and so Abi made another 12. Thats how piggingly fabaroonily scrummy they are. Pig out weekend it was. Muffins all the way.....
Jake was camera shy for some reason, might be because he hadn't done his hair, lol, and so wasn't keen on me getting a full frontal shot. But I did manage a couple of sneaky sideways pics of him making the muffin mix, with Cam too.
JAKE - WEIGHING INGREDIENTS
CAM - CRACKING EGGS
CADBURY CHOCOLATE MUFFINS - see recipe under Pages, left hand side.....
In my last post I mentioned that I had done a couple of layouts for my friend, who has a beauty business. She wanted a couple of layout showing her room, which she could display on her table when she goes to shows and fayres. I came up with two very simple layouts, in her chosen colour schemes, which she was very pleased with. I kept it simple so that there would be minimum damage due to handling, as they will probably be handled a lot. I also backed them onto 12x12 chipboard to make them sturdy.
Anyways thats it for now folks. I have done a CJ (albeit a little late) and will sort out the photos for that for another post. I'll sort out the Cadbury recipe for the muffins too and createa recipe section on here for those that are interested and who haven't got the recipe already!
Have a wonderful Easter folks...........xx
Love your layouts, they are gorgeous!!! Are you going to share that yummy cadbury's recipe then????

Great to see the boys baking. It's surprising what they pick up just by watching you. I really thought I had failed to teach mine very much, but they seem to be quite competent in the kitchen.
I lurve those beauty LOs, they look so inviting and professional - it would make me want to go there,but then it doesn't take much to lure me into a beauty salon lol

Thirty six muffins in one weekend?! Crikey! Hope you all enjoyed them :) The LOs look gorgeous, Caroline - very calm and inviting (and I hate beauty salons - lol!)

Well done to the boys for making the muffins and for Abi for replacing the rapidly scoffed ones too! LOL
WOW! Those LOs are fab Caroline. The colour combo is great.
