Baked Treats

June 13, 2011 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 11 Comments

Winter weather is perfect for baking. Sarah made us a few treats on the weekend. First up were these delicious Cinnamon Scroll Cupcakes – which were beautiful warm from the oven. They were filled with a generous swirl of cinnamon sugar and sultanas. Sarah used a recipe she found over at La Fuji Mama.
Sarah also made some Mini Chocolate Meringue Cupcakes which were the perfect chocolate concoction – halfway between a brownie and a meringue – bliss!She used a recipe from Food Network.
Our freezer is now packed with treats for the week ahead.

    I have been reading your blog for a while now & love what you do, both baking & crafting wise. I really like the cinnamon roll cupcakes & will try them out. Thanks for linking to the site the recipe came from. It looks interesting & I will give it a good look over. Also, thanks for the link to the Queen Annes Lace Scarf tutorial as I too had seen them done on Two Little Banshee’s but didn’t realise they were crocheted. Now I just need to find time to start my own.

A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun look A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun looking back at where I was in 2016 and how far life has come since then. Swipe for a little trip down memory lane.Back in 2016, my priorities were firmly centred around family. I was working full‑time, sewing in the guest room, sharing tutorials on my blog, and slowly dipping my toes into selling a handful of patterns on Etsy. It was a busy, full season — and creativity was something I fitted in around everything else.  Fast forward to 2026… I’m now retired and living the creative life I once dreamed of. My kids have grown up and are living in their own homes nearby. My husband and I are free to travel, explore, and enjoy this stage of life. And I get to spend my days designing, sewing, and connecting with this beautiful community.Life looks different now — in the best possible way.Were you following me back then, or what has changed for you over the past 10 years? I’d love to hear your story too.Tagging the lovely makers of my quilt: @arabesquescissors @ministryoffabric @belloquacity @alittlepatchwork @sameliasmum coleandtaffy @quiltymamaof4 @shequiltsalot @downgrapevinelane @lizzierosesews @lovethatfabric @sew_mimi.k #2026isthenew2016 #10yeartransformation #sewingjourney #sewingcommunity #aspoonfulofsugardesigns
