    There’s a whole lot of yumminess on these lists – thank you so much. I’ve made the golden syrup cake, also the chocolate cupcakes which aren’t on this list and should be – they’re SO good. Thank you, Lisa and Sarah, for everything you share; I love reading your blog. Happy New Year.

    The Baked Cinnamon Doughnuts look great! I like the “bake” and not “fried” version. Definitely a bookmark for me.
    Happy New Year!
