Chocolate Spice Cupcakes

December 5, 2010 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 15 Comments

Sarah loves to spend her pocket money buying cook books and recently ordered Martha Stewart Cupcakes from the Book Depository. It is a beautiful book with lots of lovely recipes as well as ideas for packaging cupcakes as gifts (not that any would last that long around here!)   Sarah made up a batch of delicious Chocolate Spice Cupcakes this afternoon. She certainly spoils us – they were the perfect treat after Christmas shopping.

Sorry I have been a bit remiss in answering comments and emails lately. December is such a busy time of year – can’t wait for the summer holidays!

    Yummy!! My daughter Kristine spends her money on cookbooks as well, and today she’s been trying to find just the right cupcake recipe for my mother’s 60th birthday party next weekend 🙂

    Well, now, don’t they look scrumptious? Yay, Martha Stewart. I made Martha’s Honeycomb Brittle this morning with my granddaughter. Tastes just like I remember when I was a young one! Thanks for the link, karen.

Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouc Sharing a closer look at the Handy Drawstring Pouch today — a sweet little project that’s as practical as it is pretty. I stitched this one in the blue and gold colourway of the Tilda Songbird collection and love how the soft watercolour florals shine in a small make. The pouch features cleverly shaped panels (with no boxed corners), stands tall when in use, and folds completely flat for storage. It’s also reversible, which makes it such a fun and versatile sew.   These little pouches are perfect for organising your sewing room, gifting to a friend, or popping into a project bag.The pattern includes three sizes, and you can find it in both my Pattern Store and Etsy shop. Comment HANDY and I’ll send the link straight to your inbox.A big thank you to @tilda_australia for gifting the beautiful fabric.#tildasongbird #drawstringbagpattern #aspoonfulofsugardesigns #tildafabrics #sewingproject
