mummy2sons: 2015

I tell you, i was more than happy with it, - you could say, i like it alot more than my Seat.... so much so i do not want to hand this car back tomorrow night. Ooops.

Loving the rust colour too, and the accents throughout the cars interior.

My sons are extremely happy with mummy's 'new' car, and have also asked if we can keep it. The man approves to!

So will be a little sad to see this car go back, but that's life i guess...

Until next time.

It is a little big, but its a lovely bright colour.

Salted Caramel Cupcakes

So the other week i got my bake on, and made these.

Salted Caramel Cupcakes.

Pretty simple and easy. Honest.

You'll need...

(To make 12 regular cupcakes)

110g unsalted butter, at temperature
225g caster sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
110ml milk (i used semi skimmed milk)
150g self raising flour
125g plain flour
1 bar of Galaxy Caramel, broken into individual pieces

To start with, preheat you oven to 180c or Gas mark 4, and line your bun tin with the muffin cases.

Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl or mixer until the mixture is smooth with no lumps. Add your eggs one at a time.

Put the vanilla extract and milk into a cup, and add to the mixture.

Combine both flours into a separate bowl, and add gradually into your mixture also.

Make sure all your mixture is together and smooth ready to spoon into your cases.

Add a piece of the chocolate onto the top of each cupcake.

Bake in the oven for around 22- 25 minutes.

Resist urge to peek!

Allow to cool fully, before icing.

Icing.

1 jar of Salted Caramel (i used Sainsbury's Taste the Difference)

250g unsalted butter at room temperature

450g icing sugar

Extra's....

You could adorn you cupcakes with anything you desire, i used Green & Blacks Salted Caramel Squares and Sainsbury's Edible Gold.

Decorate your cupcakes however you wish. Unused icing can be kept in the fridge in a sealed container, unless you don't eat the rest with a spoon!

Enjoy!

Until next time

Boo!

So it's almost Halloween. How has this part of the year come around so quickly?

Apart from the obligatory makeup 'how to's to the ghastly dress ups. Which lets be honest, are fun, but i do not take part in.

Anyway, what i do like doing, is purchasing the extras. What i mean is masks that are meant to be scary, which are actually to be honest are pretty much sexual, and seem to be the way many young single females venture towards. O and Ann Summers. Classy!

Enough with the waffling, here i thought i would show you what i had found whilst browsing the 'tintaweb' (internet for you)...

Rosethern £20

Plasters £10

Bats Face Tattoo £5

Black Cat Ear Headband £4.50

Black and Orange Striped over the Knee Socks £5.50

So enjoy, get dressed up and Happy Halloween!
