Rimmel London & Seche Manicure



So today was the day i re- do my nails. 

I have to say, i didnt think i would choose black, considering the sun has been showing itself today... 

But anyway, Rimmel London's 800 Blackout was just shouting at me from my drawer!

Topped off with probably thee best 'high shine' top coat out there, from Seche. 

*my own nails also*


Happy Wednesday evening to you!

Remembering my Nanny...








So today i woke up, and thought i would wear my late Nanny's 70's yellow wool coat. 

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

So was such a fashionable lady in her day.

I am a lucky Granddaughter. 

Until next time...

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
