Happy Mother’s Day!  Baking for Mum has always been a bit of a tradition in my family, and I wanted to find a cupcake this year so that I could share the baking experience with my young kids.  The fabulous Bakerella featured these cupcakes with a flower pop recently and I thought they were so [...]

I love the Easter weekend because it reminds me of the wonder of birth, the fragility of life and how much we all need a little magic in our lives.  It’s even more enjoyable with children around you, and this morning the complete and unabandoned joy of my kids when they discovered what the Easter [...]
