Spoilt by Cupcake Couture

Recently I met with lovely Nadia from Cupcake Couture. We caught up over choc pancakes and cuppacino's! Nadia is very inspiring and full of creative ideas. Its no wonder that's her field. She is a consultant with heaps of advice on blogging, marketing, special events and more!  


Nadia spoilt me with this gift - wrapped up with such special care. It also had a bunny doily tag, which I somehow misplaced. I found a retro cup with a stunning Cupcake Couture Corsage inside. Yes she also makes these corsages! Nadia had no idea but the colours she chose are my favourite! Love it so much, thank you Nadia! Its worth a visit to Cupcake Couture for more of Nadia's beautiful product range! 


How cute is the little "tin bird"?!

The flower design on the mug and the corsage colours are so me!

Easy Peasy Flapjacks

Made these one morning for the family. I was hoping to freeze half for another family breakfast but not many were left. Make a stack with butter and maple syrup accompanied by ham, sausage or bacon. Call them flapjacks call them crumpets; they are simply deelish!




Flapjack Recipe


Ingredients:
500 ml self-raising flour
2 ml salt
10 ml sugar
3 eggs
450 ml milk
60 g melter butter



Method:
Sift flour and salt together. Add sugar.
Beat eggs with milk. Slowly add flour mix to your egg mixture.
Batter can be a little lumpy don't worry.
Lightly stir in the melter butter.
Heat a heavy, greased frying pan.
When its quite warm, using a ladle pour batter into the pan to make the flapjacks as small or as big as you want.
Cook until they are full of bubbles on top and undersides are browned.
Then turn and cook the other side.
Serve in a stack with butter in between.
