strawberry cupcakes


Another non-chocolate-based cupcake, another surprisingly delicious result! Due to the strawberry buttercream epically failing (I have no idea what I did wrong!), I whipped up a simple vanilla buttercream to accompany the strawberry cupcakes instead. Find the recipe here.

I love Sydney for so many reasons, but I especially love it for the endless culinary experiences it has on offer. Best of all are the deliciously sweet goodies you come across at every corner as you explore this beautiful city.

bananas and cream cheese


Banana cake and cupcakes are the perfect way to make something scrumptious from bananas that have been hanging around uneaten for a bit too long. Whilst these cupcakes are nice by themselves, the cream cheese frosting is an absolute hero and a perfect partner to this cupcake. A caramel buttercream or honey-cinnamon frosting could also be used. As a finishing touch, I drizzled maple syrup over the top, but caramel sauce, fresh banana slices or walnuts would work just as deliciously.

Find the banana cupcake recipe here, cream cheese frosting here, caramel buttercream here and the honey-cinnamon frosting here.
