The other day my mother in law who is a great cook herself, gave me this recipe book to have a look through ( Cupcake Heaven ) and boy is it a good book! there is loads of quirky recipes in it so its right up my alley.
So today I had a bit of time up my sleeve so i asked my hubby what kind of cupcakes he would like and he decided on this beauty I was quite impressed with this recipe as it was very easy just to throw it all in and they cooked beautifully in the oven, great for someone who doesn't have alot of time ... like me hehehe
