I'm going to be honest with you (not that I'm not usually). I'm not really one of those bakers who measures out everything first in pretty bowls and cups so that everything can be added nicely.

I've been holding off doing this post until I actually have bought a handbag. (Shocked that I don't own a handbag? It's a long story...)

When it comes to afternoon teas with friends or family I will never turn one down. It's a chance to get together and talk and most of the time, a chance for me to bake some sweet treats! Today I made these delicious Gingerbread cupcakes with lemon icing which could be one of my all-time favourite recipes. I know that there are people out there that...
