Butter Icing

Is there anything better than baking on a Friday afternoon?

I have been a bit poorly today with an eye infection.  It is difficult to read or look at the computer screen for too long so I wasn't able to study today. At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it, have one red eye to prove it too ;)

So to cheer myself up, I decided to bake cup cakes with butter icing.  I'm sure hubby will be happy too when he gets home from a long day at work.  Love how easy they are to bake and how quickly it all gets done.  The gorgeous blue flowers/snow flakes are from my sweet friend Mandie from whispering Christmas dreams.  She had sent them in my Christmas Box back in October but I hadn't been able to use them yet.  I had a couple on their own whilst decorating & they are yummy. Hope you like the photos.

Hope you all have a fab & cosy weekend,


Lily

  1. Those look yummy, Lily! Butter icing is my favourite. Back when I got married, I requested butter icing on my cake. My grandparents (both retired professional bakers) were aghast, but it was the best cake I could have asked for!

    I sure hope your eye infection clears up soon. My whole family had pink eye in December and it was terrible.
