A marathon week ends with ....

more cupcakes!!!

This week I've walked more than 54 miles according to my pedometer (and leg muscles!) so I thought after another huge walk today, round Greenwich and Blackheath (even though it was pouring with rain, thundering and freezing!) I deserved a little treat so on passing Daisy Cakes and noticing a cabinet stuffed with various cupcake flavours I popped in and bought myself a coconut cupcake and Manny a mocha one.

The last couple of times I've been to Daisy Cakes I was a bit perturbed that they seemed to have changed their frosting recipe..and not for the better, so I'm glad to report that they seem to be back on track! My coconut cupcake was incredibly tasty - the frosting is back to the great stuff I'd become used to from Daisy Cakes and was full of coconut flavour and bits! I'm chuffed that my local cupcake emporium is back to making fantastic cupcakes!!

Not cupcake related but I thought I'd post a pic of the squirrel who crawled up my leg and tugged on my trousers to demand another nut at the park as well - he was ultra cute and kept following me around the flower gardens so I'd give him more nuts!!

A weekend of cupcakes!

This is my last weekend of stuffing my face with cupcakes till my birthday..honest! There has been rather a lot of cupcake eating recently so a couple of weeks off will do me good!

This weekend was rather cupcake-tastic. Saturday after a long walk round Greenwich park, with a stop at the honest sausage for breakfast http://www.honestsausage.com/greatfood.html, (great food but their hot chocolate wasn't hot!!), we popped into Daisy Cakes Bake Shop and they had a couple of flavours we'd not tried so we bought - a bounty, peanut butter, red velvet and chocolate. I'd never tried a red velvet before and it was utterly gorgeous - definately my second favourite after vanilla I think. The peanut butter one was nice but rather heavy for me (it had peanut butter in the batter too!) however Manny managed to finish it off for me after his 2 (the bounty one was lovely and I shall definately be trying it once my self-imposed period of abstinence is over!
