White Chocolate Mocha Cupcakes

I am not a huge coffee drinker but I do adore white chocolate mochas (white cafe mochas or whatever they are called in your favourite coffee shop - which I hope is not Starbucks, they don't pay their UK tax!), they taste nice AND give me a caffeine kick, something I find to be a coffee oxymoron. The downside, however, of this fantastic drink is that they are SO expensive at almost three quid a pop it somehow just doesn't seem worth it. I had a go at making one myself at home: 1tsp instant coffee + 1 sachet of options white hot chocolate + milk + hot water + microwave -> something along the lines of 50p perfection. Then it came to me... THE ONLY THING MORE PERFECT THAN A WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA WOULD BE A WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA CUPCAKE REJOICE!


These cupcakes are fab in the morning, the afternoon, for dessert, for a grab and go breakfast, you name your time and I will find you an excuse to eat it there and then! Take one to work/uni/college and grab it when you are craving a white chocolate mocha (drink) to satisfy your sweet tooth and the caffeine gobbler inside you (and save the pennies).

Orange Butterfly Iced Biscuits

The sun is shining in Liverpool again (I probably shouldn't get used to it) so I thought I'd spend the morning making these lovely little fluttery delights! The dough is as delicate as butterflies themselves so needs to be handled with care, other than that they are easy peasy and can be whipped up pronto. (Or it can take you all morning if you are trying to find a no-revision-worthy activity.)
