The goodbye cupcake

I am missing this now. Ate it all on Friday. I tried to save some for the weekend, but it was too good to be resisted.

For the love of cake

It was my mum's birthday in October, and instead of buying her one cake, I picked up a selection of delicious ones from Patisserie Valerie. I can't really bake since I don't have the patience. BUT - I did successfully cook a batch of brownies one weekend, and have also made basic chocolate cake. I was really proud of the brownies though - in all that excitement I forgot to take photos! 

Here are some Patisserie Valerie's cake photos though. Mum loved them all and the family had fun sharing them. They are quite rich though so would only ever buy them for special occasions and most definitely always for sharing! 

The box!
