Easter Specials!

Hey everyone! 

How are we all? 

I know the title may put you off a little, Easter posts, on the 10th? I know I know, it's my fault and I need to update more often, I'm not doing bad though! 

I've been a bit busy, what with making a dozen 80th Cupcakes then an 80th Birthday cake and testing some new cupcake recipes out, it's all been a bit hectic. So I'm trying to post ASAP. But! You will be happy to know that after this post we will be (soon) up to date, we are more up to date now with the posts than we we're a bit ago, let's just say that! 

Eee! Just look at those cute little pink and green Easter Eggs inside those cookies!

These are "slice" sugar cookies, there is a word for it but I can't remember it! Basically, it's a Vanilla Sugar cookie recipe, and then halved into colours of your choice and the design you wish to use. The recipe is  by a wonderful woman called Ruth Clemens A.K.A The Pink Whisk, go check out the recipe here ---> The Pink Whisk - Sugar Cookies

Such a great recipe, Ruth truly does have some great recipes and I have used quite a few of hers in the past, go and take a look! She's a bloody star!

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while but didn't really know how too, so I thought I would give it a search and found so many things to do with it on Instagram, such a wonderful place for any kind  of inspiration! 

So I found this incredible woman who makes cookies that just blew me away! I first saw Eugenie Kitchen on Youtube whilst scrolling through different youtubers pages and I was just fascinated by what she has baked! There are tutorials as well which she has kindly filmed and they helped me to create these wonderful Easter Egg themed sugar cookies.

It is based on the Heart cookies above, but I decided to do mine a little different and go for an Easter Egg seeing as it was Easter! I sadly forgot to get the sprinkles though, I will have to remember them next time! 

So here is what the dough looked like before the finished cookies (Top pic!) I Just love the way they look, cute isn't even close! So there you have it, Vanilla sugar cookies with a lovely Easter twist pattern inside. Big thanks to the super ladies and their blogs, make sure you go and check them out!! 

We also made a big batch of triple chocolate brownies! Which was white, dark and milk chocolate, then filled with milk chocolate chunks! As requested by Mr. B! Do love making brownies, do you like making brownies? Have any new recipes you wish to share? Let me know and I'll give them a go! 

Much love, hope you all had a lovely Easter! (Bit late I know! Haha) 

Ooh! Check that out! Brand new signature, we're moving up ladies and gentlemen! 

Back Log Update

Evening everyone!..Or Morning, whichever way you wish to look at it!

Hope you're all okay and had a fab day? We're still in the baking process, so I thought I would do a little blog post (with a little bit of back log, but remember! Not much back log, I did inform you all, do remember that!) 

I should do this more often shouldn't I? More fun and it's still as fun as my book review page, except I'm always baking! Nothing stopping me from popping a post on whilst things bake! 

So without further ado! 

Above on the left we have our Chunky-Dunk Shortbread! Lovely and crunchy on the outside, but soft and buttery on the inside with a sprinkle of sugar, plus there thick slices of shortbread and not thin! Perfect. 

On the right we heave some hearty Nutella muffins, these we're later covered in big helpings of Nutella but I sadly couldn't get a pic quick enough, as they all got eaten! 

Some cute, teeny, tiny flower sugar cookies! Perfect for something to nibble on or a mini snack! It made LOADS! (They we're small though!) 

Here we  have some 'Stained glass' Sugar cookies! I loved making these as a kid and still love making them now! Beautiful to make as decorations for the tree at Christmas or even just to bake and hold up near a window (Like I did, as you can see) Reminded me of my childhood, even though I'm not that old, but you get what I mean! ;)

And that's it for now, well, for this post anyway! I will do another little post, sadly it will be a belated update I'm afraid. But non the less, there will be an update! 

Bake soon, much love, 

Sprinkle, Sparkle and Magic
