Whoopies

(Butterscotch and redvelvet whoopies, Harrods, London)

Ever had a whoopie? I hadn't but standing in front of Harrod's patisserie with a exceptional selection i drew a blank. What would be most tasty for me and the boyfriend to snack on, for the train home? Do i go for something i know or these colouful sweet looking treats?

After eating them i still don't quite know what they are i would say similar to a butterfly cake, or a cupcake with twice the icing, but with a heavier cake. Either way i thought i was buying a macaroon.

Can honestly say they are the sweetest thing i have ever experienced.

One bite in and i felt like i was on Man Vs Food..... the food won.

Tea

( Milly enjoying some Yorkshire tea)

Pretty much everyone i know enjoys sitting down with a good cuppa. Lots of people tend to have their favourite type of tea perhaps more based on habit. I personally feel its down to the water its made from as much as the tea.

I used to swear by Yorkshire tea, then i moved house and it was suddenly more woody than i liked.

At the moment my top five preferences would be

1. PG Tips (sadly i only started drinking this because of the free monkey)

2. Marks and Spencers Gold Label

3. Punjana ( reminds me of home =super comforting)

4. Mr Scruffs (delicious but expensive)

5. Clipper

What sort of tea is everyone drinking? Is there an in type in missing out on?

Cupcakes Nomnomnom!

Strawberry Cupcake, Candy Cakes, Carnaby Street, (Took 3 sittings to eat!)

I have an obsession with tea and cupcakes, i love tea and i love the prettiness of cupcakes. I have always wanted my own tea shop, so i guess its more research than indulgence.

I have come to realise that to find a good cuppa is hard but the perfect cupcake is even harder.

I have put together my top picks, including a rather embarrassing attempt i made for a charity event at work.

My version of Jamie Olivers easy Raspberry cupcakes (Not so delicious)

Peanutbutter cupcake, Sweet tooth Cupcakery, Northern Quarter Manchester (Yummy)

Coffee cupcake and Peanut Butter, Ella's Bakehouse, Covent Garden, (My favourite)
