Well, I didn't quite around to the tiramisu(ish) cupcakes due to no coffee syrup and I thought that a homemade one might not be quite thick enough soo I've made other delicious things instead and here are some pictures!

The ones here are Hello Kitty vanilla cupcakes with raspberry and vanilla cream filling and peach cupcakes (made with peach puree and peach pieces in the sponge) filled with a blackberry compot and topped with a blackberry too (all blackberries from the garden - the ones the birds have left..).

So, tomorrow's cupcakes are well under way. I'm doing carrot ones for tomorrow using Delia's idea of putting a lovely orange and dark sugar syrup over the top of each cupcake so that it soaks in and makes them lovely and moist.

I'm also doing a flourless chocolate and almond cake which comes out with a texture a bit like a brownie but it's not quite so nervewracking to cook.

And I'm using some of the Hello Kitty cupcake wrappers that my daughter Daisy brought me back from the US - the look soo cute!

Photos of all this yumminess will appear tomorrow :))

Cakes from the stall today - I made the chocolate slightly more glamorous than usual by adding chocolate chips, and crushing Oreos onto the chocolate frosting, adding a segment of chocolate orange and then covering the whole lot with caramel sauce, yum! The ones with a cherry on top are actually blackberry ones using blackberries from our very own garden :) The chocolate and lemon meringue (filled with lovely, sharp lemon curd made with free range eggs) were the most popular today.

A man from a gallery in Cambridge bought a box to display in his gallery so I hope he arranged them nicely! He was going to leave them in the box first of all and just open the lid so people could help themselves but I suggested a plate might make them look more attractive :))

It was cold outside on the market today - a reminder of winter Wednesdays spent shivering and drinking hot tea every half an hour (we usually leave it every 45 minutes in summer).

And now I'm going to have a stall on Sunday too! I can't wait - I've been trying to get onto the Sunday farmers' market for ages and now I've done it, now feel slightly nervous gulp..
