It was my birthday recently and I received the latest Hummingbird bakery cookery book, Home Sweet Home, from my lovely sister-in-law. It is a lovely book with lots of tempting recipes. The cupcakes looked particularly good.

As said sister-in-law was visiting last week, we thought we’d try out one of the recipes together and here are the results!
