Beautiful recipe. I made them last night and all 12 were eaten straight away by my family. I just added a tea spoon of vanilla extract into my cake mixture as I love vanilla. I've got a really sweet tooth so I added extra icing sugar into the cream cheese. I also made my own marzipan carrots to put on top. To do this I added orange natural food dye into marzipan and rolled it out into carrot shapes. To make the leaves on the top of the carrots I used Green colouring in some more Marzipan and added them to the top of the carrots. I want to thank you for this recipe. I'm not keen on nuts so it was nice to find a recipe without the nuts in the mixture. I used low fat Philadelphia soft cheese for the cream cheese. I also used silicone cupcake cases as they are good for the enviromnment as they can be re-used again :)

I get just what you mean , being alive these days seems all together then it was back in the old days . I am sure that our grand parents didn't concern themselves with this , technology as we know it from many angles helps change things for both the good and the bad. Reckon I have an old school point of view , however I recall when a hard days work was the norm . A hand shake would get you a loan, you could trust if your kids were outside by themselves they were safe , and things were not as costly. I suppose prices are always going to increase , but you know I don't know why how come we can't return to the days when neighbors really cared about each other and actually knew each others names. I suppose that is a thing of the past , but hey, its a great day to be alive , so I suppose I otta just keep moving forward.

With all the doggone snow we have gotten recently I am stuck indoors, fortunately there is the internet, thanks for giving me something to do. :)

I was just talking with my friend about this last week at Outback steak house. Don't know how we landed on the subject actually , they brought it up. I do recall having a wonderful fruit salad with sunflower seeds on it. I digress...

How is 7% fibre content ...high in fibre? and 10% of RDA for sugar at breakfast healthy...who are the marketing people trying to kid...and btw no-one in the house will eat them they're disgusting...just gone into some rocky road mix...lol all they are good for!

My son has (so far) managed to eat his way through one and a half packets of this stuff, so I thought perhaps I should give it a go. Jeepers, but I thought it was truly disgusting. Hard, not crunchy, dull flavour instead of chocolatey and took for EVER to eat. They are saying it's healthier - well it is for me, as I won't be bothering with it again! LOL

I'll have a look out for this cereal! :)

I was just doing some web browsing on my Blackberry during my break at work , and I happened across something I thought was intriguing. It linked over to your site so I jumped over. I can't really find the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good none the less .

found your site on del.icio.us today and really liked it. i bookmarked it and will be back to check it out some more later

Great post. I will read your posts frequently. Added you to the RSS reader.

Ordinarily I love finding delicious food around,and always can't help wanting to have some food.It becomes my hobby gradually.How many gourmet food can we taste during all the lifetime?Look forward.

This looks and sounds delicious. Will be interesting trying baking with duck eggs as I have a ready supply of hen eggs from my 5 girls in the back garden (so haven't bought eggs for over a year). Banana and apple jam? YUM!

Merci!

Merci!

Excellent, honest review. I've eaten here, and would wholeheartedly concur!

Aww I agree with Richard, food made with love always tastes better :D This looks like a wonderful course!

Of course your blog was excellent becuase you were so nice to me! I am really glad you had a good time. We always try and have fun in the kitchen with our courses, when you cook with a glad heart it effects your food and improves it.

Thanks again and see you soon.

A great looking sponge - love the buttery, eggy yellow. I always use duck eggs for preference in cakes, but as they are really popular I'm often too late to get hold of them at our local organic shop.

Many thanks for your kind comments, it is the only way that I make sponges and cupcakes now, it is so easy.

I used to keep ducks and have fond memories of using their eggs for great cakes. Yours looks fabulous! I use the weigh the eggs method too - especially with home laid eggs which can be odd sizes.
