Chocolate orange cupcakes!

Hey guys 👋🏻

So I haven’t done a recipe post for a while and what better way to start off a new year of baking than with these delights…

….chocolate orange cupcakes.I’ve used a BBC Good Food recipe because they always work out well for me.I slightly modified the recipe to make then orange as the recipe was for just plain chocolate cupcakes.Let’s take a look at the recipe. I’ll leave a link here and then you can see on the recipe below how I modified it.

•100g Plain Flour

•20g Cocoa Powder

•140g Caster Sugar

•1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

•40g Inslated Butter

•120ml milk

•1 egg

•Orange Extract

To decorate:

•Chocolate buttercream flavoured with melted chocolate orange or the orange extract.

•Chocolate orange segments

•Sprinkles

I hope you enjoyed this little recipe. Chocolate orange seems to be everywhere atm (I’m not complaining) so theres plenty of chocolate orange adornments to choose from.

I added sprinkles too because why not!!

I would usually use a piping bag but mine broke last time so I glhas to just spatula it on, so not quite a professional finish but so yummy.

Let me know if you give them a go .

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Blogmas 2019 Day Three: Christmas jumper guide

Festive fashion that doesn’t have to break the bank!

Here’s my guide to some of the best Christmas jumpers that I have seen this year on the high street ans online ….

Primark

‘Santa Claus is coming to town’

It sings.

Need I say anymore??

It’s nice, simple, cute & has beautiful red glittery embroidered writing, and did I mention, IT SINGS.

£12

Primark have a brilliant selection of Christmas jumpers and Christmas T-Shirts this year.

They are definatly worth a look.

Matalan

Fab-Yule-Us

Because who doesnt love a Christmas play on words.

This is one of my favourites this year.

£15

Next

‘Pigs in blankets’

So cute.

£30

‘Pink, high neck Ho, Ho, Ho Jumper.’

Such a lovely colour.

£32

Such a pretty reindeer 🦌

£35

George at Asda

How could j not include a Harry Potter Jumper…

£14

‘Merry & Bright’

£16

This is adorable.

Penguins always look cute on a Christmas jumper 🐧

£16

New Look

Longline Slogan Chrsitmas Jumper

£25.99

This looks super cosy and cute.

I like how you could team this with skinny Jean’s or leggings for a super comfy Christmas outfit.

Asos

Asos Christmas Charity jumper

I love the stylish cream colour of this jumper. The detailing of the colourful embroidered trees is really pretty, nice ans simple but effective. I like how they look like the they are made out of tinsel.

£28

Asos have a lovely selection of Fairisle patterned Christmas jumpers. So much so that I couldn’t choose! They ranged in style, size of the pattern and colour. Definatly worth checking out if you dont want anything too gimicky for a Christmas, something with a little festive feel to it.

Misguided

Rudolph, sequins, pom poms, what’s not to love!?!?

£25

I hope you’ve found this Christmas jumper guide helpful. Get those numpers bought and wear them with pride this December.

Christmas really is the most magical time of the year!!!

22 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

Ho Ho Ho

Bonfire night 🎆✨

I love an excuse for a get together and since I met my husband we have started up a little tradition on bonfire night.

We do usually go to a local fireworks display with our friends, as well, but unfortunately we couldn’t make it this year which was a shame!

But as the 4th was a Sunday and we usually head over to my father in laws for dinner, we were able to at least carry out our other bonfire night tradition.

It wasn’t too cold, just enough to warrant wrapping up and making yourself nice and cosy.

We had our traditional jacket potatoes and hot dogs to eat.

We followed that up with hot chocolate and baked apples, both of which were delicious and super warming.

It was so cosy sitting outside by the light of the tea lights and fires.

So yummy.

Inbetween the food we also had some large, gold sparklers to add to the bonfire night feel.

I love the smell of the fires and sparklers in the crisp, fresh evening air.

Gotta love a sparkler! 🎆🎇✨

& we even managed to finish up the festivities just in time for Doctor Who.

A lovely, cosy family evening. Good food & good company.

I hope you enjoyed your bonfire night celebrations!!

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Happy 1st blogging birthday 🎈

So today marks one year since I started blogging. 8th October 2015.

I was a bit cynical about it to start off with, who cares what I write about? Why bother? But I have really enjoyed talking about important events, my hobbies & favourites in my blog. 

If you follow my blog you’ll know that I started blogging to track the progress of our wedding planning and in 3 days time we’ll have been married for 4 months, it’s crazy how time flies but I’m so glad I have this blog as a memory of the process. I also like talking about things I enjoy and like!

& people do actually read my blog and ‘like’ it which is nice, I don’t do it for this reason but it’s nice all the same 👍

So, why blog?

If you’ve thought about blogging but are unsure, here are a few reasons why you should! 

  • It’s fun! It’s really nice just to write about a day or activity that you’ve really enjoyed or a purchase that your really happy with. You can relive the day again when you read it.
  • Confidence. I was so worried about posting my blog as I was concious of what people would think about what I write, ‘Oh my God how lame’ ‘who cares what she brought in Primark!’ Etc etc  But once you’ve written a few and people view it or follow you, you realise that actually at least you’ve got the guts to put yourself out there and it’s not what others think that matters!
  • It’s free. And you can’t really go wrong with that! I really enjoy sitting down and planning what I’m going to write about, finding the pictures I want to use and any additional information that I’ll need. It’s a hobby in itself really.
  • It makes you think about your writing & coherence. I think this is something that slips once you leave school, if you don’t do a job that involves much writing, but I think once you are writing something you know others will read you take more time and care over it.
  • It keeps you connected. Blogging is a really good way to keep in touch with people and their lives. I realised this when I was writing about the wedding planning. I know that my Auntie & some of Tim’s family who dont live close by followed the blog to see how the planning was going. It’s a nice way for them to be involved even when they are far away! And even when you see people you don’t necessarily have time to mention the little things, so it’s a great way to keep connected and up to date.

If your thinking of starting a blog don’t let anything hold you back! Go for it 👊

Until next time, 

Roseanne 🙂
