Let's Bake!

I've had a hankering for a while to do some baking. Not sure why, I just have. 

Probably all the ridiculous inspiration that comes by way of the world wide web and wonderful world of blogging. 

Take a look...

A perfect rundown of the essentials (from the beginner to the novice) - you're going to want need everything on this list!

I'm thinking I'm in the mood for cupcakes...hmmm

ps - Here's a cake I made spur of the moment for a friend's birthday gathering and yes that is a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream - what else are you going to drink with chocolate cake? 

Here's the recipe, I literally just Googled 'easy chocolate cake' and then made a frosting and threw sprinkles on top - that's the secret by the way, sprinkles makes everything & anything look amazing!
