Cupcake Cure

We hope you’ve been keeping up with all the awesomeness that is the Prudent Baby Summer of Fanciful Treats (sponsored by us - Bake It Pretty), but just in case you missed anything, here are a few awesome tips and recipes from the lovely ladies over at Prudent Baby.

“Evil” buttercream decorator icing – want icing that defies gravity? You may have to sell your soul to the devil. Okay not really, but health food freaks, avert your eyes! Grab the recipe and some icing tips here.

DIY sugar cookie cone – Okay so it looks a little labor intensive, but the payoff, WOW! These are so gorgeous, and I could see so many possibilities for them. Little pumpkins and ghosties at Halloween, cute packages and bells for Christmas… get the tutorial for the sugar cookie cones here.

4th of July jelly bean pods – The 4th has come and gone, but these are cheap, easy and adorable party favors that would work for any old time! Swap out colors to create a new theme! Find the tutorial for jelly bean pods here.

Once again, just a short and sweet post about yet another scrummy place. I love my eggs. I never used to as a kid, they made me feel ill – like nauseous I’m-gonna-be-sick type of ill. But now, it’s a completely different story. I love it. LOVE. And when I need an egg-fix, if I’m lazy to fix myself breakfast, I normally head to The Breakfast Club which is only like a 5 minute walk from me.

Maybe it’s the sun, or maybe it’s the need to sit outside facing the roads like cafés in Paris, which drew me to this quaint little café in Shoreditch. Not a big menu, not much variety. And served by a lanky freakishly tall dude who looks about twelve. Nice, huh. But the eggs were delicious. The toast, on the other hand, I’m a bit hesitant about. It was certainly good bread but over-toasted and it threatened to rip my mouth apart or break my teeth. Fail.

Nevertheless, lemme stress this again. Eggs = good.

The combination of eggs fried in truckloads of good olive oil, generously seasoned with cracked sea salt and lots of black pepper plus crisp sage leaves on each yolk eager to be dampened by creamy yolk when you break the membrane? Heaven.

Enough said.
