Red velvet cupcakes

So well it's a special day today, not only is it mine and my boyfriends 3 year anniversary but it's also my blogs 1st birthday!

So as a special treat and a romantic gesture for Glen I made some red velvet cupcakes to celebrate. I'm a terrible baker and normally everything I bake comes out black and not so edible but this recipe is so easy even i can successfully make them! These cupcakes are perfect for valentine's day and i can't wait to make more of them and give them out to my loved ones. 

I found the recipe here from an english cook called Gizzi Erskine {tipped to be the new nigella} check her website out. I can't wait till her book comes out in March, everything she makes looks so delicious!

cupcakes!

excuse the no make up and bad hair!

so in case you haven't noticed {from all my moaning!} glen has been working a lot recently - on a new film called the kid {based on a true story}. he's really enjoying it and it sounds like it will be amazing when it's finished. i'm so proud of him but i miss him so much when he's working.

anyhooooooo, the other night after i had a horrid day, glen brings me back a cupcake from work. which i like to add was made by Keira Knightley {it was wheat free and yummy!}. i'm a huge fan of hers -okay she was pretty bad in pirates of the Caribbean, but... what an amazing performance she pulled off in Atonement.
