(There’s poppy seeds in there too – HELlo – but that would make the title even longer than it already is). The loaf cake started out as an idea for a flavour pairing whilst I was drinking a cup of Earl Grey. It has always been my favourite tea – there’s something so dreamy about the aroma, exuding calmness and comfort. As it has a bunch of flavours going on in it too, it makes an ideal tea for infusing into foods, too! Hooray! At first I tried straight up throwing tea leaves into the batter – it didn’t really do much though. I decided to not give up on the cake, and tried another round of lets-try-to-get-tea-into-my-cake.

Devil’s Mini-Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting. I made these little cakes for my son’s school birthday party. We’d been arguing for a while if they should (or should not) have colored sprinkles on their tops. Tim kept saying that the sprinkles could significantly increase the cupcakes’ popularity.
