Trip to England (and cupcakes of course!)

I have just returned from an overseas trip to England. In between visiting family and sightseeing, I managed to fit in some quality cupcake time! First was a special one, I treated myself to a cupcake from Rick Stein's Patisserie in his home town of Padstow. A lovely lemony cake topped with cream cheese and raspberry icing! Just divine!

Next was probably the most satisfying cupcake experience of my life! A white chocolate and raspberry cupcake from Marks & Spencers! It was soooo good! Yummy soft vanilla cake scattered with tiny white choc chips, an oozing blob of raspberry jam in the middle, all topped with a divine raspberry buttercream icing. It was so balanced, so perfect! I am looking forward to making some (well.... to the best of my ability! very soon - stay tuned!)
