Salted caramel cupcakes with a salted caramel buttercream
As some of you may know I am obsessed with everything salted caramel but I have never made it myself, so I decided I would give it a go! I love the Cupcake Jemma Youtube channel and she made some delicious cupcakes on her site so I decided to use her recipe for both the […]
The ultimate sticky toffee pudding
