Happiness is . . .

52 Weeks of Happy

{ Linking up with Jen at Little Birdie.}

Week 3:

I've had this on my wish list for ages, and finally I could resist no longer.

 
Wasn't he sweet to stay still long enough for me to get my camera out and my gloves off so I could take his picture?


Peanut butter frosting on dark chocolate cupcakes - recipe courtesy of Hazel at Cupcakery.
 Hop over for a peek at her lovely blog, and DO try these cupcakes - they are oh-so-delicious.


Need I say more ?


Have a happy weekend,
xoxo

    The wee robin looks fab. As do the cakes but my daughter is allergic to peanuts so no peanut butter in our house. :o)

    I love the look of those cupcakes ... I can't partake though as my little boy is allergic to nuts ... might give them a go with a different topping ... and your little robin friend is lovely ... enjoy your weekend lovely ... Bee xx

      Oops, keep them well away from little fingers then! The cupcake recipe is lovely and would be just as yummy with a different frosting - do give them a try.
      Hope you had a lovely weekend,

      If you like PB, you will love the frosting. It's just PB with butter and icing sugar to sweeten it up... yum!
      Convinced yet? :-)
