This is the first recipe I made from Matt Armendariz’s On a Stick! Read my review of the book here. In the book the recipe is for lollipops that fizz when dipped into a special mixture but since I decided to make these at the spur of the moment I didn’t have any citric acid.

Columbia Road Flower Market & Cupcakes

I went to Columbia Road Flower Market for the first time last Sunday and I can’t believe that I’ve waited this long (shameful as I live in the same Borough as the market). If you’re in London it’s worth a visit. The flowers are beautiful and you can get a glimpse of a real East London Cockney trader. There are also plenty of cupcakes! It was much easier to get to than I’d anticipated. There is an Overground Station nearby but I was able to get the bus from Canary Wharf to Liverpool Street and then walked to the market.

Cake decorating has never been my forte. I have a shaky hand and no artistic vision (sadly). I’m an accountant so I’m much better with numbers and figures!

Cocotte Baked Apples

I bought these cute mini cocotte dishes at a Le Creuset outlet in Arizona. I saw the cookbook dedicated to using the cocotte dish and the purple dishes next to it and before I knew it I was outside the store with my bag. Total impulse purchase and almost blackout shopping! I grabbed everything and paid before I could stop myself!
