This is another one from the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook and I am still not impressed.
The quantities are odd and hard to get right and they give you no guidance on how much dough to include in each cookie.
The first batch were too small and rose instead of spreading. For the second batch, I decided to use more dough and press them down slightly to get a good size cookie. Somewhere in between the two would have been best – a heaped desert spoon pressed to a diameter of 5cm will be about right I think.
They do taste good though and they are a present for my mate Cai. You earnt them! ;-)

so a departure from cupcake making by request.
This is another one from the hummingbird bakery cookbook. I did have to half the cooking time though. I used the blondie recipe but substituted milk for white chocolate.
i haven’t tried one yet but am hoping they taste as good as they look!

I’ve been doing pretty good with visiting cupcake bakeries this week.
I was wandering through soho earlier on the way to cocktails and passed the hummingbird bakery on wardour street.
I couldn’t walk past without going in and found myself buying a red velvet cupcake. very very good.
