Christmas!!!

My Christmas 2011
Ok so I may be pennyless and it will probably take me until february to pay off my overdraft but nevermind. I had a really nice Christmas time. My family came to visit me in early december so I got to see my Mum, my little brother Connor and my sister Catherine. I loved buying all the presents and wrapping them all in my lush wrap. My friend Simon got a taste for my baking after he polished off the leftovers from Halloween so for his present this year I decided to make him some Christmas cupcakes.
Theres nothing more Christmassy than booze so I decided to make him my tried and tested Amaretto cupcakes. They are super tasty and are made with amaretto (obv) and almonds.
After that I iced them in with rich red butter icing using a piping bag and decorated with white flowers. I then wrapped them in Christmas tissue paper and placed them in a box that I'd kept from last year. i finished it off with a few ribbons and it was a present fit for a king!
So proud. And Simon loved them!
