A weekend in baking

A while ago these cupcakes caused my husband to send me a text that simply said:

Mum completely turned mom!

So, this weekend he found the following baking extravaganza very entertaining…

We were going to friends for a barbecue last night, to celebrate a birthday and Norwegian Constitution Day (the National Day of Norway, celebrated on 17 May – you learn something new every day!).

As is my way now, I decided to take some cupcakes with me. I wanted these to have a Norwegian theme… But, just making red, white and blue cupcakes (which is what I did!) seemed a little boring, so I thought I’d make some Norwegian flag biscuits as well! Despite my husband thinking I was mad to spend so much time decorating biscuits that were just going to be eaten, they were much appreciated by our Norwegian host! And, for the record, I thoroughly enjoyed the decorating bit :)

When I made the cupcakes I also made a single layer of cake for us to have at home. When he saw this, the 4yo asked if I could make a rainbow… So, I did!

All in all, a very fun weekend of baking!
