IN THE BEGINNING

I think my love of baking like so many others stemmed from watching my granny and mam bake when i was very young. whenever we went to stay with my "Nanos" without fail id have convinced her to let me help her make her famous apple tart. My grandad "Jackie" had the softess spot for anything sweet and homemade, when ever they came to stay with us down the country for weeks on end, my mam would have baked enough to feed a small army. she'd have made apple tarts with freshly picked apples and blackcurrants from our own gardens and the niceset orange and fruit cake ive ever come across. its funny how food can transport you back to a certain time and place in your life, and thats why i love to bake because of that very sentiment it makes people nostalgic and lets them step back from their hectic lives.....
Thats where cupcakes come in to my life, i think they bring out the inner tea party in every one just like rice crispy buns brings out the "kid" in us alL. they are a little piece of heaven without breaking the bank or better yet without making you feel like youve jumped off the diet band wagon.

My first blog!!!!

Wondering where to begin or better yet how to begin iv pondered for a few months excited at the thought of starting my blog. My Facebook is up and running almost a year and the website is growing day by day so it's only natural that I enter the world of blogging.

Today I'm writing about the best oven cleaner I have come across, no need to take a second glance at the heading of my page this is all about my journeys and love of baking cupcakes and everything a sweet tooth craves but cleanliness is big in my book so before I welcome any one to pop their apron on get to the shops and buy OVEN PRIDE, now iv tried a few of these oven cleaners before but to be honest they didn't float my boat. So I got home emptied my oven of the grill tray and three oven racks and popped them in the giant bag provided it told me to put in maximum two racks but naughty me popped the lot in....it then tells you to pour in 3/4 of the bottle into the bag seal it and swirl it round and round so I did, and almost immediately the clear solution became grimey naturally I was impressed. With there remaining liquid in the bottle it tells you to pour into your oven and spread it out covering all areas, and let to you there was plenty left to cover the grill and oven....so now you pop the kettle on and have a cup of tea and get on with your evening come back in a few hours a BAM your oven, trays and racks are spotless!!!!
