Traditional with a twist – Cranberry Cardamom Cake

So another Christmas has come and sprinkled its magic over all of us. Like many of you this is one of my favorite times of the year. There is just something about Christmas that chases away my inner Scrooge and makes the world seem better somehow. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and pray that 2017 is a better, bolder, brighter year for you!

Now let’s talk about baking. As I had mentioned in a previous post, my baking hat was reluctantly put away due to expanding waistlines and non-existent willpowers.

But it is Christmas. And what is Christmas without the smell of freshly baked goodies perfuming the air? And so I went on a baking spree. And what a mad spree it was (insert evil laughter soundtrack).

I bake. What’s your superpower? (Guava Spiced Cupcakes)

Have you ever read my About page? I encourage you to swing by there if you haven’t simply because:

A) It is a work of sheer genius that needs to have the spotlight shone on it every now and again.

B) It is a pretty accurate snapshot of who I am – a brilliantly witty, talented and not to mention modest individual.

c) Neither A nor B is true but I still want you to read it so go take a look by clicking here.

One of the things I mention on that page is that I am a baker. I should probably update that page to read I WAS a baker. I hung up my chef’s hat when I realized that all my baking was causing hubby dearest to grow horizontally rather than vertically.
