Earl Grey Tea Cupcakes
MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE. (I do have a million absolute-favourites though) This recipe definitely takes the cake (see what I did there?). I never knew there was going to be a better type of cupcake than Red Velvet. Yes, I’m a classic RV sucker, and yes, I know that it’s just red colouring but who cares?!

I won’t lie and say that it has been a busy period, but I will admit that I have definitely been procrastinating as I experienced the Christmas / New Year snooze.

The filling was an experiment that was very…
