Musings and Butterfly Cupcakes

These little butterfly cupcakes were one of my favorites when I was little easy to make and they really do look like butterflies. I added a little tea to the butter icing and decorated with licorice. I also like them as years ago as a student one of my neighbors said I was like a butterfly. I have been battling with comparison recently, comparing myself to other bloggers, dietitians and so fo

She is a lovely lady and now after being married nearly ten years and meeting quite a few times with my not so good Tamil and her English we manage to communicate. She's
