My recent trip to New York gave me the chance to do one of the things I really love: take pictures of food! Why doesn’t food in London look the way it does in America? Why don’t we have bakeries on every corner? Why can’t we have 3 hour boozy Sunday brunches? Why don’t we have whipped butter? Whipped butter is amazing!
Whipped butter aside (because whipped butter doesn’t make for very good pictures) have a gawk at this lot…
Earl Grey tea + Bloody Mary + “Farmer’s breakfast” = a good brunch @ The Cornelia Street Cafe.
A right pair of (fruit) tarts
A plum in plum flavoured Jelly… maybe I’ll just have a Creme Egg.
I need these cupcake cases
I was inspired by this edible overload to do a bit of baking this weekend which resulted in a batch of “vanilla vanilla” cupcakes, with a twist. Pink sponge! Unfortunately, over-enthusiastic consumption (by friends! Not me!)has ensure that no photographic evidence remains. I took it as a compliment.

I’m drooling. this looks much better than boiled goats meat, chapatis and rice.
I hope yours and Mrs balkwill’s cupcake making abilities have been perfected – i’m eager to act as guinea pig and judge.
