The Gifts of Christmas: Cupcakes

Yes, yes, we know the wise adage that "tis better to give than to recieve”, but we have to admit that we do love it when the jolly postman delivers festive goodies to our door! These delectible cupcakes were kind gifts from our friends Martha and Lisa at The Primrose Bakery – one of them even custom-iced for our editor, Catherine (and yes, she did snaffle that one herself!).

There were also some deliciously iced cupcakes with glittering snowflakes and festive cheer, courtesy of Baby-Friendly Boltholes, who will be bringing you the very chicest of family breaks and holidays.

Check out our cupcake recipes and get cracking with your own fancy designs. And no, you don't need to send any to us – unless you really want to!
