Hey Sophie, these sound really good, especially the butter cream icing. I don't think I've ever had it, but I love butter and I love icing sugar so it sounds like a perfect combo.
ReplyDeleteHi Sophie, They look amazing. I bet they got eaten really quickly.
ReplyDeleteHave you been doing lots of baking? Or maybe you’ve made dinner .Lots of people seem to have got into baking so that’s one good thing that’s happened while we are all home.
