A Little Slice of Heaven is my escape from being a full-time mum and an excuse to indulge my sweet tooth (someone’s got to lick the bowl after all!). Now that my kids are both in school, I have more time to do something of my own and baking cupcakes, cookies, and other cakes that take my fancy is IT.

My love affair with baked treats started when I was little. Ovens were pretty rare where I grew up, but my aunt was lucky enough to have a small tabletop oven. I was a very willing helper and was an even more willing taste-tester. Since then, I have grabbed every opportunity to bake and learn more cake decorating techniques.

There is nothing like the sweet smell of butter and sugar creaming together in my Kitchen Aid, or the scent of freshly baked cupcakes and cookies wafting through the house – that’s when the kids run in hoping for crumbs.

These are some of the cupcakes and cookies that I have made.
