Hi all - when you read this I will hopefully be relaxing in the sunshine with a good book or walking along the beach in Byron Bay. I'm on my "baby moon" with hubby at the moment enjoying one last time away before bub is born in August.
However I couldn't leave you in the lurch with nothing to drool over for a tuesday. So I have decided to re-post one of my most popular recipes - Chai Cupcakes. These little babies are just delicious and the aroma when they're baking is tantalizing.
You can read my original post about them on my old blog called The Simply Teashop Blog.
