So, to discover that I only had 10 cupcake cases left was quite exciting. Even though I know that I have baked a lot of cakes in the past month, and I have kept a record of every single one, to tangibly see that I had ploughed through my ample supply of cupcake cases was a fresh reminder of what I have achieved this Summer.
You can see from the photos that chocolate featured highly in my baking, but just to give a rundown of all of the flavours I have baked, here's a little list:

It has brought me a lot of joy to bake cakes for so many people, and to make some wonderful, unexpected connections as a result. Here's to a future filled with baking many more cakes! Later in the week, I will be sharing a bit more of the story behind my love of baking.
