Cake!

Now Sean is a gentleman of leisure, he has taken up cooking me muffins daily from the muffin cookbook he bought me for my birthday. As such I now have a personal muffin chef!

Here's a summary of the delights I've had this week:

Monday: Glazed Passionfruit Muffins



Glazed Passionfruit Muffins

The inaugural muffin. These were delicious straight from the oven, they were really fluffy and delicately flavoured with passionfruit. One slight downside was that the seeds were a bit crunchy, but still very good overall.

Tuesday: Best Blueberry Muffins



Best Blueberry Muffins

The "Best" is the title of these muffins in the muffin book, but they were in fact the best blueberry muffins I'd ever had. I think this was due to the addition of a small amount of cinnamon. They were nice warm from the oven but even nicer once they had cooled down.

Wednesday: Gooey-Chewy Fudge Squares



Gooey-Chewy Fudge Squares

In the photo in the book, these looked like they had a kind of caramel topping, so it was a surprise to find out that they had almost 200g of chocolate in them. Ours also looked like they did so we think that maybe the people in the book used the wrong photo.

These were really lovely, much richer than any of the muffins, but I still didn't feel too ill when I ate most of the batch on Wednesday night.

Thursday: Zucchini and Parmesan Muffins



Zucchini and Parmesan Muffins

I thought I'd better try some of the delicious looking savoury muffins. These were fantastic; Sean said they tasted a bit like cheese breadsticks. I think this was the first day we ate the whole batch in a single day.

Friday: Pizza Muffins and Coconut, Cherry and Cream Cheese Muffins



Pizza Muffins



Coconut, Cherry and Cream Cheese Muffin

We had two batches of muffins today as Carrie and Daniel have come to stay with us. Both fantastic as usual (the pizza ones were a particular success). Sean's also started another batch of Gooey-chewy fudge squares for tomorrow. What a guy!!
