1. We had a work potluck so I got to bake a billion cupcakes:
The yellow ones are Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme Cake mix with Lemon Buttercream Frosting
The pink ones are Duncan Hines Confetti Cake Mix with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting, I used the same recipe as the Lemon Frosting, but omitted the lemony things and added vanilla instead.
They were a hit at work!
2. Kevin's parents came over for "Tea and Cake" - being of English background I am VERY familiar with both tea and cake... I made Kevin's favorite, Banana nut muffins:
I have the recipe hand written on a piece of paper, and I have used it since I moved from home, so don't ask me where it came from originally... Here it is:
***
Banana Nut Muffins
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
2 large crushed old bananas
1/2 cup buttermilk or heavy whip cream
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/2 cup quick oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (if desired)
1 cup chocolate chips (if desired)
Instructions: Mix first 6 ingredients then add in remaining ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60mins if in cake form or 20-30mins for 12 muffins.

I also made a Lemon Cake
mmmmm... who doesn't love a nice cup of tea with a side of Lemon cake? This cake is a little dryer than expected, but it goes great with tea or coffee.
Happy Baking!
