Toffee Cupcakes and Ginger Hot Chocolate

Location: McKechnie's Cafe, Stratford-upon-Avon

Date: Monday 9 March 2009

Details: Hot Milk and Hot Chocolate, both with Gingerbread Syrup, and Toffee Cupcakes

Notes:

Celebratory hot drinks and cupcakes for Kiz's birthday. These cupcakes look incredibly professional - and that's because they are. Kiz bought them at a bakery in Tewkesbury to share with her students and the staff at Foxford School where she is directing a musical. (Not McKechnie's produce I'm afraid. Naughty.)

As one of Kiz's 30-Things-To-Do-For-Her-Thirtieth, she's listed "Have Ginger Hot Chocolate with Sooze at McKechnie's" so here we are ticking it off the list.

Lovely hot milk for me with the same 'Gingerbread' syrup, and the cupcakes were perfect - sickly sweet fat layer of icing and a fluffy toffee-flavoured cake.
