Strawberry Raspberry White Chocolate "Ombré" Cupcakes

Pink is always such an under-credited color. How many people do you know who say that pink is their favorite color? There is a stigma around it being a girly color, so all the feminists in the world (so like very girl ever) don't like saying it's their favorite color. And honestly, it's not the most versatile color and can't be used year round or worn everyday, etc.

But you simply cannot deny that it is an incredibly pretty color.

Pistachio Cupcakes with Lemon Frosting

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

Being abroad is an inspiring experience. You're exposed to new places, new sights, new experiences, new beliefs...and new baked goods. Two weeks home now, I continue to be inspired by my time in London. Case in point, this recipe, which was born from an afternoon's wandering around Shoreditch culminating in an impulsive afternoon tea.

In the mood for a sweet afternoon pick-me-up, and after poking my nose into several different cafes, scoping out their dessert counter, I stumbled on a most curious little flavor combination: pistachio lemon loaf cake. My interest piqued, I ordered a slice.

Have you ever had one of those experiences where you encounter two seemingly incongruous things that would never have occurred to you to pair together, but they are you just think, "Of course"? This was that. One bite in and I was totally smitten.

Bakery Review: Primrose Bakery

Yesterday, I made a trip to Primrose Hill to track down another bakery on my list called, fittingly enough, "Primrose Bakery." Because it was so out of the way (two tube transfers and a 15-minute walk through Camden), I decided to make an afternoon of it and do some exploring around the area.

Isn't their logo adorable? I almost didn't want to throw the bag away!
