holy sweet stuff!

what is with the rain today? my goodness i really dislike london sometimesss!
but on the plus side, i went outside with my boyfriend and we just ran about in the storm for a while :) but then i got scared i'd die cos i was listening to my ipod and we were on a hill. so that fun ended ratehr quickly. So at the moment i'm at his house, currently wondering when my parents are going to realise i've been missing for the whole day and most of last night o_o (i went exploring at 4am)
WHAT I DID TODAYY:
♥went cantering in the rain
♥made a skirt (pattern soon.)
♥spoke to some WAY COOL DUTCH PEOPLE at the park
♥made cakeees! (see below.)

Today i made cakes and a recipe is coming your way! i don't have a name for them yet, but i used to make these things with strawberries (instead of the jam on the top) and strawberry icing all around, but i had to make to with the items i had in my fridge cos i couldn't be bothered to go shopping, cos sainsburys is a long walk away and my oyster card's not workingg! (:

RECIPEEEE:
175g Butter
175g sugar
175g Self raising flour
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of baking powder
food colouring of your choice
favouring of your choice

i. preheat the oven to 160 degrees
ii. cream the butter and sugar
iii. add the eggs
iv. add the flour and self raising flour, then pour mixture into two greased tins around 8 inches in diameter (or put them in ramekins (greased) or any other kind of shape. experiment!
v. leave them in the oven for about 30 mins (more, if need be, knife will come out clean if they are donee)
vi. leave them to cool, and make icing (i used strawberry flavouring, 150g icing sugar and 50g butter)
vii. slice cakes in half and add icing (and jam if you'd like, or STRAWBERRIES)
put a dollop of jam on top and smother with sprinkles
viii. EEEEAAAAAAATTTT! (take a picture first though. cos it's so good, no?)

They're really really really sweet, so make sure you drink a lot of water throughout the day, use face wash, and (if you're like me) make sure you don't go over your calorie limit! I don't know how many calories are in there but i would say about 400 per cake/muffin thing. I don't want to try it, but sam said it was good, so i'm okay~!
woah i just realised they look like nipples.... ew. OKAY JAM IS OPTIONAL!
