I've only had this book for a couple of days and decided the first thing I'd make would be cake!

I love baking, but haven't baked cake for ages. As my DH was telling Frozzie and Karen at dinner at the Adelaide retreat - he doesn't ALLOW me to make cake, which after I gave him the death stare, he changed to I asked my darling wife not to make any of her delicious cake for awhile (as he is going to the gym, eating healthy and losing weight).

Zucchini cupcakes have to be healthy surely!

The cupcakes were easy to make. I left out the pecans and added sultanas instead (as my DH can't have nuts).

The cream cheese icing was also easy to make. I used light cream cheese, meaning my icing was probably softer than it should have been. It didn't matter though.

Judy called in for afternoon tea and we all agreed they tasted lovely.

That's it, I am sending for the book today. They sound really yum Katie and Judy. They must be healthy if they have zucchini in.

I made this icing today to put on a banana cake. It was really quick and easy to make, and I like the fact that it is much lower in sugar than other recipes. It's not very sweet and the lemon flavour is quite prominent.
I'll definitely make it again.
