SWEET BAKED CHOCOLATE LOVE CUPCAKES @INA'S GARDEN

If u think my creativity begins and ends with hearts , ur right , most of the times it does:-)
I mean the pink and hearts lover in me , more often than not cant see beyond hearts and pink.
After all aint i the one who floats on air as i walk , all the while seeing pink hearts popping around me and some violin or piano belting some love songs all along....whewwwww...

VANILLA CINNAMON HEARTY KISS "SQUARES"

The fragrance of Cinnamon with Vanilla is addictive , something u always want ur kitchens and homes to smell of.

I for one totally lovee having freshly grated cinnamon with my coffee everyday , a coffee aint exaclty to ''wake'' me up , its more for me to enjoy and love , and whenever i am baking i always brew some coffee, yeah and i have a new fav too:-) and something to keep the coffee warm ,but saving that for another post , ie the Loving this week posts which i so plan to post with a linky every wednesday/thursday!

Hope i do!

Back to these bars , they are chosen by my very dear pal Chaya , for thi weeks Bake @ Baking with Dorie , a small group , started by Grapefruit ,we are baking our way thru Baking from my home to urs...twice a month and with barely any rules.

Makes for a relaxed baking and posting, which is always an incentive!

I cannot resist baking hearts and i did so with these too :-), they are absolutely lovely with coffee or as a midnight snack...

Hearts of all sizes , with a dark chocolate Nutella topping....

I had a little disaster , that turned into a delicious treat , look below for details and pics:-)

A COFFEE BREAK WITH MUFFINS & CHERRY NUTELLA SWIRLS

Light and airy , and so very easy .....Oh Muffins these are ...Coffee break Muffins in a little coffee cup +minis....

Out of the oven , warm , with a nice smear of Nutella and topped with a cranberry and Macadamia and a sprinkle of cinnamon , these were jus in time for the coffee break.

OR maybe a Cinnamon Sprinkled Kiss...

Ok ok , i know u want both , i take both too...

Or maybe i want them ALL...

I am loving the muffin chapter in Baking w Dorie and GrapeFruit , the founder of this wonderful group , did better , by choosing this wonderful muffin.

These were good , right outa the oven , warm and fresh , jus right for ur coffee...Oh coffee..

That they come together really fast is another plus point...

 And here is a little Baby Muffin, all chocolaty and Pink..

Kisses and Muffins and Nutella....love the thought..

VERY VANILLA ONE BOWL{v} BUTTER CAKE @ DONNA HAY

 It already feels like Christmas and its Christmas Time again , in the kitchens and homes of Bright Morning Star , so u'll see a lotta reds , whites and greens here , sprinkled with hearts and Santas ....
And love.....

 Ofcourse Snowman will be there too.

Christmas times are also times of bakes and cakes and hot chocolate and Marshmallows...

And i want to begin with a very quick and simple Vanilla butter cake , yeah with lods of vanilla everywhere, coz all good things begin with butter.

And to make things even better , i came up with this really wonderful salted butter glaze with a caramel or two , which is poured over the warm cakes and it soaks in for a beautiful flavor and delicious crust .
