Choc Mint Cupcakes

Ever on the search for dairy-free egg-free desserts for my special boys, I am about to embark on the gingerbread biscuit.  Big Man will be giving them to his friends at preschool and music lessons for Christmas this year.

But, before I do, I thought I'd share these gorgeous Choc Mint Cupcakes that are also dairy-free egg-free (except for the Mint Slice on top, of course).  I perfected them a few months ago and they have become a family favourite since.

Imagine Big Man's joy when I told him he could finally eat the icing!  Priceless!!!

In the Night Garden {1st Birthday Party}

As I'm sure everyone would understand, I'm positively exhausted after the weekend.  After an awesome birthday party for our Little Man on Saturday we spent all of Sunday in the emergency room with him.  He's on the mend now and wearing his "I'm 1" badge everywhere he goes. 

Here are the pics from his party.  Not bad for a first attempt at a dessert table.  I'm pretty pleased with myself.
