Chocolate Chip Muffins

This is one of my favourite recipes ever, so I thought I would share it with you all!

4 oz butter
4oz sugar
2 eggs
7oz self raising flour
1 packet of chocolate chips

Cream together the butter and sugar, add the egg and mix well. 
Fold in the flour and add the chocolate chips.
Spoon the mixture evenly into 12 cup-cake cases.
Bake in the oven on 180c for 12 minutes

And that's it! They are so simple to make but always taste great :) Also, I hope the photos are ok, because I am using a new camera and I am still trying to get to grips with it! 
I am also trying my best to learn about aperture, shutter speeds and f-stops but it all goes straight over my head. Despite my Mum and Dad both trying to teach me (My Dad is a photographer and my Mum used to have her own business doing black and white printing in dark rooms) I just find it so hard to understand haha! Whilst I'm on the topic of photography I thought I would mention that I am starting at a new college tomorrow, because I didn't really like my other one and I want to change my course but my old college didn't offer the one I have chosen. So I am moving colleges and doing a BTEC (the equivalent to 3 A-levels) in Photography/digital imaging. So hopefully it will be fun, despite me being very nervous about tomorrow.

This way Alice - Tea Party

I have finally got around to posting about my birthday, sorry it has taken so long but I have been really busy setting up for a jewellery stall my friend and I are having at a handmade market.It is tomorrow (Sunday 29th June) and is in the Stockport market hall from 11- 4pm, so if you live near by or know anyone who does make sure to come along and say hello! :)

 

 My birthday presents from friends and family

I thought I would wear my rose head garland as the weather was nice

 My Mum took me to a little garden center for breakfast, it has a really pretty cafe

 Here are all the beautiful cupcakes and treats from my tea party! I decided to have lots of little cupcakes instead of one big cake. I also chose some french fancies and lots of other pretty little biscuits and treats. By the way, food photography isn't really my strong point, but I tried my best hehe! My friend Lily came round and stayed for a sleepover and we scoffed Lindor milk truffles (the little red balls) like there was know tomorrow, but it was my birthday, so why not?
