Banoffee Pie Cupcakes

Now I know that this recipe is more for people with a sweet tooth, but when I saw this recipe in an Easy Cupcakes Cookbook that I got for Christmas, and I thought oh my god I have to make this because Banoffee Pie is my number one favourite thing in the world. Anyway, here is the recipe for Banoffee Pie Cupcakes.

This recipe makes 4 Banoffee Pie Cupcakes.

You will need cups or dishes instead of cupcake cases.

My First Post

My name is Tori Haynes, and I love cooking and baking. I think that it is great fun, and you produce tasty treats at the end of it that you can share with friends and family.

Most weeks, I go to my aunties and bake something different each week. I have made things like lemon drizzle cake, banoffee pie, cheese and bacon twists, and gingerbread men, using simple, easy recipes.

Doing this was actually a new years resolution. Someone one day, said to me 'What will your new years resolution be Tori?' and I thought about it long and hard and said 'I don't know' so they asked me what my hobbies were and I told them that I quite liked cooking, and they then suggested that I should make a food blog, and review what I make and write the recipes and post pictures of the finished product. so I said ok and that's how this started, and I quite liked the idea because it was something creative and something that I could be proud of the end result, like cooking.

I hope you like my blog and that you keep on reading it when I have more posts.
