Introducing Korky...

...but before I do, and to keep the suspense up a little, here are my first batch of cupcakes in honour of National Cupcake Week.

These are Coffee Cupcakes. They are made using the basic cupcake mixture with 2 tsp of Camp Coffee Essence added. The buttercream icing also has another 2 tsp of the Coffee Essence in it.

I'm planning on making several more batches of cupcakes for the BBQ we are having on Friday. 

Moving on to Korky.

I mentioned last week that Calum (7) was patiently waiting for me to finish the crochet toy. He had already named it Korky before it was assembled. Those who guessed it might be a teddy were close enough. Without his features it wasn't really possible to distinguish him as.....

.....a Koala!

He has little dungarees, which cross over at the back,

and when it gets a bit chilly he can wear his wee scarf,

Korky and Calum are currently snuggled up and fast asleep.
