Original Oreo cupcakes

By -
Hey guys,
These are my original recipe Oreo cupcakes and I'd like to show you lot how to make them so here we go! You will need to start out by gathering the following ingredients:
  • 2 packets of Oreos (any flavour)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 110 g plain flour
  • 110 g caster sugar
  • 310 g butter, softened
  • 50g cocoa powder
  • 100g icing sugar
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/ 350F / Gas 4 and place about 18 cupcake cases on a baking tray. Next fill them with 1 whole Oreo each.

2. Put 110g of the butter and the caster sugar in a bowl and beat until pale and fluffy. Next sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl. Beat the eggs and vanilla and add to the bowl. Beat until just combined. Now, add 30g of the cocoa powder and mix it all together.

3. Spoon generous amounts of the mixture into the cupcake cases on top of the Oreos and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes. (When you take them out of the oven allow them to cool for 20 minutes)

4. Take 5 Oreos and crush them up, I did this by putting them in a bowl and smashing the with the end of a rolling pin however you can also put them in a freezer bag and hit them. As long as they end up in little bite size pieces all is good.

5. Mix together the remaining butter, cocoa powder and icing sugar, beat until it forms a smooth thick buttercream icing. Put the buttercream on top of the cakes and sprinkle with crushed Oreo chunks for a chocolatey masterpiece!!!

I hope you enjoy making my Oreo cupcakes and send me picture of them on Instagram using the hashtag #ashesoreos I look forward to seeing them!!!

Have a great day guys!

Holiday Havoc

Everyone loves a good holiday. A break from it all with your friends or family, but we also have the frustration of packing. Now if you've ever packed for a holiday then you'll know just how daunting a task it is. All of a sudden you've gone from being a normal person to a Tetris master, a weather man and you're prepared for a zombie apocalypse! Lets start with the first issue, usually you'd be the kind of person that would overload draws when tidying and half the contents of your wardrobe on your floor but when going on holiday you simply can't do that. All of a sudden you have 1 suitcase that needs to contain enough clothes to last you 2 weeks! Sure that doesn't sound too hard but then you realise that little black dress that you love would be perfect for a meal out but not necessarily a day at the beach. There's now 2 outfits for one day, not to mention that the weather can be so unpredictable that shorts and a short aren't always a safe opti

10 things to do with your best friend

Well hello there guys. So I met up with my best friend Tairrie the other day and we had a proper day where it was just me and her taking pictures and having fun and ever since we started college in September that has been quite rare for us. So I thought I'd compile a list of 10 things you can do with your BFF.  1. Sleepover - Who doesn't love a good sleepover?! Food, movies and staying up all night talking. It's perfect! 2. Go shopping - Even if you don't buy anything, go and see what's out there and have fun with your BFF.  3. Go out for a drink - Now I know almost everyone immediately thought of alcohol then but nope. I'm actually talking about going to your local Costa and having a hot chocolate and a cozy chat.  4. Go for a walk - This is one of our favourite things to do! Even if you have no where to go just walk and talk. Go anywhere do something, anything. (We like to go to the fields near our houses or have a walk through the park.)

The meaning behind my name?!

By -
Hey guys! I hope you all having a great day. For this post I just thought I'd share with you the meaning behind my blog name; the idea, reason and thought process.  Okay so I feel like I'm pretty renowned for picking names that sound cool for about a day and the ones that don't do this, I forget about! So when I came up with the name Ashes To Ashes I was so pleased with myself I wrote it down and pondered over it. After a few days I STILL liked the name so there we have it. That's why I have this name.  Oh wait. I was meant to tell you how I came up with it/ it's meaning. Okay so I have always been a fan of the phrase "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust." And I guess this just reminds me that once your gone your nothing unless you leave behind a legacy. For some it's their children, for others their career, and to be honest I don't know what mine will be but I do know that if I die tomorrow I will of left something behind for people to re
