I baked: Chocolate chip cupcakes

Hubby had been working hard in the garden all morning, so while he was working, I baked some of these delicious chocolate chip cupcakes for his tea break. Oooh, how I love the smell of cupcakes baking in the oven!

These little beauties were fluffy and moist on the inside with a crunchy golden top. Needless to say, they were all gone by the end of the day!!
