Nicisme over at Cherrapeno writes, “My mum must get so fed up with me. Whenever I pop over to see her, I always take a peek through her cookery books. She has quite a few that I don’t have, and some are very old. Just after Christmas last year, I noticed that she had an old Sainsbury’s magazine on the coffee table. It had some really good ideas in it and I thought these little snowmen cupcakes were quite cute.” Link

Did you know that rock candy is one of the oldest and purest forms of candy. It was originally used by pharmacists to make medicines for many kinds of illnesses. Link
