It dawned on me whilst I was making my favourite cakes, muffins, that maybe I should do a blog on tried and tested recipes. I love to search the net myself for inspiration for different flavour combinations and when I let my guinea pigs be my tasters, (my friends and family), they would often ask for the recipe. So this is how I came up with Marvellous Morish Muffins. I hope you enjoy the recipes that I will post, along with photos to show my creations and also enjoy eating them as much as everyone else.
