Daughter wanted mourning cupcakes for her thirtieth birthday, so I made these - Nigella’s Guinness and chocolate cake, topped with a dark chocolate and Cointreau ganache (and black colouring).

On the advice of a friend, I’ve walked into St Andrew’s Gardens on my way to Fitzrovia. A former graveyard, it’s a green place of peace in a busy city. I’m sure you’ve been here, @theprofrog.bsky.social!
