I've been wanting to put this recipe up for so long! With university nearing its end, time has just been slipping out of my fingers. Three more weeks and I'll have to start fending for myself in the real world!
This has been my go-to recipe lately. It's easy and doesn't require any sort piping skill. I'm also loving the feedback that they're receiving from my family and friends. Even Kevin who isn't keen on sweets, gives it the tick of approval. So with the festive season coming up, this just might be the recipe for you.
