Give me anything sweet-related and I will love you forever. I recently wandered into my local Old Fashioned Sweet Shop in Reading and had a 'light-bulb' moment.
*PING!*
My head was full of images of cakes overflowing with wonderful, sugary goodness. I was so excited to get baking I bought a big bag of giant swirly lollies, jelly snakes, candy necklaces, and jelly buckets and spades. At home, I whipped up a batch of vanilla cupcakes, brightly coloured frosting and piled them high with sweeties. I felt like I was 7 years old again!
Gloriously simple, these are the perfect treat to keep the kids happy (and that includes all the big kids out there!). What I love about these is you can go as mad as you like with the sweets and pick and choose your favourites to scatter on the top. I think I might take a trip to the sweet shop again and buy some Fruit Salads, Pear Drops, Dolly Mixture....(my mouth is watering at the thought of it).
