Flourless Chocolate and Raspberry Cupcakes. My son got engaged on the weekend and as part of the celebrations, he and his lovely fiancée asked me to make cupcakes. My future daughter-in-law is gluten intolerant and I wanted to make something that she could eat without worrying about the consequences. I needed to make one hundred cupcakes, so it gave me lots of chances to practise! Flourless Chocolate and Raspberry Cupcakes. Metric weights and measures used.

A touch of whimsy in a busy life. Life, fracturing into a million tiny pieces. But they are torn from my bloody fingers, torn away with force. I try to grab, try to keep them close, but the pull is too strong and they are gone. Months of heartache and pain. Every part of part of me breaking. Every part of my family fracturing. As hard as I try, as determined as I am to make it right, the cracks continue to form. The pieces continue to break away. Where is the light? .
