anyone for muffins?

My job leads me up some interesting paths and this week was definitely one of the more fun ones. I got to spend yesterday afternoon with tennis ace, Andy Murray. We’re publishing a video game that he appears in and as part of his contract we got to spend an hour in his company.  He was very sweet, if a little shy, but he had fun playing the game and talking to a journalist from The Sun newspaper.

To celebrate meeting Andy i made some muffins for my team at work. We have a (dull) weekly meeting and each week the chairperson brings in the nibbles. This week it was my turn to chair, so to keep the tennis theme i baked strawberries and cream muffins!

I was really pleased with how they turned out and they tasted delicious. I also baked a batch of savoury muffins too – cheese, tomato and courgette. I was rushing out the door to go and watch a 3D version of Coraline at the cinema so forgot to take a picture of them but they also looked fab! 

Both sweet and savoury options went down a treat with the team – nobody has baked food for the meeting before so it was nice to bring homemade goodies in. The savoury muffins were very cute as each one had a cherry tomato placed in the middle. As you bit into it, the sweet tomato smiled back and tickled your taste buds!
