Ten things Tuesday- Things to bake

I'm in the mood for baking this week, and their are just so many beautiful baked things floating around in the blogging community! My top ten (in no particular order):


1. Baked lemon Donuts

From: Spicy Ice Cream
Don't these donuts look divine! And since they're baked they're healthier too! Yay!


2. Colourful Cupcakes

I've always meant to bake rainbow cakes, and The Dainty Squid makes it look so simple. (Hint: My interpretation of these may be appearing here later this week!)


3. French Toast Muffins

From: Sprinkle Bakes
Ooh! How clever! French Toast + Muffin = Yum!


4. Red Velvet Cakes for Valentines Day

From: Bakerella
Confession time: I have never had Red Velvet cake. Heck, I didn't even know what it was til last week! Which gives me all the more reason to make these beautiful little cupcakes.


5. Fig, Hazelnut and Rosemary Bread

Everything about this bread sounds divine. I'm picturing afternoon tea on a lazy Sunday!


6. Hot Chocolate Bites

9. Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

From: Love and Olive Oil
Yummo! I love cinnamon rolls and I love pumpkin, so why not combine them! We don't have nearly enugh pumpkin in our baking down under, nor cinnamon rolls!


10. Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Oh! Thats clever! I've had zucchini bread, but surely chocolate can only make it better!


Have fun baking and eating!
